A new research from Australia revealed that small dose of testosterone can delay muscle aging

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) officially released the dazzling image of the 2013 Comet ISON that Hubble Space Telescope was able to capture last April 30, 2013. The image shows Comet ISON speeding its way close to planet Earth with a visible tail and spectacular background.

A NASA spacecraft, Karen Fox, captured on video various images of a massive hole in the sun's atmosphere. The solar anomaly known as a coronal hole was estimated to be almost a quarter of the sun's size and reported to be emitting solar gas and other material into space.

A video, now getting more hits in sharing sites such as YouTube, is disturbing those who had viewed the images because of its disturbing cruelty to animals. The short video showed a mother kangaroo show twice by an arrow on the spine and leg.

French researchers have discovered one of the largest viruses, the Pandoravirus, known to science in a Melbourne’s La Trobe University pond. The Pandoravirus has been named after the myth of Pandora’s Box because of its potential for great scientific consequences.

A study by German and Swiss scientists published in the journal Nature Geoscience has disclosed that earthquakes not only trigger landslides and tsunamis and do massive damages to infrastructure, not to mention lives lost. They also trigger the release of damaging greenhouse gas methane from underground reservoirs.

Since the early days of space travel, a consistent complaint has been of drinking coffee in a cup. It was not an easy task for astronomers to have a cup of coffee, while they were in space. Pouring hot coffee into cups is a dangerous task. Fluids behave in a very different way outside of Earth's atmosphere. Drinking coffee in the microgravity environs of space is a tough proposition.

A joint military mission by the U.S. and Australia with about 30,000 soldiers was forced to abandon bombs from an aircraft after failing to land their fighter jets safely. The US Navy told the Australian government that it would offer any help required to remove the bombs mistakenly dropped inside the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef marine park .

HIV/AIDS has no cure known to date and WHO recommends early treatment for patients to prevent spreading the disease. Several techniques have been recently reported which treated few people; however, the effectiveness is as high as the danger it imposes. So, if you are not aware of it, here are 15 myths and facts about HIV/AIDS.

China, the world's chief emitter of carbon dioxide greenhouse gases, is poised to invest 1.7 trillion yuan (AU$298 billion) to remedy the growing air smog pollution problem lording over its horizons which has killed thousands and sickened hundreds over the years. Specifically, the amount will be used to institute programmes and measures to combat the smog situation in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.

The set used in the 1990s movie Jurassic Park would look like a miniature model when Australian mining magnate Clive Palmer builds the world's largest dinosaur park.

Researchers from the University of St Andrews in Scotland discovered that marine mammals use a unique whistle to identify one another. The proof of this is that the animals responded when they heard their unique call - which is similar to the function of a human name - played back to them.

According to a report released on Thursday by the US Department of Energy, rising temperatures can reduce production at power plants. Power plants may reduce their power generation or shut-down temporarily.

Medical researchers are closing in to find a cure for HIV/AIDS and the medical world formulated the possible output from many positive results and development globally. The United Nations's main goal is to halt and reverse the spread of AIDS by 2015.

Our blue planet, Earth smiled from far away distance of Saturn and posed to the wide-angle camera on NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The image captured Saturn's rings and Earth with its moon in the same frame.

Scientists have discovered a fossilized tooth of the biggest and oldest aquatic reptile in Australia in Gippsland.

One of the highlights of a tour of New Zealand's Parliament building in Wellington, more popularly called the Beehive, is a short video clip on the building being earthquake-proof.

Neil Armstrong landed on the moon in Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969 and nearly 600 million television viewers watched the historical event live across the world, including a five-year-old Jeff Bezos, now the CEO of Amazon. A day before the 44th anniversary, Bezos disclosed that the two rocket engines that his team had found from the depths of the Atlantic are from Apollo 11.

Medical researchers have found a new way fight HIV/AIDS by using bone marrow treatment and cell engineering. The so-called Berlin patient opened a new hope towards possible cure and end the war against a worldwide epidemic.

A 12-year old boy with HIV and leukaemia died after a historic cell transplant at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital aimed to get the same result of three men cured of HIV and blood cancers.

Two separate men "cured" from HIV after a surprising side-effect from cancer treatments and encouraged researchers and medical experts to look into possible potential method as HIV/AIDS treatment.

A strange horned dinosaur from the Cretaceous period was discovered in Utah that is believed to have evolved in North America. Meanwhile in Florida, a tooth of the Tyrannosaurus rex was found in a tail of a plant-eating dinosaur

Sun observers will be treated to some spectacular solar effects in the coming days as waves of particles from an enormous coronal mass ejection (CME) would pass Earth within three days. The solar phenomenon is called a geomagnetic storm, which is a normal event and would not directly harm humans.

Research scientist and sex expert Debby Herbenick is working on a new project, “What do you like about your Vulva and Vagina?”

Scientists rejoiced at the phenomenal discovery of fossils that are possibly millions of years old in the northern part of Brisbane. The scientific discovery at a work site was hailed as the world's first to include a rare collection of 50-million-year-old fossils, including crocodiles, fish, frogs and plants.

A survey from The Australian Academy of Science found that Aussies did not know if humans lived at the same time as dinosaurs

GPS (global positioning systems) signals messed up during storms are indeed tricky and risky for drivers and pilots. But undependable they may be during weather disturbances, this very same haywire activity could prove useful to NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Scientists from both institutions have discovered that the wind speeds and wind strength of tropical cyclone storms can actually be predicted by just how messed up the actual GPS satellite signals are.

Google may be to blame for the young Australians' lack of basic scientific knowledge. Today's Generation Y depends on the popular search engine rather than own brains. Experts say this reliance on the Internet is a factor in the lack of scientific knowledge.

At the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology yearly conference last week, fertility experts were divided if there is a global sperm crisis looming amid an observation of declining sperm count in the past 10 years.
