Berlin - An elaborate study of genes from Ice Age and modern horses has shown that the horse was domesticated at least 5,000 years ago in a region known as the Ponto-Caspian steppe, scientists said Thursday.
That region spreads from modern-day Romania through Russia to Kazakhstan.
Washington, April 23: Astronomers have found the most distant signs of water in the Universe to date, in the form of water vapor contained in a jet ejected from a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy.
Dr. John McKean of the Netherlands Institute has made the discovery for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON).
The water emission is seen as a maser, where molecules in the gas amplify and emit beams of microwave radiation in much the same way as a laser emits beams of light.
Washington, April 23: Astronomers have found three brown dwarfs with estimated masses of less than 10 times that of Jupiter, making them among the youngest and lowest mass sub-stellar objects detected in the solar neighborhood to date.
The observations were made by a team of astronomers working at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de l’Observatoire de Grenoble
(LAOG), France, using the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT).
London, Apr 23 : Swedish researchers claim to have solved the mystery of how some animals can sniff out sickness.
Ivan Rodriguez at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and colleagues have found a type of smell receptor in mice that appears to respond to disease-related molecules produced by bacteria, viruses, or as the result of inflammation, reports New Scientist.
Washington, April 23 : Researchers at North Carolina (NC) State University have used a mathematical model that allows them to get a clearer picture of the galaxy's youngest supernova remnant by clearing away the distortions caused by "cosmic dust".
Their new data provides evidence that this remnant is from a type Ia supernova - the explosion of a white dwarf star - and raises questions about the ways in which magnetic fields affect the generation of the remnant''s cosmic ray particles.
