It looks like Qualcomm is teaming up with TSMC for their upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 and Gen 3 chips. TSMC is leading the game in semiconductors, leaving others like Samsung behind. This means Qualcomm might not have any other choice but to stick with TSMC. The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 is expe
Allergies have become quite common these days. Doctors think this is because of a mix of our genes, how we live, and what's in our environment. One important way to treat allergies is called Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy, or AIT for short. This method can actually change how your body deals with a
Composting is a smart way to recycle waste, but it often loses nitrogen, which is bad for the process. Biofiltration, a new method, can catch and change gaseous emissions into something useful. A recent study looked into how well a system that combines composting and biofiltration could keep nitroge
Did you know that our bodies produce tiny molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS) during normal oxygen metabolism? These molecules can act as messengers, influencing various processes in the body. However, when there are too many ROS, they can cause big problems, especially in the brain and n
Four years back, Jay Bhattacharya was shunned by colleagues at Stanford and silenced on social media for his views on the pandemic. He's come a long way since then. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated him to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH). If approved, this could be a big win fo
You know how hydrogen power needs a quick oxygen reaction? That's where the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) comes in, and it's usually not fast enough. Scientists have come up with a clever trick: they mixed titanium into ruthenium oxide (RuO2). This combination creates "bridged oxygen" sites that a
Imagine if doctors could really understand what's happening deep inside our bones, not just see the overall shape. That's what Raman spectroscopy might help achieve, especially for the collagen part of our bones. The NHS spends a lot of money treating bone issues like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis
Ever thought about 'snowflaking'? It's not fun and games. It's about dating someone who's only there for the holidays, then dumps you once the season ends. This isn't cool – it's just mean. A dating app expert recently warned about this trend. Surprisingly, some people plan to break up before the fe
Did you know that tiny organisms called protists can play a big role in making the soil healthier? Scientists decided to see how these microscopic creatures affect soil when it's polluted with a heavy metal called cadmium. They focused on one type of protist called Colpoda steinii. Soil naturally h
Food allergies are tricky because they can strike in unexpected ways. This study, involving multiple centers, aimed to understand the connection between how much allergenic food is consumed and the severity of reactions in real-life situations. The researchers found that the amount of food isn't the
