Scientists Discovered On/Off Switch For Aging Cells
It’s the age that can’t be stopped; always grow. Our age increases because of aging cells. But now, scientists at the Salk Institute, have discovered a “switch” that controls how fast cells age, and could play an important role in aging and cancer.
Scientists Made World’s First ‘Diamond Nanothreads’, Possibly The Strongest Material On Earth
Diamond is one of the hardest materials in the world. So logically, things made from diamonds should also be very stiff. However lately, a group of researchers from Penn State University, has created the first diamond nanothreads. According to researchers, mathematically, these diamond nanothreads are possibly the strongest and stiffest material on Earth.
Study Finds Human Brains Can Make Decisions During Sleep
Many people think that when a person sleeps, his/her brain also sleeps. But that’s not true. Human brain doesn’t shut down when people are in sleep.
