The CoronaVirus molecule Scientists at University of Pittsburgh Make Huge Discovery University of Pittsburgh scientists discover antibody that ‘neutralizes’ virus that causes coronavirus https://t.co/nHkzgzDH0x #FoxNews — Carol Duff (@CarolDuff18) September 15, 2020 Health Editor’s Note: This newly discovered antibody (biomolecule) is 10 times smaller than a regular sized antibody. The drug Ab8 which is a potential prevention against SARS-CoV-2 has been tested in mice and hamsters and since it does not bind with human cells, hopefully it will not cause negative side-effects in humans. Ab8 has the potential to be used as a therapy to treat COVID-19 but also as a […]

WASHINGTON, September 15 (Sputnik) – The search for extraterrestrial life suddenly shifted away from longtime target Mars with word that Earth-bound scientists had discovered signs of a alien microbe high in the toxic atmosphere of Venus, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said. “Life on Venus? The discovery of phosphine, a byproduct of anaerobic biology, is the most significant development yet in building the case for life off Earth,” Bridenstine said via Twitter on Monday. “It’s time to prioritize Venus.” Life on Venus? The discovery of phosphine, a byproduct of anaerobic biology, is the most significant development yet in building the case for […]
Let’s get the biggest point out of the way first: No, scientists did not announce proof of life on another planet. What they did find, however, is tantalizing in its potential meaning – though a great deal of work remains to rule out the possibility that other, unknown processes could be creating the phosphine signature detected in Venus’ atmosphere by a team of international researchers using ground-based telescopes on Earth. In short, it all comes down to the detection of phosphine in a temperate cloud layer of the Venusian atmosphere. Read the paper HERE. The phosphine signature, confirmed via independent observations […]

The Baltimore Sun’s Maggie Ybarra reported in a Twitter thread on Sunday that a prospective homebuyer who went to a house in the 1400 block of Baltimore’s Argyle Avenue found a dead body inside. According to Ybarra, the police learned of the discovery around 7:00 p.m. local time on Sunday evening. The remains, which were badly decayed, were examined by homicide detectives, crime lab technicians […]
Along with seemingly validating a particular Biblical account, the inscription found in the tunnel also appears to be “the only inscription from ancient Israel that commemorates a public works program”. An archaeological discovery made inside a legendary tunnel located beneath Jerusalem may serve as a testament of the Bible’s “historicity”, the Daily Express reports citing Tom Meyer, a professor in Bible and theology at Shasta Bible College and Graduate School in California. According to the newspaper, the tunnel in question, known as the Siloam Tunnel or Hezekiah’s Tunnel, was built about 2,700 years ago in order to supply water to the […]
The Norwegian sector of the North Sea is estimated as the richest, possessing about half of the North Sea oil and gas reserves. However, more than half of these reserves have been drained over the past several decades, according to official estimates. This year’s largest oil discovery to date has been made in the Dugong well in the North Sea, west of the Norwegian town of Florø. The oil company Neptune Energy, the operator of the Dugong license, estimated the discovery as up to 120 million barrels of recoverable oil equivalents. The Dugong license is located 158 kilometres west of Florø. […]
Pakistan’s energy major MOL Group has announced the discovery of a new oil and gas reservoir in the Kohat District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The discovery could ease the nation’s heavy reliance on energy imports. “I am delighted to announce that we have made another discovery in Pakistan,” said Berislav Gaso, MOL Group’s exploration and production EVP. “This new discovery has de-risked an exploration play in deeper reservoir in the Tal Block [an oil and gas field located in Pakistan’s Kohat District], leading to new upside opportunities. The Mamikhel South-1 discovery will also help to improve the energy security of the country from indigenous resources,” he added. […]
Researchers investigating how supermassive black holes (SMBH) form have made a major breakthrough using some state of the art kit to zoom in on a nearby galaxy like never before. The scientific community has long puzzled over how SMBHs form. Are they titans forged at the birth of the universe, with masses millions, if not billions, of times that of our Sun? Or are they merely mature versions of smaller ‘seed’ black holes that have grown so large by consuming everything around them? To answer this very question, astronomers and astrophysicists have been hunting for the smallest mass SMBH they can […]
The perpetual motion of the surface of the Sun generates huge tornados in its atmospheric layer, which, similar to their namesakes on Earth, present a swirling vortex of mass and energy, and are studied by scientists seeking to unravel the mystery behind the extraordinary heating of the solar corona. Groundbreaking observational evidence that giant tornadoes registered in the atmosphere of our Sun are produced by swirling magnetic fields has been provided by a new study, writes Phys.org. A team of collaborators from the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), the University of Warwick and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) reached their […]
Peter Strzok The Justice Department on Tuesday revealed in a court filing a single page of notes from former FBI counter-intel chief Peter Strzok that are exculpatory to General Mike Flynn. The content of the notes was not revealed because it is under protective order. Via John Solomon of Just the News: (emphasis our own) Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Sherwin informed U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan of the discovery in a midday court filing, revealing the single page of notes were believed to have been taken by Strzok during the critical juncture of early January 2017 when FBI agents recommended shutting […]
A new series about blockchain project Dragonchain is premiering on Discovery, and it’s been fully financed with $1 million in crypto. Production house Vision Tree Media said Friday its new “Open Source Money” documentary series, which will track crypto project Dragonchain, would debut on Discovery Science, a U.S. TV channel run by Discovery Inc., which also owns the Discovery Channel. While the five-part series, scheduled to start July 4, will center around Dragonchain, Vision Tree added it will do so against the backdrop of the broader cryptocurrency industry. The firm name-dropped former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, crypto entrepreneur Brock Pierce and […]
