This is like science fiction. Lob the right sound frequency at stem cells and they turn to bone. “We can use the sound waves to apply just the right amount of pressure in the right places to the stem cells, […]
Preliminary results of the study, “show the algorithm’s projected accuracy is about 82 percent with a false positive rate of 11 percent over a 14-day period.” This is one of a few groups working on early detection with wearables. What […]
“Chemicals cost more than just money: Today, petrochemical production spews out nearly 2% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Now, researchers have taken an important step to vastly reduce that footprint, by using bacteria and waste gases from steel plants, […]
“People who are surrounded by many happy people and those who are central in the network are more likely to become happy in the future. Longitudinal statistical models suggest that clusters of happiness result from the spread of happiness and […]
“Our results indicate that response time slowing begins as early as age 20, but this slowing was attributable to increases in decision caution and to slower non-decisional processes, rather than to differences in mental speed.” | learn more
“From the beginning we are introduced to a menagerie that perches in the gray area between alive and not-alive: creatures like tardigrades and nematodes that can reemerge from cryptobiosis with the touch of water, pythons whose basal metabolic rates can […]
“A new study has shown how targeting an enzyme within fat cells can alter sensitivity to leptin and in turn drive rapid weight loss in obese mice, while also improving overall metabolic health.” | learn more
“The new substance is the result of a feat thought to be impossible: polymerizing a material in two dimensions.” | learn more
“Superabsorption had yet to be demonstrated on a scale large enough to build quantum batteries, but the new study has now managed just that.” | learn more
Researchers have known this for a while. But in this latest study, they also noticed concurrent changes in brain activity and, interestingly, how frequently readers sigh! | learn more
