Heat-seeker ‘grenades’ have been developed by a group of British scientists to annihilate cancer tumors. In military, missiles equipped with infrared homing are the ones that dash towards targets giving off infrared radiation like the emissions of a jet engine. They are simply called heat-seeker missiles. In the realm of biology and medicine, cancer cells have been observed to grow and multiply... 

Chinese manufacturers have seriously advanced in making iPhone replicas; they no longer have antennas and TV tuners. A new fake iPhone 6s looks exactly the same as Apple’s flagship. However, it’s different on the inside and twenty times cheaper. The iPhone clone is a fraction of the price of a basic $649 iPhone model in the US. In appearance the devices are really similar. For example, the... 

NASA has uploaded satellite images of ancient earthworks that were discovered by a Kazakh archaeologist. Ancient geoglyphs discovered by Kazakh archaeologist Dmitriy Dei have sparked the interest of NASA, which published satellite images of the earthworks on its website earlier this month. Dei uncovered the geoglyphs, which can only be seen from the air, by studying images from Google Maps of the... 

The elusive Omura’s whale has been documented for the first time ever by an international group of scientists, over a decade after the mysterious mammal was described as a new species. Previously, no living Omura’s whales had been observed in the wild, according to the study published in the Royal Society Open Space journal. Researchers confirmed that they are tracing the first-detected living... 

A new material absorbs up to 99 percent of light that hits its surface, making it the ‘blackest’ man-made material ever produced. Scientists from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia have developed a material comprising nanoparticles composed of a nano rod – which helps absorb light. Light is absorbed regardless of the angle or polarization at which it hits... 

If life on comets was possible, Lovejoy would be a popular destination – scientists have found it releases alcohol and sugar in crazy amounts. But jokes aside, the finding is important as it backs the idea that comets could have seeded life on Earth. This is the first discovery that has witnessed a comet releasing ethyl alcohol in such amounts – 500 bottles of wine every second. “We found that... 

The US Defense Department seems to be increasingly worried that its existing fleet of strategic bombers is vulnerable to the newest Chinese and Russian-made air defenses. With that in mind, Air Force chiefs are now demanding new ‘trophy’ bombers with the latest weaponry, the mere presence of which would ‘give pause to US enemies.’ “The US Air Force wants up to 100 new bombers... 

US President Barack Obama may become the biggest obstacle to NASA’s Mars colonization plans in the next 15 years, Texan congressman, chairman of the House Science Committee Lamar Smith, told the Daily Caller website, Pravda.Ru reports. “Every year, the Obama administration proposes funding cuts to the programs that will eventually take American astronauts to Mars – the Space Launch... 

The Hyperloop vacuum train is said to start traveling in the United Arab Emirates between Dubai and Abu Dhabi already in 2016. The futuristic train will be able to develop the speed of up to 1,200 km/h. A ride on board this train from one emirate to another will take 15 minutes. According Russianemirates.com, the tests of the new train will begin in 2016. The train will be 15 meters long, 2.5 meters... 

Nadezhda Maksimova, a physician-geneticist, chief scientist of the educational-scientific laboratory “Genomic Medicine” at the North-Eastern Federal University, described a new deadly disease. The virus that the specialist from Yakutia discovered causes irreversible genetic mutation, after which a person can live for only three years. “Only two of 16 patients are alive,” the... 

A photo of the Sun from NASA’s orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory reveals an enormous coronal hole, a gap in the Sun’s outer layer and magnetic field. Images released by NASA show a massive hole in the Sun, 50 times the size of Earth, which is blasting an ultrafast solar wind towards our planet. The image of the Coronal hole was taken be NASA’s orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory... 

New photos from NASA’s Cassini satellite orbiting Saturn has sent back the best-ever photos of its subterranean sea-harboring moon Enceladus. Cassini came within 1142 miles of the Enceladean surface Wednesday on its 20th flyby of the moon since it began to orbit Saturn in 2004. The most recent images sent back were captured during the Enceladean summer in the Northern hemisphere, showing heretofore... 

Researchers from the University of York have used magnetic energy to suppress humans’ ‘threat-response’ functions and dramatically change people’s attitudes to immigration. Psychologists used magnetic force to safely shut down the region of the brain associated with “threat-response functions” and conducted a series of tests where volunteers were asked questions about their beliefs. Scientists... 

Scientists may have found a way to cure cancer in humans. Scientists say they might have made a breakthrough in fighting cancer, which could save millions suffering from the deadly disease. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) and the University of British Columbia (UBC) have found that malaria protein can attack and fight cancer cells. According to the research team, a malaria protein... 

Russia considers an opportunity to revisit space shuttle Buran program. The Buran blasted off for its maiden flight on November 15, 1989. Pravda.Ru spoke about the rise and fall of the Soviet program with test pilot and Hero of Russia, Magomed Tolboyev. “The program was closing very slowly. Interestingly, there is still no governmental decree about it. The work on the project was terminated...
