Your sleep schedule could be making you sick, says massive new study

A groundbreaking international study, recently published in Health Data Science, analyzed objective sleep data from 88,461 adults in the UK Biobank and found significant associations between sleep traits and 172 diseases. The research, led by teams from Peking University and Army Medical University, highlights sleep regularity — such as bedtime…

400-million-year-old fish exposes big mistake in how we understood evolution

The coelacanth is known as a “living fossil” because its anatomy has changed little in the last 65 million years. Despite being one of the most studied fish in history, it continues to reveal new information that could transform our understanding of vertebrate evolution. This is revealed in a study…

Clockwork from scratch: How scientists made timekeeping cells

A team of UC Merced researchers has shown that tiny artificial cells can accurately keep time, mimicking the daily rhythms found in living organisms. Their findings shed light on how biological clocks stay on schedule despite the inherent molecular noise inside cells. The study, recently published in Nature Communications, was…

Building electronics that don’t die: Columbia's breakthrough at CERN

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is tough on electronics. Situated inside a 17-mile-long tunnel that runs in a circle under the border between Switzerland and France, this massive scientific instrument accelerates particles close to the speed of light before smashing them together. The collisions yield tiny maelstroms of particles and…

Digital twins are reinventing clean energy — but there’s a catch

As the world grapples with the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, researchers at the University of Sharjah are turning to a cutting-edge technology that could reshape the future of energy: AI-powered digital twins. According to the researchers, these digital replicas of the physical world have…

This spectrometer is smaller than a pixel, and it sees what we can’t

Researchers have successfully demonstrated a spectrometer that is orders of magnitude smaller than current technologies and can accurately measure wavelengths of light from ultraviolet to the near-infrared. The technology makes it possible to create hand-held spectroscopy devices and holds promise for the development of devices that incorporate an array of…

Gli uomini stregati dall’odore delle donne nel periodo fertile – Biotech – Ansa.it

L‘odore del corpo femminile cambia durante il periodo fertile dell’ovulazione e influisce in maniera misurabile sul comportamento degli uomini, che si sentono più attratti e rilassati: lo indica lo studio dell’Università di Tokyo pubblicato sulla rivista iScience. Sebbene i risultati non provino ancora l’esistenza dei feromoni negli esseri umani, suggeriscono…

Walk faster, live longer: How just 15 minutes a day can boost lifespan

Regular walking is widely recognized for its significant benefits to overall health and well-being. Previous research has primarily focused on middle-to-high-income White populations. Now, a novel analysis using data from the Southern Community Cohort Study, involving 79,856 predominantly low-income and Black individuals across 12 southeastern US states, confirms the benefits…

This gut hormone could explain 40% of IBS-D cases—and lead to a cure

High levels of a hormone found in cells in the gut could underlie many cases of chronic diarrhea and help explain up to 40% of cases of patients with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, according to a new study led by scientists at the University of Cambridge. The research, published…

Did humans learn to walk in trees?

It’s hard to tell when — and why — our ancestors got down from trees and started walking on two legs. Many early hominins capable of bipedal walking were also well-adapted for climbing, and we lack fossil evidence from a key period when climate change turned forests into open, dry…
