A startling omega-3 deficiency may explain women’s Alzheimer’s risk

Omega fatty acids could protect against Alzheimer’s disease in women, new research has found. Analysis of lipids – fat molecules that perform many essential functions in the body – in the blood found there was a noticeable loss of unsaturated fats, such as those that contain omega fatty acids, in…

Onu: ‘A Gaza è carestia, a rischio 132.000 bimbi’ – Notizie – Ansa.it

La carestia a Gaza è “interamente provocata dall’uomo” e le vite di 132.000 bimbi sotto i cinque anni sono a rischio a causa della malnutrizione. È quanto si legge nel rapporto dell’Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (Ipc), sistema globale di monitoraggio della fame sostenuto dall’Onu, che ha dichiarato ufficialmente lo…

Mysterious “little red dots” could reveal how the first black holes formed

Astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian have proposed a new explanation for some of the universe’s most puzzling early galaxies, nicknamed “little red dots.” In the study, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Authors Fabio Pacucci and Abraham (Avi) Loeb suggest that these galaxies are the…

A star torn apart by a black hole lit up the Universe twice

Astronomers used a UC Santa Cruz-led AI system to detect a rare supernova, SN 2023zkd, within hours of its explosion, allowing rapid follow-up observations before the fleeting event faded. Evidence suggests the blast was triggered by a massive star’s catastrophic encounter with a black hole companion, either partially swallowing the…

Ozone recovery could trigger 40% more global warming than predicted

The world will warm more than expected due to future changes in ozone, which protects Earth from harmful sun rays but also traps heat as it is a greenhouse gas. While banning ozone-destroying gases such as CFCs has helped the ozone layer to recover, when combined with increased air pollution…

Scientists just cracked the quantum code hidden in a single atom

To build a large-scale quantum computer that works, scientists and engineers need to overcome the spontaneous errors that quantum bits, or qubits, create as they operate. Scientists encode these building blocks of quantum information to suppress errors in other qubits so that a minority can operate in a way that…

Why some people age faster. And the 400 genes behind it

It’s a fact of life: Some people age better than others. Some ease into their 90s with mind and body intact, while others battle diabetes, Alzheimer’s or mobility issues decades earlier. Some can withstand a bad fall or bout of the flu with ease, while others never leave the hospital…

Scientists discover crystal that breathes oxygen like lungs

A team of scientists from Korea and Japan has discovered a new type of crystal that can “breathe” — releasing and absorbing oxygen repeatedly at relatively low temperatures. This unique ability could transform the way we develop clean energy technologies, including fuel cells, energy-saving windows, and smart thermal devices. The…

Ancient fossil discovery in Ethiopia rewrites human origins

A team of international scientists has discovered new fossils at a field site in Africa that indicate Australopithecus, and the oldest specimens of Homo, coexisted at the same place in Africa at the same time — between 2.6 and 2.8 million years ago. The paleoanthropologists discovered a new species of…
