Researchers show that eating all calories in a 10-hour window could improve health. They performed experiments with mice and found this type of fasting reduces the risk of developing diabetes, fatty liver, and high cholesterol. The expression of...
The new method uses naturally abundant materials to remove dissolved substances from rainwater. Researchers coated the sand with manganese oxide, making it more biodegradable. Urban storm water contains low concentrations of trace organic...
New 3D printed smart gels can walk underwater, pick objects and move them. Their movements and shape can be controlled by applying varying electric fields. It could lead to the development of artificial stomach, heart, and other muscles. ...
A massive new study investigates the health risks associated with alcohol. It considers data from previous 592 studies conducted between 1990 and 2016 in 195 countries, which involved over 28 million people. The study shows that any level (including...
Gold nanostars could help increase solar energy use and combat climate change. When coated with a semiconductor, they produce hydrogen from water 4 times more efficiently than previous demonstrations. Colloidal gold nanoparticles have been used for...
A new method generates the first measurement of all 6 parameters of a particle beam. This will help scientists build efficient, high-powered particle accelerators. Particle accelerators are machines that use electromagnetic fields to propel...
A new form of endoscopic imaging catheters, named nano optic endoscopes are far efficient than existing catheters. They could be used in any complex medium to obtain high-quality focusing and detect diseases, including cancer. Diagnosing internal...
Researchers predict a new material made of tungsten boride, named WB5. The material is thermodynamically stable at zero pressure and zero Kelvin temperature. It has a 45 GPa of Vickers hardness and can possess nearly 4 MPa * m0.5 of fracture...
Researchers have built a new model for analyzing stock trading behavior. It shows that the anterior insular cortex regions of the brain are more active among individuals who do not buy stocks. Despite huge profit expectations in long-term, most...
Researchers discovered a technique of levitating a magnetic bar while it spins in a fluid. This insight could aid in the design of bidirectional fluidic pumps and artificial swimmers. Levitation is a method of suspending something in stable...
Human brain perceives sounds during sleep, but it’s unable to group these sounds in an appropriate sequence. Scientists used magnetoencephalography to prove that speech cannot be recognized during non-rapid and rapid eye movement sleep. The...
Researchers examined cancer treatment as a game played by the physician and tumor cells. The physician, as a leader in the game, can regularly monitor cancer responses during each treatment cycle. This approach combined with a mathematical model...
