Drinking young blood could prevent age-related diseases, a new study suggests. Blood taken from a young person could be the key to maintaining long-lasting health in old age, scientists claim. Blood factors obtained from young beings can improve late-life health in animals, the study published in Nature journal revealed. It could also help reduce the chances of developing age-related diseases, the... 

An international team of researchers has managed to detect the missing 50 percent of visible matter in the universe. It is “a very exciting discovery”, Richard Ellis, Professor of Astrophysics at University College London, told Sputnik. “Understanding the constituency of the universe is of course a fundamental question in astronomy,” Ellis pointed out. He recalled that researchers... 

A new campaign, touted as the “October surprise that will end Trump”, is seeking to mobilise a “secret swing state” of more than 8 million mostly unregistered “global citizens” and “progressive” Americans living abroad to vote in the U.S. election.

Scientists have found that the stones used for building England’s Stonehenge prehistoric monument were cut off from a large piece of rock in Pembrokeshire in Wales. A team of experts from British universities and museums say the stones were broken off larger rock faces in the Preseli hills using wooden wedges and taken to England’s Salisbury Plain. Their studies showed that the holes cut into... 

Immigrants who came to live in Britain from outside Europe cost the public purse nearly £120 billion over 17 years, a new report has shown.

The search for alien life may have received an important boost from scientists who have designed a new tool that can more effectively detect methane on other planets. Since living things produce the vast majority of the methane found on Earth, detecting the chemical compound on other planets would be the clearest, possibly easiest way to pinpoint worlds hospitable to extraterrestrial life. With the... 

In a significant breakthrough, scientists have found a cheap and easy way to produce highly sought-after embryonic-like stem cells without terminating any embryos. The ground-breaking discovery could usher in a new era in stem cell biology. Although the research was carried out on laboratory mice, scientists believe that the same approach should also work on human cells, researchers said. “If... 

A new ice age could be on its way to Europe and some other parts of the Earth following an alarming fall occurred in the performance power of the Sun, scientists have warned. While the number of gas explosions on the Sun’s surface should be at the peak of its 11-year cycle of activity, but the recent research has indicated an unexpected drop off, researchers say. The occurred phenomenon has... 

New study conducted by an international team of researchers has unveiled the mystery of a genetic flaw which significantly increases the risk of obesity. A type of gene called FTO, which is known as fat-boosting gene, has put many lives at higher risks of obesity that is estimated to be one in six people. The recent study revealed that FTO made fatty foods more tempting and affected on hunger hormone...
