Extreme stars may possess mountains similar to those found on moons in our solar system, potentially creating detectable oscillations in space and time. Neutron stars may have mountain-like structures that impact their rotational speeds and can emit continuous gravitational waves, observable by LIGO. By studying analogous surface features on moons and planets, scientists can predict […]

Kimchi has been shown to reduce body fat and improve gut health, supporting its potential as a dietary strategy to address global obesity, based on various studies and clinical trials. Obesity has become a global epidemic, with approximately 16% of the world’s population, or about 890 million people, suffering from this condition. The World Health […]

Researchers at KIT are addressing the challenges posed by the rapid growth in data volumes and the demands of AI technologies through the ATHENS project. The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded a Synergy Grant to the ATHENS research project, led by Professors Christian Koos and Stefan Bräse from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). […]

Recent research reveals that “nerve glue” plays significant roles in psychiatric conditions such as depression and schizophrenia. These findings suggest that understanding these cells could lead to personalized medicine and better treatment approaches based on individual cellular behaviors. Emerging Research on Neuroglia It’s only in the last few decades that neuroglia, a diverse group of […]

New research led by NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory reveals unusual ocean surface currents in the Bay of Bengal that defy traditional models by moving to the left of surface winds. This finding, derived from long-term buoy data, holds implications for various scientific domains including climate studies, marine ecosystems, and disaster response strategies. New Research […]

Late Neolithic communities in the Fertile Crescent baked large, seasoned breads using grooved husking trays. Analysis of archaeological remains highlights a six-century culinary tradition involving cereal processing and communal meals. A study led by researchers from the UAB and the University La Sapienza in Rome reveals that during the Late Neolithic, between 7000 and 5000 […]

Nuclear theorists uncover the mass distribution within the pion and the proton through groundbreaking first-principle numerical calculations. Scientists use the trace anomaly in spacetime to understand the mass of subatomic particles. This new approach in numerical calculations helps predict mass distribution in particles like protons and pions, supporting experiments at the Electron-Ion Collider which will […]

A new study from the Salk Institute identifies a brain circuit that controls voluntary breathing and emotional regulation, potentially aiding in the development of treatments for anxiety and stress disorders. Although breathing is primarily automatic, we also possess the remarkable ability to self-soothe by slowing down our breathing. Throughout history, people have utilized slow breathing […]

New research at UC Berkeley offers a fresh perspective on Uranus and Neptune’s interiors, indicating layered structures of water and hydrocarbons. These findings account for the planets’ unusual magnetic fields and are supported by simulations showing that extreme conditions lead to hydrogen separation, which stabilizes the layers and inhibits convection. The Mysteries of Uranus and […]
