Paris, Oct 24 : The COROT satellite has used a technique similar to seismology to detect the presence of stellar quakes in three stars, an observation that has been made for the first time in stars apart from our own.

COROT, which is a joint collaboration between CNES and ESA (European Space Agency), used the seismology-like technique to directly probe the interiors of stars beyond the Sun for the first time.

When global oscillations of the Sun were discovered, scientists realised they opened a window to the Sun’s interior.

Like the propagation of seismic waves on Earth providing information about our planet’s interior, sound waves travel throughout the Sun carrying information about what is happening below the surface.

Washington, Oct 24 : A new research has indicated that a powerful greenhouse gas is at least four times more prevalent in the atmosphere than previously estimated.

The research, based on data from a NASA-funded measurement network, examined nitrogen trifluoride, which is thousands of times more effective at warming the atmosphere than an equal mass of carbon dioxide.

Using new analytical techniques, Ray Weiss of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, led a team of researchers in making the first atmospheric measurements of nitrogen trifluoride.

The amount of the gas in the atmosphere, which could not be detected using previous techniques, had been estimated at less than 1,200 metric tons in 2006.

Washington, October 24 : Scientists at Temple University’s School of Pharmacy are studying whether it is possible to foresee any side effects a particular dose of a medicine can have on a patient by testing his/her saliva.

Dr. Evgeny Krynetskiy, associate professor and director of the Jayne Haines Center for Pharmacogenomics and Drug Safety, has revealed that he has thus far focused his research on one of the most widely prescribed anti-coagulant called Warfarin, as it is responsible for most of the drug reactions among patients.

Washington, Oct 24 : A US Congressman, who was known for his criticism of the recently signed Indo-US nuclear deal, has said that China’s decision to supply two nuclear reactors to Pakistan was in violation of the international trade rules established by the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG)”.
