WASHINGTON (TIP): Earth may be lying within the sights of a potentially lethal gamma-ray burst that can wipe out a quarter of our planet’s protective atmospheric ozone, scientists claim. A Wolf-Rayet star called WR 104, […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): Bioengineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a waterproof fabric that whisks away sweat using microfluidic technology. The new fabric works like human skin, forming excess sweat into droplets that drain […]
WASHINGTON (TIP): Disney researchers have developed a new humanoid robot that is able to recognise when a person is handing them objects and predicting where to make the hand-off. The robot can receive an object […]
LONDON (TIP): Scientists believe they have for the first time found evidence of the existence of other universes by analyzing data gathered by the European Space Agency’s Planck spacecraft. Theories that our universe could be […]
MUMBAI (TIP): The red planet has been bombarded by more than 200 small asteroids or bits of comets annually forming craters which are atleast 3.9 metres across, according to Nasa. This has been revealed from […]
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (TIP): An automated telescope monitoring the moon has captured images of an 88- pound (40 kg) rock slamming into the lunar surface, creating a bright flash of light, NASA scientists said. The […]
