Washington, Mar 24: Scientists may soon be able to find a way to prevent common blunders, such as spilling a cup of coffee or failing to notice a red light, thanks to a new research, which has shown that the human brain is capable of signalling when an error is about to happen.

A research team, led by a researcher at the University of California, Davis, in collaboration with the Donders Institute in the Netherlands, has found a distinct electric signature in the brain, which predicts when an error is about to be made.

Washington, Mar 24: Older adults can prevent fractures by taking oral vitamin D supplements at a dose of at least 400 international units per day, says a new study.

"The anti-fracture benefits of vitamin D have been questioned by several recent trials, leading to uncertainty among patients and physicians regarding recommendations for vitamin D supplementation," the authors write as background information in the article.

Washington, March 24: Images taken by the cameras of NASA’s Cassini spacecraft have captured, for the first time, the shadows of Saturn’s moons cast onto its broad expanse of rings, which signals the approach of a phase known as equinox.

Like Earth and most of the other planets, Saturn’s spin axis is tilted relative to its motion around the Sun.

New York, Mar 24 : Queen of pop Madonna's plans of adopting another child from Africa may have been foiled by her having a fling with 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz and by her hook-up with baseball star Alex Rodriguez.

Madge, 50, who wants to adopt 3-year-old Mercy James, has come under the scrutiny of Malawi''s adoption officials, and they have very strict rules when it comes to adopting.

Washington, Mar 24: Children and siblings of people with venous thrombosis, or blood clots in the veins, may be more than twice as likely to develop the condition than those without a family history, say Dutch researchers.

Venous thrombosis typically begins in leg veins, although the clot may subsequently break off and travel to the lungs.

"Because universal screening is not cost-effective, research efforts are focused on selection criteria that may be used to increase the chance of finding a genetic risk factor," the authors write.

Washington, March 24 : Redoubt Volcano in Alaska, has roared into activity overnight with a series of eruptions that blew ash as high as 9.5 miles (15 kilometers) into the sky, with scientists saying that more such explosions are due.

According to a report in National Geographic News, the Redoubt Volcano eruption has already sparked earthquake swarms and mudflows, and more are expected-along with perhaps a new lava dome.
