Ever wondered why certain bike crashes happen so often on UK roads? Let's dive into three common types: overtaking, rear-end, and door crashes. Research has mostly focused on intersection crashes, but what about those that happen on road segments? This study aims to shed light on the risk factors fo
Volcano Bay, the popular water park at Universal Orlando Resort, will keep its gates shut on Saturday, January 4. The reason? It's simply too cold! After already being closed for two days, the park will remain off-limits because of chilly temperatures expected in Central Florida. The Twitter accoun
Big tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are investing in nuclear energy to reduce their carbon footprint. The U. S. government is supporting this with funding for small modular reactors. Environmental groups are still concerned about safety and waste disposal. The U. S. Department of
Ever wondered why muscles get tired faster as we age? It's not just about lack of exercise. Scientists are diving deep into the tiny structures within our muscles, called myofibrils, to understand this age-related fatigue. These myofibrils are like the powerhouses of our muscles, responsible for con
Did you know that as we age, our muscles begin to shrink? This issue is even bigger for those with type 2 diabetes. Scientists wanted to find out if eating more protein could help. They did a small study with middle-aged and older folks with type 2 diabetes. They looked at whether more protein could
When young mice are exposed to super-fine dust particles known as PM2. 5, they might deal with long-term muscle troubles. These particles can slow down muscle development and harm mitochondria, which are the energy factories inside our cells. Interestingly, the effects aren't equal between genders.
Skeletal muscle dysfunction (SMD) is a serious problem for folks with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It affects how well they get better and live their lives. Mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, play a big role in this. They keep their networks in check through something called mi
In a surprising turn of events, both General Motors (GM) and Ford Motor have reported their best annual U. S. sales since 2019. This marks a significant recovery from the setbacks caused by the coronavirus pandemic and supply chain issues. Industry experts had predicted this comeback, estimating tha
Imagine tiny particles smaller than the width of a human hair made from iron and a plant called Parietaria alsinifolia. These aren't just any particles—these are nanoparticles, and they're being made in a way that's kind to the environment. Scientists used extracts from Parietaria alsinifolia to cre
Imagine a bike that defies your logic—that’s what Professor Klein created with his rear-steered bicycle! This two-wheeler isn't like the bikes you ride every day. Even though Klein offered a prize for anyone who could master it, no one was able to ride it for years. This bike, funny as it sounds, he
