John Prescott, a former UK Deputy Prime Minister, has passed away at the age of 86. His family shared that he devoted his life to enhancing others' lives, advocating for social justice, and protecting the environment. Prescott, who battled Alzheimer's disease, died peacefully in a care home on Wedne
Ever pondered how we can predict what others might do? Well, it turns out our brains aren't just good at making one guess. Nope, they create multiple possibilities and then rank them based on how likely they seem. This helps us deal with uncertain situations. Picture this: you're playing a game, and
The study of interacting topological phases has always been intriguing, with one notable example being the composite Fermi liquid, which forms in strong magnetic fields. Recently, scientists have predicted that a similar phenomenon, the zero-field composite Fermi liquid, could occur in a twisted MoT
Imagine using light to transform everyday chemicals into something extraordinary! Scientists have found a clever way to do just that. They're using visible light to change common compounds called 1, 3-enynes into allenes. This process, called photoredox catalysis, is like a magic trick in the lab. I
Imagine trying to see the face of a single flash of light. That's what scientists from the University of Birmingham in the UK have practically done. They've created a clever computer model to understand how light and matter interact. Light, as we know, acts like both a wave and a particle. Understan
Ever wondered why some people's skin gets itchy and red when they sweat? It's not just about being sensitive. There's a condition called atopic dermatitis, often called eczema, that's behind this. People with this allergic skin disorder can get flare-ups when they sweat. But what's the deal with sal
Ever wondered what makes some people happier than others? It’s not just about how we are born or where we grow up. Scientists are diving deeper to figure out how relationships, loneliness, and trust add up to happiness, and if our genes or surroundings have a say in it. Interestingly, many studies m
Remedy Entertainment just dropped a bombshell at their Capital Markets Day event. Their upcoming game, Control 2, is set to be the studio's first-ever action RPG. This is a big deal because Remedy has mostly stuck to action games, like Max Payne and Alan Wake 2. Sure, they've dabbled with weapon upg
Ever wondered how tiny charged molecules like peptides can make a big difference? Scientists took a close look at how peptides with different charges—neutral (T0), negative (T8-), and positive (T9+)—affect α-amylase, an enzyme used in various industries. Using advanced techniques like protein electr
Have you ever thought about how bacteria can help plants soak up more nutrients? Scientists have been exploring this, especially with selenium, a vital mineral. They've found that Bacillus cereus SESY, a type of good bacteria, can significantly boost the growth and selenium content in Brassica napus
