“Dal punto di vista della Commissione, riteniamo che gli Stati membri siano nella posizione migliore per adottare misure sulla tassazione degli extraprofitti delle aziende energetiche”. Lo ha detto il commissario europeo all’Economia Valdis Dombrovskis, rispondendo a una domanda sull’eventuale presentazione di una proposta legislativa europea e sui relativi tempi. “Abbiamo…

Only one workout helped older adults lose fat and keep muscle

Losing body fat is one thing. Losing fat while keeping the muscle that helps you stay strong and active is another, especially as you get older. Research suggests that one particular type of exercise may have an advantage when it comes to achieving both goals. High-intensity interval training (HIIT), which…

Scientists find hidden materials that could improve batteries and solar fuels

Researchers have uncovered previously unknown materials by closely following what happens as molecular precursors break apart and transform during heating. Among the discoveries is a new form of a well-studied clean energy material. The research, published in Nature Communications, focuses on intermediate phases that appear while molecules are being converted…

Bacteria turn a virus’ own weapon against it

Scientists searching for new ways to treat bacterial infections are increasingly turning to viruses known as bacteriophages (phages). These viruses specifically target bacteria, allowing them to kill harmful microbes without damaging human cells. They can also attack bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics. Phage therapy, however, faces a major…

A 9-billion-year-old signal could help explain dark energy

For the first time, the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) has demonstrated that it can detect the extremely faint radio glow of hydrogen gas from the distant universe using only its own observations. The result could give scientists a faster and less costly way to investigate dark energy, the…

A quantum prediction from 1931 just came to life

Nearly a century after Nobel laureate Hans Bethe predicted their existence, scientists have created and observed unusual quantum structures known as “Bethe strings” using ultracold atoms. The experiment, led by quantum physicist Hanns-Christoph Nägerl, provides researchers with a highly controllable way to explore these unusual quantum many-body states. In 1931,…

NASA astronauts splash down after 100 million miles in space

After spending more than seven months aboard the International Space Station, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 astronauts have safely returned to Earth. Their spacecraft splashed down Thursday in the Pacific Ocean near Los Angeles, bringing an extraordinary mission to a close. The four astronauts spent 237 days in orbit, traveled more than…

October’s night sky is full of cosmic tricks and treats

October is bringing a spectacular lineup of celestial events, including a disappearing planet, two meteor showers, and a bright full Moon just in time for Halloween. As autumn days grow shorter and darkness arrives earlier, the night sky offers more opportunities to witness some remarkable astronomical sights. NASA has highlighted…

Nearly 30,000 people tested quit-smoking methods. One stood out

An updated Cochrane review has found that nicotine e-cigarettes may help more people stop smoking than several commonly used approaches, including nicotine gum, nicotine patches, behavioral support, or trying to quit without assistance. Smoking remains the world’s leading cause of preventable disease and death. According to the World Health Organization…

Scientists tested 5 natural compounds on cancer cells. One stood out

Curcumin, berberine, and several other plant-derived substances have drawn attention from scientists because of their potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. New research from Wroclaw Medical University and the University of Wroclaw suggests, however, that these compounds can behave very differently. A substance that appears powerful against cancer cells may not…

Raid russo sui bus fa strage a Kramatorsk, almeno 33 morti – Notizie – Ansa.it

I cadaveri semicarbonizzati, ancora avviluppati dalle fiamme sull’asfalto della strada, tutt’intorno detriti e devastazione, le reti anti-drone sventrate, un minibus mangiato dall’incendio fino a trasformarsi in uno scheletro di ferro fuso. E’ l’agghiacciante sequenza dell’ultimo massacro in Ucraina: a Kramatorsk un missile russo ha centrato un minibus zeppo di passeggeri,…
