Archaeological discoveries do not only mean excavating thousands of years old buried civilisations. The archaeologists have found many more archaeological artefacts which tell a tale about that past era. Some of them are still a mystery or unexplained but the findings of these ancient artefacts are astounding. This could be

Indian-origin scientists in the US have discovered a new material which has higher conductivity and it could help in the development of faster, smaller and powerful electronic devices. The researchers of the University of Minnesota in the US said this nano-scale thin film material is unique as it has a high

When Antarctic explores first discovered a cliff stained with blood-red water in 1911, they assumed that red-hued algae were responsible for the color. The place quickly became known as Blood Falls, although it turned out to be neither blood nor algae. New evidence links Blood Falls to a large source of

The atmosphere of Mars is very dry and it is so thin that there is no chance of the existence of water. But the alien hunters claimed that they have found proof there was once green vegetation-'the petrified remnants of a Martian tree'. Curiosity rover on Sol 164 clicked an image that

We all know there are many health risks of drinking soda or sweet beverages. It causes tooth decaying, puts you at a higher risk of diabetes, heart attack and stroke and much more. But this time the other negatives added in the list. People who drink diet soda or any

A team of scientists at NASA has blended the essence of fashion and engineering to produce a new fabric to use in space. The 3D-printed metal fabric could be used as a shield for spacecraft from meteorites, astronaut spacesuit, capturing objects on the surface of another planet and also as an

After Mars, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning a mission to Venus. The ISRO has invited scientists to suggest studies for a probable orbiter mission to Venus. A senior ISRO official said the mission is expected to happen in 2020. According to ISRO, it has a plan that it

Scientists have developed a new wristband which can diagnose diabetes, crystic fibrosis from your sweat. It is basically a sweat sensor wristband. The band collects sweat then measures its molecular constituents and finally electronically transmits the results for analysis and diagnosis through a smartphone. In collaboration with the University of California-Berkeley, the

A team of researchers from MIT and UC Berkeley has built a prototype solar-powered device that can pull or extract fresh water from the air. It eventually could help dry and drought-stricken areas, say scientists who used it to pull three quarts of water from the atmosphere over 12 hours. The solar

A study finds that salty food diminishes thirst and increases hunger, due to a higher need for energy. Researchers from the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), the Max Delbrück Centre for Molecular Medicine (MDC), and Vanderbilt University examined the connection between salt intake and drinking using a mock flight to Mars. Researchers tested
