Research suggests that when adults exercise might matter as much as how much they move. A recent study tracked nearly 800 people using wrist devices for a week, measuring not just their activity levels but also when they were most active. Those who hit their peak movement earlier in the day had stro
Back in the mid-2000s, a TV show mocked Hollywood’s obsession with fading stars desperate for attention. The joke landed hard—until real life started copying the script too closely. By the time the show returned years later, the punchline didn’t feel funny anymore. It felt like watching someone trip
A new bill in Colorado wants businesses to stop using sneaky tricks to charge different prices to different customers. House Bill 1210 would block companies from using personal data to set personalized prices on everything from groceries to ride-shares. Last year, a similar bill aimed at stopping re
In the United States, mental health care today follows rules that seem more about spreadsheets than people. Treatment isn’t just guided by doctors anymore—it’s steered by efficiency numbers, quick fixes, and cost cuts. When care becomes a service, the human side can disappear fast. Patients aren’t j
Colorado lawmakers are trying to stop companies from spying on shoppers just to charge more. A proposed bill, HB 1210, would ban the use of algorithms that adjust prices for groceries, hotels, and other goods based on personal data. The idea is to prevent stores from charging one person more because
The body’s internal clock can change how we react to food. A new study shows that eating fried oil at the wrong time of day can damage kidneys. Mice that ate oxidised frying oil whenever they wanted had trouble turning certain harmful molecules, called epoxides, into safer ones, called diols. Thi
Flies, like many creatures, have internal clocks that help them stay on schedule. These clocks control when they sleep, eat, and do other important things. But not all flies stick to the clock perfectly. Some are more flexible, and this flexibility might help them survive when things get tough. One
People who go to bed around 9 p. m. tend to be more active during the day. A study with 20, 000 participants showed that these early sleepers move more than those who stay up late. This is because their sleep aligns with their body's natural rhythm, giving them more energy. When people ignore their
Our bodies have an internal clock. It's like a tiny timekeeper inside us. This clock helps control many things. It tells us when to sleep and when to wake up. It also affects how our body works. This is called the circadian rhythm. When this rhythm gets messed up, it can cause problems. Things like
The building industry is going green, and recycled cement mortar (RCM) is getting attention. It's eco-friendly, but how strong is it? That's where smart tech comes in. Scientists used artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict the strength of RCM. They added some smart algorithms to make the ANNs
