Orange pigment may help protect cells by turning excess cysteine into inert pigment. The same pigment that gives red hair and orange feathers their color may also help cells manage a chemical problem. Pheomelanin, an orange to red pigment found in human red hair, fair skin, and some bird feathers, is made using the amino […]
The Hidden Health Risk of Sitting for Hours Without a Break
Hours of uninterrupted sitting could be more dangerous than you think. A large study found that every additional hour spent in prolonged, uninterrupted sedentary periods each day was associated with a 9% higher risk of dying from cancer. The findings suggest that how people accumulate sedentary time may matter alongside the total amount. The study, […]
New Smart Material Can Control Heat Like a Computer Chip
Scientists have created a programmable material that gives engineers unprecedented control over heat, with potential applications ranging from energy systems to next-generation photonic memory. Heat normally follows strict rules. A material that efficiently absorbs heat from a particular direction and wavelength will also emit heat the same way. This fundamental principle, known as reciprocity, has […]
