The week in science: UK fishermen are reporting a massive octopus bloom in the waters off southwest England. Researchers found a massive fossilized pearl in the Australian outback, the largest ever found in the country. Read More
Chocolate’s irresistible taste may soon become more consistent and even more delicious thanks to a breakthrough in fermentation science. Much like beer and cheese were revolutionized by controlled fermentation, chocolate may now be on Read More
Monsoon changes accelerate glacier loss across High Mountain Asia, study
Glaciers across High Mountain Asia are losing more than 22 gigatons of ice per year—the equivalent to nearly 9 million Olympic swimming pools, according to research from the University of Utah and Virginia Tech. The impact Read More
Dementia-Like Behavior Discovered in Pre-Cancerous Cells – New Study/Science Updates
Scientists have found that precancerous pancreas cells may behave like dementia-affected brain cells, forming toxic protein clumps when their recycling system falters. Scientists have identified dementia-like activity in pancreatic cells that are at risk of Read More
Obesity-Associated Asthma Has a Dietary Source – New Study/Science Updates
Saturated fatty acids directly activated innate immune cells in the lung, leading to inflammatory responses. Summary Saturated fatty acids (SFAs) trigger lung inflammation by directly activating innate immune cells. This activation initiates inflammatory responses within Read More
Discovery of Planckian time limit offers new opportunities for quantum technologies. A collaborative team of researchers in Japan has identified “heavy fermions”—electrons with greatly increased effective mass—that display quantum entanglement controlled by Planckian Read More
Mitochondria are cellular organelles that play an important role in making ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecular fuel that powers most cellular functions. These organelles originated over a billion years ago when a primitive archaeal cell Read More
Immune changes occur in the gut of an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model. A high fiber diet can alleviate these and other disease related symptoms. Summary Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in a mouse model Read More
Some might say it looks like a finger. Others might see a worm. Scientists in the field often liken it to an antenna. The technical name is primary cilium. This slender, microscopic appendage juts out Read More
