Do fruit flies remember their larval lives? To find out, scientists made the neurons inside larvae glow, then tracked how they reshuffled as they formed adult brains.

The notion that some level of microbial exposure might reduce our risk of developing allergies has arisen over the last few decades and has been termed the hygiene hypothesis.

Standing at a crosswalk, the signal changes from "don't walk," to "walk." You might step out into the street straight away, or you might look both ways before you cross.

We can find the staircase in every building, which is common for out daily life and even for our cardiovascular health but we usually look for some advanced gym equipment's and wide park for that. New Study from Tulane University shows that including stair climbing in our daily routines can greatly reduce the risk of heart diseases by as much as 20 percent compared to taking thousands of steps a day. Beyond a Simple Exercise In fact, climbing stairs is not an insipid activity. It’s a combination

The female orca was found far from her normal hunting ground with six whole sea otters in its stomach and one lodged between its oral cavity and the esophagus.

Today. we all live in eras where there is an ocean of convenient appliances, gadgets & household things meant for the sole purpose of making our lives easy. But there can be hidden dangers underneath the charm of such mundane objects. There’s nothing surprising about some of these types of risks — while others might lurk in the shadows. In this blog post, I am going to talk about some of the everyday used household items that are hurting our health, silently. 1. Plastic Containers and Bottles Pl

Recordings show prolonged activity in the visual cortex when looking at images, outlasting conscious awareness of image. More than a quarter of all stroke victims develop a bizarre disorder — they lose conscious awareness of half of all that their eyes perceive.

Oral contraceptives, the ever-reliable soldiers in the fight against unwanted pregnancies, find themselves ensnared in a web of discussions and debates regarding their potential link to depression, particularly among adolescents and women in their initial stages of use. We plunge into this discourse, unwrapping findings, revealing paradoxes, and seeking answers. A study in Epidemiology and Psychiatric Sciences has brought to light that the initial two years of using oral contraceptives might hav

Parkinson’s disease, renowned for its debilitating effects on movement, has always been intrinsically linked to the diminishment of dopamine, a chemical imperative for motor functions. However, a groundbreaking study by the University of Montreal divulges surprising revelations about the resilience of brain’s movement circuits even with a conspicuous deficiency in dopamine during the asymptomatic phases of Parkinson’s. This groundbreaking research, led by esteemed neuroscientist Louis-Éric Trude

Scientists in China have developed a method to produce spider silk from genetically modified silkworms, offering a strong, sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers with applications in various industries. Researchers have synthesized spider silk from genetically modified silkworms, producing f

To whom it may concern.

Researchers now hope to use the environmental engineering success to combat climate change.

Depression is not a gentle opponent, yet, forward-thinking studies and fresh advancements in technology have shed light on the way to triumph over this disease. In a new research study, there’s some positive news for the millions grappling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) is beginning to show remarkable progress which seems to offer a ray of hope for the people who are suffering from debilitating Tourette’s syndrome. DBS, still an early stage trial, is a pr

Scientists have created a power generator that uses atmospheric humidity and polyoxometalates to produce continuous electricity, offering a sustainable way to utilize low-value energy.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Some tumors are extremely small and hide deep within lung tissue, making it difficult for surgeons to reach them. To address this challenge, UNC –Chapel Hill and Vanderbilt University researchers have been working on an extremely bendy but sturdy robot capable of traversing lung tissue.

Researchers publicly call out theory that they say is not well supported by science, but that gets undue attention.

A letter, signed by 124 scholars and posted online last week1, has caused an uproar in the consciousness research community. It claims that a prominent theory describing what makes someone or something conscious — called the integrated information theory (IIT) — should be labelled “pseudoscience”. Since its publication on 15 September in the preprint repository PsyArXiv, the letter has some researchers arguing over the label and others worried it will increase polarization in a field that has grappled with issues of credibility in the past.

Ancient timber preserved in a riverbed suggests humans were building wooden structures 500,000 years ago.

For a phenomenon that is so deeply engrained in the public consciousness, the scientific evidence regarding what has been called "beer goggles" is surprisingly inconsistent. The term refers to finding people more attractive after drinking alcohol, and there is a wealth of scientific evidence both for and against its existence.

Paleontologists at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland have discovered X-ray evidence of proteins in fossil feathers that sheds new light on feather evolution.

this is driving me pretty mad, i've got hygrometers, digital and analog all reading wildly different percentages, and would like to calibrate them, read up on the salt test, where you take salt make it damp stick it in a plastic bag and after +8 hrs the internal humidity of the bag should be exactly 75%. for anyone that's familiar with calibrating hygrometers, should 2 TBSP table salt plus 1/2 TBSP water in a small monkey dish, in a gallon bag work? or is it too much water for the salt, too big of a bag, too much or too little time. did the test overnight on 4 different hygrometers for 12 hours, took them out of the bag, and now after 30 minutes to equalize to room temp, are not only once again wildly off, but the lowest is reading what I would imagine to be 10 percentage points of how humid the room "feels". maddening. thanks.

Researchers inoculated rapeseed plants with a species of fungus that is known for its ability to combat pest insects. Utilizing the relationship between beneficial fungi and crop plants may introduce a new era of agriculture where the plant resilience is improved and the ecological footprint of trad
