dose of booster remained infection-free during the third wave in the country. Led by Dr Rajeev Jayadevan, co-chairman of the Indian Medical Association's national task force on coronavirus, the study further revealed that Covaxin and Covishield recipients had the same rate of infection.

The researchers concluded that a long gap after the second dose correlated with a higher chance of infection during the third wave.

Also, “giving a third dose before a six-month gap did not make a difference in the infection rate," it said. Who participated in the study? Of the 5,971 people, 24% were aged below 40 and 50% belonged to the 40-59 age group.

Women accounted for 45% of the people surveyed. A total of 53% were healthcare workers. As many as 2,383 people had taken a booster dose.

The universe is expanding more quickly than previously thought, scientists say
universe is expanding more quickly than previously believed, and scientists aren’t really sure why. A recent study, which is set to be published in the Special Focus issue of The Astrophysical Journal, said that new results more than double the prior sample of cosmic distance markers used to measure the expansion of the universe. Nobel Laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and his team, along with the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, "reanalyzed all of the prior data, with the whole dataset now including over 1,000 Hubble orbits." Hubble orbits mean the number of times the Hubble Space Telescope orbits the Earth, which is what was used to collect over 20 years’ worth of data to result in these recent findings. "You are getting the most precise measurement of the expansion rate for the universe from the gold standard of telescopes and cosmic mile markers," Riess said. When comparing measurements from previous data and the current data, Riess’ team found that the rate at which the universe is expanding was off. Previous measurements predicted the universe was expanding at a rate of 67.5 plus or minus 0.5 kilometers per second per megaparsec, according to NASA. However, Riess’ team showed the universe is actually expanding 73 plus or minus 1 kilometer per second per megaparsec, which predicts the size of the universe will double in about 10 billion years. "The funny thing is, it doesn’t match the prediction.
