According to researchers, the organisation Ibn Rusdh, a major benefits recipient, spreads an activist brand of Islam, targetting newly arrived migrants and marginalised Muslims living in vulnerable neighbourhoods. Two senior Swedish researchers and associate professors Magnus Ranstorp and Aje Carlbom have highlighted the threat of parallel societies being indirectly funded through taxpayer money in... 

While the finding does not support the hollow earth theory, it does provide some interesting insights into geology and the history of the Earth. Mountains larger than Mount Everest and rougher than Tibet likely lie deep beneath Earth’s surface, a recently published study has revealed. Researchers from the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics in China and at Princeton University in the US state... 

Scientists have determined that chemical hazes and clouds are able to impact surface temperature and a planet’s ability to support life. A team of scientists at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have for the first time managed to recreate the atmosphere of nine exoplanets in a laboratory setting “I think we are going to learn a lot about [our] Solar System from doing these experiments.... 

The layers of ice discovered on Mars could serve as a life-saving source of water for human explorers of the Red Planet, NASA scientists believe. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has discovered ice sheets 300-feet-thick running just below the Martian surface. Eight such geological formations with thick ice hiding very close to the surface have already been found on the Red Planet, and are seen by scientists... 

A paper by two Apple AI researchers on improvements to robot navigation is fueling speculation that the computer giant is delving deeper into the business of self-driving cars. Published by Yin Zhou and Oncel Tuzel on Arxiv, a site for scientific papers yet to be peer reviewed, the report details software called VoxelNet. The 3D detection network is pitched as an alternative to LiDAR, a laser-surveying... 

Scientists have discovered how to make old human cells young again through rejuvenation. It’s an exciting discovery that could change the way humans age. Researchers at the University of Exeter and University of Brighton found they could rejuvenate senescent cells, cells that had stopped their natural growth cycle, causing them to start to divide again. The experiment found they not only look younger,... 

CERN researchers are baffled at how matter thrived in the early universe when it should have been destroyed by antimatter, a discovery which evokes a theory that the universe is controlled by a mysterious realm lying outside space and time. The researchers made a technological breakthrough when they compared the magnetism of an antiproton to that of a proton using a new technique which is 350 times... 

Researchers have discovered the part of the brain that produces the “voices” that some schizophrenia sufferers are tormented by and managed to partially silence them by using magnetic pulse therapy. Schizophrenia is a serious long-term mental health problem, with symptoms that can include delusions and hearing voices, which is called Auditory Verbal Hallucination. About 70 per cent of people with... 

Secret messages embedded in television adverts can direct smartphones to spy on their owners using listening software, according to German researchers. There’s been a huge growth in Android apps using software that’s designed to search for inaudible “ultrasonic” signals, and these signals can contain code which orders apps to begin tracking people’s location, what they’re watching on television... 

Researchers at the Russian Academy of Sciences have managed to transform a nanomaterial into a potent weapon against HIV. Scientists at the Russian Academy of Science have discovered a way to dissolve a carbon nanomaterial known as fullerene in water, turning it into a substance capable of eradicating HIV molecules in a human body, according to an article published by the Organic & Biomolecular... 

A major scientific search is underway in Queensland, Australia for the Tasmanian tiger, thought extinct for over 80 years. A series of possible ‘plausible’ sightings have triggered hope a rare species has returned from the brink. Camera traps are being deployed across Cape York Peninsula by James Cook University researchers to survey sites where the creature, also known as the Tasmanian wolf,... 

Ancient fossils discovered in Canada are “direct evidence” that life existed on Earth 4 billion years ago, scientists wrote in a newly-released study, believing the emergence of life could be simple enough to begin on other planets. Researchers believe the microfossils – discovered in Canada’s Nuvvuagittuq Supracrustal Belt, which hosts some of the oldest sedimentary rocks known on Earth... 

Scientists have discovered a way to convert nuclear waste into radioactive black diamond batteries which last more than 5,000 years. Researchers at the University of Bristol have found a means of creating a battery capable of generating clean electricity for five millennia, or as long as human civilization has existed. Scientists found that by heating graphite blocks – used to house uranium rods... 

Teenagers who watch pornography are more likely to become a sexual predator, research suggests. Cutting their access to sexually explicit content could prevent them from becoming rapists, scientists claim. But despite the easy access to pornography, other methods could also help to cut down on sexual abuse cases. Improving sex education at school and teaching youngsters to respect their future partners... 

Antarctic sea ice had barely changed from where it was 100 years ago, scientists have discovered, after pouring over the logbooks of great polar explorers such as Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton. Experts were concerned that ice at the South Pole had declined significantly since the 1950s, which they feared was driven by man-made climate change. But new analysis suggests that conditions are...
