Testosterone levels dropping in men can lead to muscle loss, especially in the limbs. But why does this happen? Scientists have been digging into this question. They found that when testosterone levels drop, the body's internal clocks in muscles get messed up. This mess-up is linked to higher levels
Scientists have been playing around with tiny molecules to make better light-based technology. They mixed a special molecule called PDI with another called GMP. This mix created something new with some cool properties. First, they looked at how these molecules fit together. They found that the mix
Plants hold a wealth of information that can greatly benefit agriculture and environmental studies. Details like where they grow, how they grow, and where they are found can be scattered across countless texts. Extracting this data manually is slow and often misses important details. That's where AI
People often feel bad when things don't go as planned. This is especially true when they think about what could have been. But did you know that the emotions people feel depend on whether they followed the rules or broke them? Researchers wanted to find out if regret and disappointment are linked t
Drip irrigation is a big deal in farming. It helps plants get just the right amount of water and nutrients. But checking how much water each tiny emitter gives out can be a lot of work. That's where artificial neural networks (ANNs) come in. These are like super-smart computer programs that can lear
Food scraps can be turned into useful stuff, like vinegar, through a process called acidogenic fermentation. This vinegar, or acetic acid, is great for cleaning up dirty water by helping to remove harmful nitrates. But, the problem is that the amount and type of vinegar produced can change a lot, ma
People from all corners of the globe and throughout time have shared stories of near-death experiences (NDEs). These tales are not all the same. Some are quite different. Yet, many have common threads. This makes people wonder: Do these experiences hint at life after death, or are they just tricks o
Climate change is making our oceans hotter. This is bad news for bivalve mollusks like mussels and clams. They are struggling to cope with these new conditions. Scientists wanted to see how these creatures manage their energy when temperatures rise. They looked at two types: the Mediterranean musse
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, there's a tiny group of islands called the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago. It's a remote spot, but it's a hotspot for big, traveling fish like the yellowfin tuna. Scientists wanted to know if these tunas were born near the islands or if they just stop by
Vimentin, a crucial part of the cell's skeleton, is getting a fast-track makeover. Scientists have developed new tools to swiftly alter vimentin's position within cells, either throughout the entire cytoplasm or in specific areas. These tools use light or drugs to attach vimentin to tiny cellular mo
