London, Apr 1 : If you and your husband want a baby boy, then go live in the hills, suggests a new study.
A research has found that women living in cooler climates are more likely to give birth to boys than those in the tropics.
The study, which has for the first time demonstrated that latitude affects the sex of human babies, was based on global birth data collected by the CIA between 1997 and 2006 in 202 countries.
Sydney, April 1 : In a new research, a scientist has suggested that long-necked sauropod dinosaurs would had to have used far too much energy to hold their neck upright and browse tall trees.
Sauropods were about as heavy as a whale and had necks nearly five times the length of a giraffe's.
The animals have generally been reconstructed with upright necks and it was assumed they grazed on tall trees.
Washington, April 1 : Conservationists have reported a previously unknown population of Irrawaddy dolphins in Bangladesh, which would give scientists "great hope" for the survival of the rare species.
According to a report in National Geographic News, a research team estimated that 6,000 Irrawaddy dolphins thrive in the country's Sundarbans mangrove forests and nearby waters of the Bay of Bengal.
Washington, April 1 : Researchers, using CT imaging to study a priceless bust of Nefertiti, have uncovered a delicately carved face in the limestone inner core and gained new insights into methods used to create the ancient masterpiece and information pertinent to its conservation.
"We acquired a lot of information on how the bust was manufactured more than 3,300 years ago by the royal sculptor," said the study's lead author Alexander Huppertz, M. D., director of the Imaging Science Institute in Berlin, Germany.
The collapse of the roof of an under construction building at the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) campus in the Kerala capital, Thiruvananthapuram, killed one and injured 30 other workers on Tuesday.
The ISRO reported that the accident, resulting in one death and injuries of many, took place when a portion of the roof of the new five-storey building collapsed at the ISRO campus, which is also known as the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre. The Indian space agency told that 8 of the injured workers were in a serious condition.
London, March 31 : Scientists are all set to start the US National Ignition Facility (NIF), which is literally a huge laser experiment aimed at recreating conditions at the heart of our Sun.
According to a report by BBC News, the experiment is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of nuclear fusion, a process that could offer abundant clean energy.
The lab will kick-start the reaction by focusing 192 giant laser beams on a tiny pellet of hydrogen fuel.
