A new study, on the other hand, questions whether we are really lacking adequate sleep; perhaps, the real issue has to do with darkness-deprivation. The researchers of the new study, led by Jerome

The paper is published in the Journal of Neurochemistry. Why do cigarette smokers often also tend to drinking alcohol, and vice-versa? Is
Scientists expect a mysterious piece of space debris to hit our planet on November 13. Named WT1190F, it will apparently land off the coast of Sri Lanka. WT1190F is most probably artificial in origin. Researchers do not yet have a clear idea of its make-up. Its presence was detected by the Catalina Sky Survey of
New research published in the journal Microbiome shows that the International Space Station houses trillions of microorganisms, including fungi and bacteria. The latter have been detected in the air and on the surfaces of the space lab. Furthermore, some of these might even be harmful. For the new study, the researchers did DNA sequencing to
Researchers of a new study have used snake venom to make a hydrogel named SB50 to stop bleeding efficiently. It has been shown to work well even with anti-coagulant medications. The paper is published in ACS Biomaterials Science and Engineering. Scientists from Rice University, US, have transformed the way the world will view snake venom:
