Eating more potassium-rich foods like bananas and broccoli may lower blood pressure better than just cutting salt. Potassium helps counter sodium’s effects and supports heart health, making it an important part of a balanced diet. Increasing potassium intake can help regulate blood pressure, as shown in the study. The study also found that men are […]

Scientists have identified a magma cap beneath Yellowstone National Park, located about 2.4 miles (3.8 km) below the surface. This cap acts as a pressure-regulating layer, preventing magma from rising too quickly and reducing the likelihood of an eruption. The cap consists of molten silicate materials, supercritical water, and porous rock, which trap heat and […]

NASA’s Curiosity rover has detected the largest organic molecules ever found on Mars—decane, undecane, and dodecane. These hydrocarbons, believed to be fragments of fatty acids, suggest that Mars’ organic chemistry may have been more complex than previously thought. The findings support the possibility that ancient Mars had the right conditions for life. Scientists emphasize the […]

Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science developed a new catalyst called bis(diimino)palladium coordination nanosheets (PdDI). These low-cost palladium-based nanosheets perform as well as platinum in producing hydrogen. Created using a simple synthesis process with minimal precious metals, the nanosheets reduce metal usage and lower hydrogen production costs.

Researchers from Bournemouth University discovered early evidence of transport technology used by settlers in the USA over 20,000 years ago at White Sands National Park, New Mexico. They found drag marks from makeshift vehicles called “travois,” made from wooden poles, alongside ancient human footprints. The tracks included single lines, likely from dragging two poles joined […]

A study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden found that breathing influences pupil size. The pupil is smallest during inhalation and largest during exhalation. This effect is always present and doesn’t require external stimuli. Breathing’s impact on brain activity and cognitive functions suggests this could help regulate vision and attention.

Researchers at MIT have tackled a perplexing issue in spatial prediction validation, which is critical for fields like weather forecasting and environmental health. Traditional validation methods often fail because they don’t account for the unique characteristics of spatial data, leading to inaccurate forecasts. The research will be presented at the International Artificial Intelligence and Statistics […]

Researchers at Monash University found that losing a spouse causes one to feel more lonely and isolated despite support. Based on data taken from nearly 750 people who had lost their spouses, they found that loneliness and grief affected both genders similarly, with no significant differences based on wealth or health status.

A collaboration between amateur and professional astronomers has led to a major discovery about Jupiter’s clouds, challenging a long-standing belief. Thanks to amateur astronomer Dr. Steven Hill, it’s now found that the clouds are not made of ammonia ice, but rather a mix of ammonium hydrosulphide and smog.

In the cell membrane, TRPM8 acts as a receptor for cold, enabling humans to sense cold. Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat have developed a photoswitchable TRPM8 channel activator based on the natural cooling agent menthol. This molecule called azo-menthol precisely controls TRPM8 channels using light. Azo-menthol can be switched ON and OFF with the precision of light.
