Our human brain performs a variety of activities and functions throughout the day. The temperature of human brain keeps changing throughout out the day. Now, according to new research, the normal temperature of the human brain swings significantly more than previously assumed, and this could be an indication of good brain function. The study states that some areas of the deep brain can reach temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celsius, albeit this varies depending on sex, time of day, and other factors. When compared to…

The universe has many things that we don't know yet. But astronomers all over the world are continuously working on unravelling those mysteries. They recently discovered a previously unknown structure, with a faint radio emission covering a giant galaxy, that had been hiding in the “shadows”. The radio emission extends for tens of thousands of light-years across the host galaxy 3C 273. The researchers say there's an energetic black hole at the centre of the galaxy. They made the discovery using the Atacama Large…

The world's favorite herbicide is making it harder for buff-tailed bumblebees to keep their hives warm enough to incubate larvae, new research finds. Bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) face food shortages due to habitat loss and the widespread monocultures of agricultural crops. Like honeybees, they feed on nectar collected from plants, and store more of it in their nest. They also gather nectar and pollen to feed their young.   Bumblebees are unique in their ability to maintain a collective 'thermostat' of sorts, to keep…

Artificial intelligence or AI algorithms trained on real astronomical observations speed up the pace of discoveries. However, astronomers at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered that AI can reveal unsuspected connections hidden in complex mathematics arising from general relativity — in particular, how that idea is applied to the discovery of new planets around other stars. An AI algorithm built to locate exoplanets faster when such planetary systems pass in front of a background star and temporarily…

Heart MRI scan.Levels of alcohol consumption currently considered safe by some countries are associated with the development of heart failure, according to new research presented at Heart Failure 2022, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).“This study adds to the body of evidence that a more cautious approach to alcohol consumption is needed,” said study author Dr. Bethany Wong of St. Vincent’s University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. “To minimize the risk of alcohol causing harm to the heart, if…

The new snake species belongs to the genus Phalotris, which features 15 semi-subterranean species distributed in central South America. This group of snakes is noted for its striking coloration with red, black, and yellow…

Kidneys perform a vital function in removing waste and toxins from the blood, but how exactly cells transport that fluid through the organs has remained a mystery. Now researchers at Johns Hopkins University have investigated the mechanical forces at work and found a previously unobserved pumping action by kidney cells.All the blood in your body passes through the kidneys dozens of times per day, flowing through tiny tubes and filtering units before the “clean” blood makes its way back out into the bloodstream. But the…

Whatever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paperboy, and — reasonably priced real estate? For a brief moment, it looked like the iconic San Francisco home from the beloved sitcom Full House was on the market for a whopping $37 million. However, after a little digging, it turns out you won’t need to sell your soul to purchase the historic piece of property. Fans of the show looking to relive some of their favorite series moments might have had trouble gathering up the cash to purchase the Broderick…
