Ever wondered how your diet might impact your genetic predisposition to obesity? Scientists in the CARTaGENE cohort asked the same question and decided to explore the relationship between the Planetary Health Diet and obesity-related genes. This diet, recommended by the EAT-Lancet Commission, is des
Imagine a world where antibiotics can't keep up with the bugs they're designed to fight. That's the challenge posed by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPEs), a group of multidrug-resistant pathogens that are becoming increasingly hard to treat. These bacteria have plasmids, which are like
Business travelers are big players in the aviation industry's carbon emissions, especially in the U. S. where they account for around 10% of total emissions. While commercial jets are the larger culprit, business travelers using scheduled flights or private jets need greener options. The Global Busi
Today, some famous people are celebrating their birthdays. Among them are Colin Morgan, Eden Riegel, Morris Chestnut, and Frank Langella. Happy Birthday to all! If you want to make a difference, look for unique and innovative ways to contribute to a cause. Surround yourself with people who think out
In a surprising move, North Carolina's outgoing governor, Roy Cooper, made a significant change in 15 death row inmates' sentences. Instead of facing execution, these inmates will now spend the rest of their lives in prison without parole. This decision came after Cooper reviewed each case with care
In the heart of Los Angeles, a curious collision occurred on December 27. A self-driving robotaxi from Waymo and a sidewalk delivery bot from Serve Robotics unexpectedly met at an intersection in West Hollywood. A video posted online shows the Serve bot trying to cross the street and make its way on
Have you ever wondered how some sea creatures light up the dark ocean? Let's talk about the European brittle star, which has a unique trick up its sleeve—or rather, at the tips of its arms. These arms glow a soft blue, but how do they manage that? The answer is a chemical called coelenterazine. Here
Did you know that European pond turtles (Emys orbicularis) are under threat? These long-living turtles aren't having much luck with their babies due to high predation. Scientists decided to study how different habitats and predators in near-natural marshes around Lake Balaton in Hungary impact turtl
Think about the humble stationary bike. It's been around for ages in rehab centers. But these days, they're getting smarter thanks to tech like AI and robotics. This shift brings up a big question: are these clever cycles really upping the game for patients? Doctors and experts dug deep into this to
Traffic forecasting on freeways has long relied on deep learning models, especially graph neural networks that blend graph theory with deep learning. These models are great at learning complex time and space patterns. However, traditional graph convolutional networks (GCNs) sometimes struggle with l
