The idea of losing teeth being connected to an increased risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular events may seem surprising at first glance. However, recent analysis has suggested that there is indeed a correlation between missing teeth and cardiovascular diseases. The relationship between poor oral health and cardiovascular diseases has long
In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have successfully recovered the first long section of rocks from the Earth’s mantle, bringing insights into the mysteries of our planet’s origins. This significant discovery was made during Expedition 399 “Building Blocks of Life, Atlantis Massif” of the ocean drilling vessel JOIDES Resolution in Spring 2023. The recovered 1,268 meters
The isotopic composition of carbon found in iron formations within the Saglek-Hebron Complex has long been considered as evidence of early life on Earth. However, a recent study conducted by the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, and University College London challenges this interpretation. The researchers suggest that the petrographic, geochemical, and spectroscopic features of the
The Tokyo Olympics in 2020 saw the addition of seven new sports, including karate and climbing, which brought a breath of fresh air to the prestigious event. However, with the introduction of new sports also came a new set of challenges regarding athlete injuries. Research conducted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) shed light on
Pancreatic cancer is known to be one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of cancer, primarily due to late-stage diagnoses. Current diagnostic markers lack the sensitivity and specificity needed for early detection screenings, contributing to the high mortality rate associated with this disease. However, a recent study published in the journal Angewandte Chemie presents
Imagine a world where a small robot equipped with advanced sensors and algorithms can ensure the safety of children crossing the street. Meet the CrossBot, a prototype created by Hovannes Kulhandjian, an associate professor in electrical and computer engineering at Fresno State. This innovative device has the ability to protect kids in crosswalks and potentially
When people envision Olympic athletes, they typically focus on the idea of winning and success. However, the road to an Olympic medal is filled with unpredictability and often leads to disappointment for the majority of competitors. The key to success lies in dedicated training for speed and strength, combined with mastery of technique. These training
Climate change continues to be a pressing issue that affects every corner of the globe. Understanding the factors that contribute to this phenomenon is crucial in developing effective strategies to mitigate its effects. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey have conducted a study on the impact of biomass burning on
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are a major concern when it comes to climate change and global warming. Researchers at the University of Liverpool have made significant progress in addressing this issue through the development of a pioneering plasma-catalytic process for the conversion of CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals. This breakthrough offers a sustainable solution
In a recent study published in the journal Chem, researchers at Dartmouth and Southern Methodist University introduced a groundbreaking technique that allows for the creation of three-dimensional projections of medical scans. This innovative technology involves using a specialized light projector to imprint images inside polymers that contain a photosensitive chemical additive, which can be erased
Dr. Jin Gu, Kang and his team at the Nanophotonics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have made a remarkable breakthrough in the realm of cooling technology. They have successfully developed a groundbreaking colorful radiation-cooling liquid crystal material that is capable of cooling without any external power source, all while
The field of chemistry has seen significant advancements in recent years thanks to the collaboration between chemists and computer scientists. One such development is the creation of an AI application by a trio of chemists at the University of Copenhagen. Their application, named PhAI, aims to predict the structure of small molecules by analyzing the
As the popularity of cannabis products continues to grow, a lesser-known compound called cannabigerol (CBG) is starting to make waves in the industry. While CBD has been the star of the show for its potential therapeutic benefits, CBG is now being hailed as the “mother of all cannabinoids” due to its ability to metabolize into
Our vision of establishing long-term human colonies on Mars is not without its challenges. The harsh climate conditions on the Red Planet make survival a daunting task, with temperatures plummeting to a bone-chilling -64 degrees Celsius. However, recent breakthrough research led by electrical engineer Samaneh Ansari of Northwestern University offers a promising solution. By releasing
Nature has always provided scientists with valuable insight into understanding and addressing some of humanity’s most challenging issues. One of the critical issues faced by the world today is global warming, and scientists are turning to Earth’s geological history to gain a long-term perspective on the matter. Throughout Earth’s history, there have been periods marked
