Alta Bates Summit Medical Center is facing $71,000 fine because of a violation of safety procedures. According to UPI report, the hospital was unsuccessful in placing 23 suspected tuberculosis patients in working isolated treatment rooms causing exposure to the risk of possible infection to other Alta Bates patients, visitors and staff.

With the help of observations by two powerful space telescopes, it has been found that the mysterious stuff that makes up about 85% of the universe’s total matter is weirder than ever considered.

According to the researchers, they observed huge colliding galaxy clusters and with the help of this they have deduced how dark matter behaves at the time of these vast encounters. So far, the researchers have studied a handful of cluster smashups.

About 72 galactic cluster collisions have been focused by a new survey by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The survey has focused the collisions from all angles and at different times during their collisions.

Since 1997, the Oklahoma Department of Health has reported its first case of measles on Friday. The first confirmed case has raised concerns among officials, who now look for any secondary infections.

According to researchers, lobsters, butterflies and spiders are living relatives of a recently recognized species named Yawunik kootenayi. Yawunik kootenayi is a marine creature having two pairs of eyes and prominent grasping appendages.

The fossil has been identified by a team of researchers at the University of Toronto and the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. Cedric Aria, a PhD candidate in U of T’s Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology said that this creature increasing their point of view on the anatomy and predatory habits of the initial arthropods. Arthropods are the group to which spiders and lobsters belong.

It’s been a long time now that researchers have been trying to find out about the true nature of pandas when they are out in the wild. In the new research, scientists tracked pandas’ behaviour through GPS devices.

A research by the Michigan State University has provided first in-depth look about the movement of pandas, their behaviour and how they live among the giant pandas. The researchers said they continued to track five wild pandas electronically for more than two years.

Study’s co-author Vanessa Hull and Jindong Zhang said, “Pandas are such an elusive species and it’s very hard to observe them in wild, so we haven’t had a good picture of where they are from one day to the next”.

On Friday, three astronauts were launched from Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan for the International Space Station where they will begin an orbital stay for one year.

After six hours of the launch, the Russian Soyuz capsule docked with the orbital outpost. The launch took place from Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 3:42 p.m. ET and it docked with the orbital outpost at 9.34 pm ET.

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko will spend a year on the station. Kelly and Kornienko will undergo tests, including strict medical monitoring for studies, aimed to know how long-term stay in space affects human body.
