Japanese scientists at Osaka University have created artificial marble beef using bioprinting methods. In texture, it resembles the meat of Wagyu cows. This was reported by scientists in their article published in Nature. Workers of Osaka University have created artificial marble beef Wagyu as a vegetarian alternative to the original. Wagyu has a genetic predisposition […]
A student-teacher team from Oman is competing in a global innovation and robotics challenge, alongside peers from about 170 countries, Times of Oman reports. The six-member team, supported by two teacher-supervisors, has completed the initial phase of First Global 2021. The three phases comprise the solution, robotics and nanosatellite challenges. First Global is an annual […]
Meteorology is the science dealing with the atmosphere and its phenomena, including both weather and climate. Where did the practice of meteorology come from? Though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where the origins of meteorology lie in history, many attribute its beginnings to Aristotle, who wrote about metrology way back in 350BC.

The number of species of animals on the Earth is decreasing. We have to remember it not only on World Wildlife Day (March, 3), but every day. Let’s check the Chas News compilation about how cloning can solve the situation. In a childhood, many people admired dinosaur pictures in books. Such powerful creatures had nothing […]
Nuclear reactions are smoldering again in an inaccessible basement of the wrecked Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine, Live Science reports. Researchers monitoring the plant — which infamously exploded in a deadly 1986 meltdown — have detected a steady spike in the number of neutrons in an underground room called 305/2. The room is full […]
Islamic Development Bank and International Center for Biosaline Agriculture has been working on several technologies and innovations to boost agricultural productivity and improve farmers’ livelihood, in non-arable lands and harsh ecosystems. Over the course of the pandemic, as priorities changed and expectations evolved, the consensus on working towards greater sustainability has emerged stronger than ever. […]
