Momenti di paura nel primo pomeriggio al parco divertimenti di Gardaland Resort, per un incendio che è divampato poco prima delle ore 14 nella zona “vecchia” della storica struttura a Castelnuovo del Garda (Verona). Le fiamme si sono sviluppate velocemente nell’area chiamata ‘Far West’, una struttura interamente in legno posta…

Etna, svelato come si propagano le intrusioni magmatiche – Terra e Poli – Ansa.it

L‘integrazione tra osservazioni geologiche di superficie e dati geofisici acquisiti in tempo reale può consentire una ricostruzione più affidabile delle fasi di propagazione e di arresto delle intrusioni magmatiche, migliorando la valutazione degli scenari eruttivi associati alle intrusioni laterali dell’Etna, tra i fenomeni più pericolosi per le comunità che vivono…

Morto Emidio Pepe, mister Montepulciano – Vino – Ansa.it

   E’ morto a 94 anni l’imprenditore vitivinicolo abruzzese Emidio Pepe, fondatore dell’omonima cantina nel 1964 a Torano Nuovo, in provincia di Teramo. “Il mondo del vino perde una delle sue figure più rivoluzionarie, un maestro che ha saputo cambiare per sempre il modo di raccontare e interpretare pilastri dell’enologia…

A slowing Atlantic current could unleash stronger California storms

A major Atlantic Ocean current is slowing, and the consequences could reach far beyond the Atlantic. New research from the University of California, Riverside suggests the change could strengthen powerful storms along the California coast while reducing snowfall over Greenland. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is a vast…

Misfolded insulin may be quietly driving diabetes

Much like paper must be folded into the correct shape to create an origami sculpture, proteins inside cells must form precise three-dimensional structures before they can function properly. As prediabetes advances toward diabetes, this delicate process can begin to break down. Misfolded and defective proteins accumulate inside cells, creating stress…

Hidden charcoal reveals the true age of ancient cave paintings

For the first time, scientists have accurately determined the age of prehistoric paintings inside Font-de-Gaume, a celebrated decorated cave near Les Eyzies in Dordogne (southwestern France). The new findings provide firm dates for two black images, a bison and a masklike figure, and reveal that parts of the artwork were…

Why losing weight may not be enough to prevent type 2 diabetes

Eating a nutritious diet, losing weight, and becoming more physically active can significantly reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, lifestyle changes do not appear to offer the same level of protection to everyone. Researchers report that people assigned to Tübingen’s type 2 diabetes risk cluster 5 continued to…

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft aces Mars flyby capturing stunning timelapse video

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft completed a highly successful flyby of Mars, giving the mission a carefully planned gravitational boost while also producing valuable scientific data. Researchers are now examining those observations as they prepare for the spacecraft’s arrival at the asteroid Psyche in 2029. On May 15, the spacecraft passed Mars…

Scientists create an “electron lighthouse” with laser light

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a semiconductor device that uses laser light to direct the movement of electrons without requiring an applied electric field or electrical power source. The device was primarily designed to investigate fundamental physics and demonstrate a behavior that had never previously been observed.…

Twisted laser light can tell mirror-image molecules apart

Many molecules come in two forms that are mirror images of one another, much like left and right hands. Although these molecular twins can appear nearly identical, they may behave in dramatically different ways, particularly in living systems and medicines. Telling these enantiomers (also called chiral molecules) apart has remained…

Media, attacco ucraino a Mosca con centinaia di droni – Notizie – Ansa.it

Attacco ucraino a Mosca e alla regione circostante con circa centinaia di droni. Lo riferisce l’agenzia ucraina Rbc, secondo la quale è stato colpito anche un centro logistico della Wildberries, l’Amazon russa già presa di mira nei giorni scorsi.     “Dodici droni diretti verso Mosca sono stati abbattuti dal sistema…

Exercise may not help hip arthritis as much as patients expect

Exercise may provide some relief for people with hip osteoarthritis, but the improvements in pain and physical function may be too small for many patients to notice in everyday life, according to a new Cochrane review. The researchers caution that stronger evidence is still needed before firm conclusions can be…

A single sauna session sends immune cells surging

A new Finnish study suggests that spending time in a sauna can temporarily move more white blood cells into the bloodstream. These immune cells help the body detect and respond to pathogens and disease. Researchers found that a 30-minute sauna session increased the number of every type of circulating white…

These insect submariners survive depths that should crush them

Deep-diving insect larvae in an African lake are forcing scientists to reconsider a popular explanation for why insects are almost entirely absent from the open ocean. Their secret is a remarkably durable system of air sacs that can tolerate far more pressure than researchers expected. Billions of lake fly larvae…

Your dreams aren’t random. Your brain is rewriting reality

Why do some dreams feel so vivid that they seem almost real, while others unfold as confusing fragments that are difficult to remember or understand? New research suggests the answer may depend on a combination of personality, sleep quality, mental habits, and major events unfolding in the outside world. A…

Scientists reveal what sparkling water really does to your teeth

Unsweetened sparkling water may be a better option for teeth than sugar-sweetened soda, according to preliminary research comparing how several popular drinks affect acidity in the mouth. Tooth enamel can begin to dissolve when the mouth’s pH falls below about 5.5. The new findings suggest that sparkling water can temporarily…

500,000-year-old elephant bone hammer shows ancient humans were master toolmakers

Archaeologists have identified a prehistoric hammer made from elephant bone that dates back almost 500,000 years. Found in southern England, the object is the oldest known elephant bone tool ever discovered in Europe. Researchers from UCL and the Natural History Museum, London analyzed the rare artifact, which offers a striking…
