You know how families and babies live at birth matter? Well, a study dug into how these early life factors can affect kids heart health, diet and physical activity. This was about kids at ages 8, 9 and 10 years old, before puberty. The study wanted to check out if things like economic status, fami
First things first, examine the power of tiny particles that conduct electricity. Inside this world, we have three different types of counter ions: bromide (Br) tetrafluoroborate (BF-4 ). These aren't just any ions—they differ from one another, leading to significant changes in how these materials b
First, let's talk about the brain. It's like a super-computer running our body. Modern science has given us powerful tools to peer into the brain's workings, especially when it comes to how drugs hijack the brain and keep it in a state of addiction. Scientists now understand that each perso
Billions of years ago, a massive asteroid crash landed on Earth's moon. The asteroid tore two gigantic channels into the lunar surface. These massive chasms were created in a area on the back side of the moon. The asteroid measured about 15 miles across and blasted its way through the moon's cr
Imagine you have a fancy rechargeable battery but it keeps losing power too quickly. You might then figure out that Li-S batteries have an annoying problem: When lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) are created, they can cause a so-called "shuttle effect. " This effect makes the battery lose energy faster,
Imagine you're playing a game with a friend. You can choose to play nice or be a bit selfish. What if you could pick your friend and leave them if their behavior isn't up to your standards? This changes the game! In traditional models, players are stuck with their partners, whether they're reliable
What drives our decisions? Our food and drink picks, the views we share, and the beliefs we hold are not just random. They're shaped by who we are and what's around us. Think about it: why do people who love the same political team also love the same foods? It's because their choices are not just ab
In the wide-open skies of west Texas, Blue Origin is gearing up for a big day. Tuesday morning, they're launching a New Shepard rocket. This isn't just another trip to space; it's a chance to test out some cool moon-related tech. It is a big step for the company. The mission is all about science. T
Cambridge University's very own Sarah Bray leads the way in developmental biology and neuroscience. Right now, she's the brain behind the scenes of Britain's Technical Science Organization. At the age of 35, Sarah started working with different biological research organizations and has never looked
Humans have long practiced breath control, like alternate nostril breathing. This is an ancient technique from yogic traditions. It has been thought to control brain activity and bodily functions. The brain's left and right sides can have different roles, so scientists wanted to see if breathing thr
