Alzheimer’s disease has long been associated with the accumulation of proteins in brain cells. However, a recent study conducted by researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine has shed light on the role of lipid deposits in the development of this neurodegenerative condition. Going back to the observations made by Alois Alzheimer himself, the study
Recent research has shown that consuming fatty foods in the days leading up to surgery can exacerbate the inflammatory processes associated with post-operative cognitive decline. While it is common for individuals to experience grogginess and memory deficits following surgery, some individuals may experience prolonged memory difficulties that can last for weeks to months. This cognitive
In a research center in Romania, engineer Antonia Toma activates the world’s most powerful laser, marking a significant milestone in the field of laser technology. Operated by French company Thales and utilizing Nobel prize-winning inventions, this laser has the potential to revolutionize various sectors, from healthcare to space exploration. The sharp beams of laser light
Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have been gaining recognition as a promising class of transistors with the potential to revolutionize the field of electronics. These transistors are based on organic superconducting materials and are known for their ability to modulate electrical current in response to small changes in the voltage applied to their gate electrode. While
Sex is known to have numerous physical and psychological benefits, such as reducing high blood pressure, boosting the immune system, and promoting better sleep. The act of sex and achieving orgasm releases oxytocin, also known as the love hormone, which plays a crucial role in building trust and forming bonds between individuals. While the benefits
In the realm of 6G vision services, Professor Jeongho Kwak’s from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at DGIST has made groundbreaking advancements in developing a learning model and resource optimization technology that promises to revolutionize the industry. With the rise of technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and autonomous driving, 6G vision
Furthering your education doesn’t just lead to academic success, it also has a direct correlation with how long you live and the health of your cells, as indicated by a recent study involving 3,101 individuals across three generations. While it is widely accepted that higher levels of education equate to better job opportunities, increased income,
In a groundbreaking development, US surgeons recently made history by successfully transplanting a kidney from a gene-edited pig into a human recipient. This procedure marks a significant advancement in the field of xenotransplantation, where organs are transplanted from one species to another. Advocates of this technology see it as a potential solution to the global
The advancement of technology in the automotive industry has brought about the development of vehicles that can drive themselves, a long-standing goal of both robotics research and automotive companies. While self-driving cars have been tested and deployed in various settings, researchers have recently delved into the concept of “automated valet parking” (AVP). This function would
The rise of artificial intelligence has brought about both incredible advancements and significant risks, particularly when it comes to voice cloning. OpenAI, a leading AI research organization, recently unveiled a voice-cloning tool called “Voice Engine,” which has sparked concerns about the potential misuse of such technology. Security Concerns Voice Engine has the capability to replicate
Recent research has shed light on the underlying mechanisms of our impulse to eat, even when not hungry, and how it might be linked to a specific region of the brain rather than typical hunger signals from the stomach. This discovery has significant implications, particularly in the context of developing effective treatments for eating disorders.
A recent study has revealed alarming information about the impact of climate change on global heat waves. The study found that since 1979, heat waves are moving at a slower pace, resulting in higher temperatures over larger areas for longer periods of time. This means that more people are being exposed to extreme heat for
Ice Streams and their Impact Each day, in the remote region of Antarctica, massive glaciers navigate their way across the ice-covered landscape. These frozen rivers, known as ice streams, serve as the primary conduits for carrying vast amounts of ice and sediment debris towards the ocean. Recently, research conducted by Washington University in St. Louis
