In May 2006, the world’s most disgusting volcano erupted on the Indonesian island of Java. Lusi, as it was named, didn’t erupt lava though instead, sulfurous mud relentlessly poured out of the vent. Eleven years on, the eruption is still taking place, and it’s grown to be around 10 kilometers across. The eruption, known as Lusi, is still ongoing and has become the most destructive ongoing mud eruption in history. Researchers may have figured out why the mudflows haven’t stopped: deep underground, Lusi is connected to a nearby volcanic system. The relentless sea of mud has buried some villages 40 meters (130 feet) deep and forced nearly 60,000 people from their homes. The volcano still periodically spurts jets of rocks and gas into the air like a geyser. It is now oozing around 80,000 cubic meters (3 million cubic feet) of mud each day enough to fill 32 Olympic-sized pools. According to a new study, a team of scientists led by the University of Oslo has finally solved the mystery of how...

(Note: This is a press release) To help device manufacturers meet a growing demand for long-lasting low-power NarrowBand (NB) IoT modules, Gemalto and Huawei – via its semiconductor arm, HiSilicon – are working together to develop the next generation of modules that combine an extra level of security and consume very low power.

According to ABI Research, NB IoT modules connecting objects to networks are forecast to represent o...

With almost assuming that Moon is nothing but a barren land with nothing, just a decade back, various expeditions claimed that the moon has water bodies. It is believed that certain organisms are present there. With no precise idea about the amount of water present, it is simply assumed that Moon definitely has water. To everyone's surprise, the Moon, long thought to be a dry, inhospitable orb, hosts surprisingly large sub-surface water reserves, which one day may quench the thirst of lunar explorers from Earth, scientists said Monday. Shuai Li, co-author of a study by scientists at Brown University in the United States was quoted saying, "We found the signature of the lunar interior water globally using satellite data." This postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hawaii and Brown Ph.D. graduate also added that such water can be used as in situ resources for future exploration. Li noted scientists had believed the Moon to be "bone dry" until about a decade...

Climate change is real and it is clearly visible with the ongoing summers and winters. The depletion of diverse species and dissolution of many aquatic animals directly replicates the effects of worsening climate stats. Careful measures must be taken to protect ourselves from the assumed trauma. Global warming is 21st Century's leading problem and it is the crucial factor that plays a vital role in accelerating the rise of the sea level. This is now happening in the north Indian Ocean, when compared to the global estimate, it is believed that Indian Ocean's growth in level is quite absurd and unwell. The reports submitted by a group of Indian scientists in the Parliament revealed many more saddening things. According to those reports, the trend of sea level rise in the north Indian Ocean is slightly higher than the global estimate of 3.2 mm per year, Minister of State for Earth Sciences Y.S. Chowdary told the Rajya Sabha in a written statement. In the reply, the minister mentio...

Who can't be curious to watch Solar Eclipse? People across the world love to do it. Many are however unaware of the safety tips that must be followed while doing so. Considering the matter of interest, International Space Agency NASA has now finally come up with few set of rules. The agency stated that one must check the safety authenticity of viewing glasses to ensure they meet basic safety standards, as per NASA recommendations. NASA has taken this step as a total solar eclipse, which is when the Moon completely covers the Sun, will occur across 14 states in the continental US on August 21, along with a 112 km-wide swath of the country. It is believed that more than 300 million people in the US potentially could directly view the solar eclipse, and NASA wants everyone who will witness this celestial phenomenon to do so safely under proper measures.   NASA in its statement has said, "It's common sense not to stare directly at the Sun with your naked eyes or risk damaging ...

Climate change is real, we can feel the blistering sun tearing into our skins every summer, the situation is worse since last two years. Records claim that this year’s May was the second-warmest May in 137 years of modern record-keeping of average global temperatures. NASA claims that the two top May temperature anomalies have occurred during the past two years. 2016 was the hottest on record, at 0.93 degrees Celsius warmer than the May mean temperature. This May’s temperature was 0.05 degrees Celsius cooler than last year. It was just 0.01 degrees Celsius warmer than the third warmest May, which occurred in 2014. On the whole, as of now, the first half of this year was the second hottest – just behind 2016 – in 137 years of modern record-keeping on Earth, scientists said today. The average temperature across global land and ocean surfaces was 0.91 degrees Celsius above the 20th century average of 13.5 degrees Celsius. According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration...

