Scientists uncover cancer-causing chemicals hidden in everyday foods

More people are paying close attention to what they eat, often tracking calories, exercising daily, and filling their plates with foods that seem naturally healthy, including fruits and vegetables. Yet even nutritious foods can carry hidden chemical concerns. Some contaminants can enter food from the environment, while others can form…

Surprising study finds beef doesn’t worsen blood sugar or diabetes risk

More than 135 million adults in the United States either have type 2 diabetes (T2D) or face an elevated risk of developing the condition, increasing the demand for reliable nutrition guidance backed by scientific research. A newly published randomized controlled trial (RCT) found that eating 6 to 7 ounces of…

Scientists discover a strange hidden state in “sandwich” molecules

Since their discovery in the 1950s, metallocenes have played a major role in organometallic chemistry. These compounds feature a metal atom positioned between two carbon rings, giving them a distinctive “sandwich” structure. Over the decades, scientists have explored their use in catalysts, advanced materials, energy technologies, sensors, and drug delivery…

Einstein’s “wormhole” may actually reveal a hidden mirror of time

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time — shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a misunderstanding of work by physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen. In 1935, while studying the behavior of particles in regions of extreme gravity, Einstein and Rosen introduced what they…

Le salme dei quattro sub morti alle Maldive attese domani a Malpensa – Notizie – Ansa.it

Dovrebbero arrivare domani intorno alle 13, all’aeroporto di Malpensa su un volo Turkish Airlines, le salme di Monica Montefalcone, docente dell’Università di Genova, della figlia Giorgia Sommacal, della ricercatrice di Unige Muriel Oddenino e di Federico Gualtieri, laureato di recente all’ateneo genovese. Dopodiché sarà disposta l’autopsia sui corpi dei quattro…

Scientists discover simple way to relieve arthritis pain without pills or surgery

Nearly one in four adults over 40 lives with painful osteoarthritis, a condition that can make everyday movement difficult and is one of the major causes of adult disability. The disease gradually wears down the cartilage that cushions joints. Once that damage occurs, doctors currently cannot reverse it. Treatment usually…

Mostre, convegni e cortei nella giornata della memoria per Falcone – Notizie – Ansa.it

Mostre, manifestazioni al palazzo di giustizia di Palermo, l’inaugurazione del museo del Presente con la partecipazione di esponenti istituzionali, tornei di calcio e il tradizionale appuntamento sotto l’Albero Falcone: sono solo alcuni degli appuntamenti organizzati per il 34esimo anniversario della strage di Capaci, l’attentato nel quale morirono i magistrati Giovanni…

Ancient chemistry trick unlocks new type of glass that traps CO2 and hydrogen

Scientists have adapted a chemistry technique used in traditional glassmaking to improve a futuristic material known as metal-organic framework (MOF) glass. These materials are made from metal atoms connected by organic molecules and are valued for their ability to trap gases such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and even capture…

Ancient asteroid craters may have sparked Earth’s oxygen-producing life

A team of researchers in South Korea has uncovered evidence that could shed new light on how Earth’s atmosphere first became rich in oxygen, one of the most important turning points in the planet’s history. Scientists from the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) discovered stromatolites, layered rock…
