New Delhi, Dec 15 (PTI) Glacier loss around the world could peak in 2041 with about 2,000 disappearing every year under a global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius, a study has projected. After 2041, as smaller glaciers would have already disappeared, yearly loss would see a decline, researchers led by those at ETH Zurich and other institutes in Switzerland and Belgium explained. Under a global warming of 4 degrees Celsius, the peak occurs in 2055, but around 4,000 glaciers might be lost every yea ...Read More >
New Delhi, Oct 17 (PTI) Feeling a sense of relief after a sigh could be related to how lung movements during a deep breath reduce surface tension of the organ's fluid, making it easier to breathe, a study has found. Researchers, including those from Switzerland's ETH Zurich, observed how the lung fluid behaves when it is stretched and compressed through experiments in the laboratory. Lung movements during inhaling and exhaling subject the lung fluid to similar stresses. "The fluid coats the e ...Read More >
New Delhi, Aug 28 (PTI) Researchers have for the first time studied how behaviour of an electron in a molecule differs based on chirality -- a property that is crucial for developing effective drugs, among other purposes. Biological molecules, including those that form proteins and DNA, are said to be chiral, which is crucial in designing drugs that act specifically at the target to produce only the desired treatment effect without causing other physiological changes -- or 'specificity'. A dru ...Read More >
