Swiss scientists from University of Zurich discover biomarker that predict the development of severe forms of Covid 19 in predisposed patients
Swiss scientist discover biomarker that predict the development of severe forms of Covid 19 in predisposed patients Patients at risk of contracting a severe case of Covid-19 may now be able to get timely treatment thanks to a new method developed by Swiss researchers, who studied the behavior of natural killer T cells in infected people. Detecting and treating life-threatening forms of the novel coronavirus disease before the acute symptoms kick in has been a challenge for medics since the start of the pandemic. Now, a team from the Swiss Univ…

Waiting for Finnish vaccine via nose: all extraordinary perks about the new frontier of immunology against Covid19 but it need money to end research.
Waiting for Finnish vaccine via nose: all extraordinary perks about the new frontier of immunology against Covid19 but it need money to end research. The perks of the needle-free Finnish vaccine include it being stored at refrigerator temperature, being inexpensive to produce, and requiring only one dose per person. However, its method of delivery implies less control over dosage, while its efficacy remains to be seen. Finnish nasal vaccine against the coronavirus A Finnish nasal vaccine against the coronavirus has proven effective on rodents,…
Health : Russian Sputnik V vaccine is really effective against UK variant of Coronavirus
Department of Virology by State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology VECTOR said : Russian Sputnik V vaccine is really effective against UK variant of Coronavirus, UK public health officials in December announced the emergence of the new coronavirus strain that is believed to be up to 70 percent more transmissible. Russia's coronavirus vaccines, Sputnik V and EpiVacCorona, are effective against the UK strain of the coronavirus, Russian research centre Vector confirmed Tuesday. The centre, which works under the auspices of the R…
Science: Top Researchers in Russia create a neural network system to analyze Nanoparticles
Science:Top Researchers in Russia create a neural network system to analyze Nanoparticles Scientists from Russia's National Research Nuclear University MEPhI are the first to have managed to "teach" a neuronet how to search and analyse nanoparticles with the help of a microscope. The neuronet "teaching" method they proposed will make it possible to say no to the manual processing of microphotographs, which will boost the speed and quality of analysis of new nanomaterials many times. The research findings have been pu…
The new ‘Anti-laser’ technology may signify the abandon of cables, giving the birth of long-distance power transmission wireless only
The new ‘Anti-laser’ technology may signify the abandon of cables, giving the birth of long-distance power transmission wireless only. Scientists have made a major energy transfer breakthrough, achieving unprecedented efficiency using a so-called ‘anti-laser’ device to capture diffuse microwave energy, taking humanity one step closer to a wireless future. At present, wireless charging for devices like smartphones is possible but within an extremely limited range, and with varying degrees of efficiency. Long-range wireless power transfer, on a…

Mummies have been found in at least 100 ancient coffins dug up at a huge cemetery in Egypt. Colourful, sealed sarcophagi and statues buried more than 2,500 years ago were displayed in a makeshift exhibit at the feet of the fa…
Science : Samara National Research University "S. P. Korolëv",Russia, has developed a true ecological engine based on liquid nitrogen !
Scientists at Samara National Research University are developing a highly efficient liquid nitrogen engine. Liquid nitrogen engine According to the developers, such engines don’t have a thermal footprint, so they can be used, for example, in special purpose unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as in environmentally friendly transport for specially protected nature areas. Cryogenic engines make uses of thermodynamics: due to the heat of the environment, cryofuel such as liquid nitrogen, when heated ,converts to high-pressure steam, which can be us…
Mystery : A boy has found in Costarica remains of unknow species of giant sloth bear.
A boy has found in Costarica remains of unknow species of giant sloth bear. This species of giant sloth bear was over three metres tall and weighed about four tonnes.This discover could rewrite the history of the American continent . A boy who found a fossil fragment in a creek stumbled upon an entirely new species, researchers say. The Costa Rican boy who made the find 17 years ago uncovered a species of giant sloth bear that lived 5.8 million years ago. Researchers in the country say the landmark discovery of the previously unknown gia…
Science : Fear of outside object impact ; 2 asteroids set to cross Earth’s orbit !
Two asteroids set to cross Earth’s orbit just hours apart as another Great Pyramid-sized space rock barrels our way . Two 100-meter-wide asteroids are set to cross Earth’s orbit within hours of each other in the coming days as another space rock, the size of ancient Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza, careens towards our planet. NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies, which tracks asteroids and comets that will come close to Earth, has confirmed that it is monitoring two asteroids that are due to hurtle past on Friday, September 25.

Mexico identifies submerged wreck of Mayan slave ship
Archaeologists in Mexico said Tuesday they have identified a ship that carried Mayan people into virtual slavery in the 1850s, the first time such a ship has been found. The wreck of the Cuban-based paddle-wheel steamboat was found in 2017, but wasn’t identified until researchers from the National Institute of Anthropology.
Science,Astronomy : Hubble captures incredible image of Cygnus supernova blast wave
The beautiful photo shows just a small portion of the blast wave that remains in the wake of the astonishing astronomical event. In the millenia since the supernova the remnant has expanded 60 light-years from its center. Interestingly the remnant continues to expand at the impressive speed of 350 kilometers per second. As the star shrapnel from the explosion mixes with low-density interstellar material it creates the magnificent veil-like structure captured in the photo. The Hubble Space Telescope has beamed back countless breathtaking photos…

Science,Health : Scientists see downsides to high-profile Covid-19 vaccines from Russia, China
Scientists see downsides to high-profile Covid-19 vaccines from Russia and China. CHICAGO (REUTERS) High-profile Covid-19 vaccines developed in Russia and China share a potential shortcoming: They are based on a common cold virus that many people have been exposed to, potentially limiting their effectiveness, some experts say. CanSino Biologics' vaccine, approved for military use in China, is a modified form of adenovirus type 5, or Ad5. The company is in talks to get emergency approval in several countries before completing large-scale tr…
