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 Surprising Cellular Benefit of the Pigment Behind Red Hair
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 […]
