Astronomers believe they’ve detected the first “rogue” black hole, roaming the galaxy alone. The object made itself known when it passed in front of a background star, bending the light with its extreme gravity.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceT… Continue reading First-ever “rogue” black hole discovered zipping through the galaxy
For around the past decade, a research group led by the Australia’s Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) has been investigating treatments for peanut allergies in children, and study by study, they are making some exciting progress. The latest … Continue reading Combination peanut allergy treatment leads to fewer side effects
While we know exercise can benefit our wellbeing in all sorts of ways, improved ocular health is probably not something most would associate with a bout of physical activity. A new study has uncovered some useful new insights in this space, suggesting … Continue reading Regular exercise found to help fight off dry and itchy eyes

Airstream first introduced the boundary-pushing eStream travel trailer concept two weeks ago at the Florida RV SuperShow. While it provided a broad overview of the self-powered trailer concept, it left out some critical specs and details. Now it has fi… Continue reading Self-driving electric Airstream trailer smartens up off-grid living

Researchers in Singapore have developed a prototype breathalyzer that is claimed to be as effective as PCR testing in identifying people with COVID-19. The system is over 95 percent accurate at detecting both symptomatic and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 inf… Continue reading Prototype COVID breathalyzer promises new way to test for coronavirus
In the event of a traumatic brain injury (TBI), chemical changes take place that can act as precursors for secondary damage, and scientists at Ohio State University have demonstrated a new monitoring device that can pick up these warning signs. The tea… Continue reading “Unprecedented” chemical sensor detects signs of injury in brain fluid
Type 1 diabetes begins when beta cells in the pancreas die off, meaning a patient can no longer produce enough insulin. Scientists have now identified a cellular pathway that can contribute to the death of these cells, and found that blocking it in mice and human cells keeps the beta cells alive for longer, delaying or preventing the onset of diabetes.
