In the world of tech, tiny things are making big waves. Scientists have been playing around with mercury telluride (HgTe) nanocrystals. These tiny particles can be tuned to absorb different wavelengths of light, especially in the infrared (IR) range. This makes them super useful for creating afforda
Long COVID-19 is more than just a physical struggle. It's also taking a toll on the brain. Many people are facing neuropsychiatric symptoms. These include things like memory problems, mood swings, and even neurodegenerative disorders. But what's causing these issues? Researchers are looking into th
In the heart of China, a group of scientists set out to understand how Reeves' turtles choose where to lay their eggs. This is important because these turtles are in trouble, and knowing more about them can help protect them. The team tracked 11 female turtles in Qichun County from April to Septemb
People often wonder how lifting weights and taking certain hormones affect muscles and nerves. A recent investigation dug into this by looking at how resistance training and a specific hormone, nandrolone decanoate, change the way muscles connect with nerves and how certain proteins are made. First
In times of crisis, making the right call is tough. Why? Because the information available is often shaky, outdated, or just plain conflicting. This isn't just a small problem. It's a big deal. It affects how help is given, where resources go, and how well aid works. Think about it. In places like
Technology is always evolving, and now, there's a new player in the game: tellurene nanofilm transistors. These tiny powerhouses are designed to handle more than just the usual 0s and 1s. They can manage a third state, making them super useful for complex computing tasks. The secret lies in their u
Garmin smartwatches are known for their top-notch fitness tracking. But until recently, they couldn't share data with Google's Health Connect. That's changing, but not everything will be shared. Google announced in May 2025 that Garmin would soon support Health Connect. They promised it would be re
Tendons can be tricky to heal. They often take a long time to recover, and sometimes they don't heal properly. But what if there's a better way to fix them? Researchers have been working on a new method using special materials and stem cells to help tendons heal faster and better. They used a speci
Mosses are tiny but mighty. They are some of the oldest plants on land and play a big role in nature. They also have uses in gardening and medicine. But studying them is tough. There aren't many experts who can tell one type of moss from another. That's where DNA barcoding comes in. It's a tool tha
Making the choice to report a loved one's dangerous behavior to authorities is a tough call. It's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, you want to protect society. On the other, you don't want to betray someone you care about. A recent study dug into this dilemma. It looke
