Solar Corona Is Boiling Hot, Thanks To The Turbulence Emergence

The corona of the Sun is millions of degrees hotter than its outer surface. Thus, the Sun totally defies the traditionally gathered scientific understanding. The astrophysicists from the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) along with other scientists have found the reason for the corona’s extreme hotness. The team…

Nanoparticles Create A New Horizon For Cancer Treatment

Recently, a group of researchers from the UNIST has recently developed a new targeted drug delivery system so as to enhance the therapeutic and pharmacological properties of usual cancer treatments. The current technology has all of a sudden improved the safety and efficiency by making use of the supramolecularly formed protein corona guard as a…

Apple Patent Tips-Off That Future Devices Could Sense Harmful Gases

Reportedly, Apple been endowed with a patent for implementation of technology that might enable future Apple devices to sense toxic gases. Speckled by an Apple patent-tracking website, the new patent specifies the tiny gas sensors of the firm that will arrive with features such as enhanced poisoning resistance, decreased signal resistance, and improved stability. Apple…

Firefox 65 Includes New Privacy Options For Enhanced Control Over Trackers

A Strong Energy Might Be Developing, As Per X-Ray Observations

X-ray observations of about 1,600 quasars, super-heavy black holes galaxies that are active in their hearts, indicate that dark energy, the mysterious force that accelerates the expansion of the universe, may not be a cosmological constant. Instead, it could become sturdy throughout cosmic time. Dark energy was explored about Twenty Years ago by observations of…

Astronomers Suggest, It Is Time To Take Look For E.T. Seriously

For a long time a marginalized and underfunded scientific domain, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence may be all set to go live. Astronomer Jason Wright is strong-minded to make this possible. At an assembly in Seattle of the American Astronomical Society in January, Wright called for “small groups in a small room” to develop a…

Heavy Drinking Can Possibly Lead To Permanent DNA Alteration

Over-consumption of alcohol may prompt a lifelong genetic modification, resulting in an even more craving for alcohol, according to a research done by the scientists at Rutgers and Yale University School of Medicine. The study is published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. Dipak K. Sarkar—director of the Endocrine Program at Rutgers University…

Audi Bets Users To Pay Extra For The A7’s Tech Upgrades And Design

Plausibly, you must purchase the lower-cost Audi A6. They have the similar powertrain. They manage almost identically. The issue is, users do not purchase cars on the basis of logic.