With the series of theories from the very inception, it is always believed that Sun is totally an unusual star when compared to others. This existing theory on magnetic cycles has said so. But, contrary to the older ones, the recent study conducted by the NASA has disclosed some interesting things, the study reveals that our Sun is much like other stars, and not an anomaly because of its magnetic poles that flip every 11 years. The official report in journal Science aims to lay to rest the controversy over whether our solar system’s star is cyclic, like other nearby, solar-type stars we know of. Antoine Strugarek, an author and a researcher at the University of Montreal said, “We have shed light on a fundamental mechanism which determines the length of these cycles, which helps us understand the cycle itself over the long-term.” He then added: “We can, therefore, say of the Sun’s next magnetic cycle in 10 or 20 years will be intense, long or short, which helps us understand among other...

Forget birth chart, by just looking at a man’s hand, one can now tell what their true personality will be; if they’ll be rude and violent towards women! Want to know more about your new man? Look at his index and ring fingers. Apparently, according to researchers from McGill University in Canada, the length of these two fingers can reveal how a man will treat a woman.

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland were equally surprised when their finding showed that eggs could reduce the risk developing Type 2 diabetes by 40% per cent. Egg contains all the nutrients needed to turn a single cell into an entire baby chicken. Which means it contains all the nutrients and proteins in it, to form a baby chicken. A single medium sized egg contains 186 mg of cholesterol, which is 62% of the recommended daily intake. Egg Rich Diet May Cause Type 2 Diabetes : After a survey done on the eating habits on 2,332 middle-aged men during the l980s. The scientist found those who regularly took 4 eggs a week were 38% less likely to fall ill than those who never ate eggs or rarely consumed them. Type-2 diabetes are major cause of death worldwide. Everyone should be cautious about this issue. Nutrients present in the eggs that improve the metabolism in the body to make use of the sugar and result in less inflammation that often causes type-2 diabetes. Recent studi...

World's First Warm Blooded Fish found in deep ocean. Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has discovered a big fish that lives deep in the Pacific Ocean with warm blood. The opah fish is roughly the size of a large automobile tire. Which dwells hundreds of feet beneath the surface in chilly, dimly lit waters. Opah are found in waters off the US, Australia and several other countries. The opah fish they are at some point forced to return to the surface to warm up. The opah fish generates heat by constantly flapping its fins and has developed an internal “heat exchange” system within its gills to conserve the warmth. Warm blood that leaves the opah’s body core helps heat cold blood returning from the surface of the gills where it absorbs oxygen, maintaining an average body.  temperature of about 4C to 5C. Opah First Warm-Blooded Fish : Fish are generally classed among cold-blooded animals, known as ectotherms. Scientist have discovered opah’s un...

ROBOT Comforts People to sort and fold the Clothes : Robots are capable of doing any kind of work and they are helping people in many customs. After working vigorously for 3 years, the engineers from Scotland, Czech Republic, Italy and Greece have built this amazing robot that has the ability to fold our clothes. The 8 ft-high robot, nicknamed Dextrous Blue, is able to establish which type of fabric is in front of it by using a pair of digital cameras as its “eyes” and sensitive grippers as its “hands”, which tell it the texture of the clothes it has picked up. The idea of creating beneficial machines that can carry out household errands lead those scientists to build such a wonderful Robot. The robot which they had developed is 8 feet high and is named as Dextrous Blue. By using a pair of digital cameras, the robot is capable enough to set up the type of fabric material. Pair of digital cameras are used as its “eyes” and delicate grippers are its “hands”. The robot was designed by usi...

Daniel Bowman, a graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has recorded some sounds. Those sound waves were at frequencies below 20 hertz, which can not heard by humans. When you speed up those recording you can hear those sounds. The infrared sounds were recorded by Daniel Bowman ( Nasa student ) balloon experiment using infrared microphones. Daniel Bowman has designed and built the equipment. With the help of that equipment he was able to record those sounds. Alien Sounds above Earth : Daniel Bowman has captured these sounds 22 miles (36 kilometers) above the Earth's surface. The researchers had never "heard" many of the stratospheric signals. "I was surprised by the sheer complexity of the signal," Bowman said. "I expected to see a few little stripes." These signal are infrasonic waves, these sound waves can travel long distances. "It sounds kind of like 'The X-Files,'" Bowman He said he was building more...
