Broccoli has been praised for its high levels of sulforaphane, a beneficial compound known for its potential health benefits. This compound is formed from glucosinolates in the vegetable, which are transformed into sulforaphane through myrosinase activity. Unfortunately, common cooking methods like boiling and microwaving can significantly reduce the levels of these compounds in broccoli, making

The Tokyo Olympics in 2021 brought about the addition of seven new sports, such as karate and climbing, showcasing the evolving landscape of the prestigious event. While the athletes continued to push boundaries and set new records, researchers found that some of the new sports led to a disproportionately large number of injuries. The International
The link between tooth loss and an increased risk of dying from heart disease, stroke, and other fatal heart events has been a topic of interest in recent research. While previous studies have hinted at a connection between missing teeth and cardiovascular diseases, the exact relationship between oral health and heart health remains complex and
Ammonia production plays a crucial role in agriculture by providing the necessary fertilizer for crop growth. However, the traditional method of producing ammonia through the Haber-Bosch process is not sustainable. This process requires a significant amount of energy and results in the production of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide. In light of these challenges, researchers
A recent nationally representative study conducted in the United States has found that women who engage in regular sexual activity are likely to live longer. This study, part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), interviewed and examined over 14,000 adults between the ages of 20 and 59. The results of the study,
Scientists have recently made a groundbreaking discovery by recovering the first extensive section of rocks from the Earth’s mantle, the layer situated below the crust. This remarkable find is set to revolutionize our understanding of the Earth’s composition and the processes that shape our planet. The recovered rocks, totaling an impressive 1,268 meters, were obtained
Pancreatic cancer is known for being one of the most deadly forms of cancer largely due to late diagnosis. The current markers available for screenings are often not sensitive or specific enough for early detection. In a recent study published in Angewandte Chemie, a team of researchers has developed a new method for diagnosing pancreatic
Imagine a world where a robot could assist in protecting kids in crosswalks, reducing the shortage of crossing guards in the Bay Area. This is the vision of Hovannes Kulhandjian, an associate professor in electrical and computer engineering at Fresno State, who has developed a prototype called CrossBot. The robot, equipped with sensors, Lidar, a
When we think of Olympic athletes, we envision individuals who have achieved the pinnacle of success in their sport. However, the path to Olympic glory is filled with challenges and uncertainties that often lead to disappointment for the majority of athletes. Success in the Olympics requires dedicated training for speed, strength, and technique. Unfortunately, this
Imagine a world where physicians can create three-dimensional projections of medical scans and hold them in their hands inside an acrylic cube. This groundbreaking idea could revolutionize the field of medical imaging, allowing for a more tangible and interactive way to visualize a patient’s anatomy. A recent report in the journal Chem by researchers at
Recent research conducted by scholars from the University of Cambridge and the British Antarctic Survey has shed light on the impact of biomass burning on climate models. By examining carbon monoxide levels in Antarctic ice cores dating back to the 19th century, researchers have identified a more significant variability in biomass burning than previously thought.
Cannabigerol (CBG), a lesser-known compound found in cannabis plants, has been gaining attention in recent years for its potential therapeutic benefits. Often referred to as the “mother of all cannabinoids,” CBG has shown promising results in preclinical studies, suggesting that it could one day rival the popular CBD (cannabidiol). While historically overshadowed by THC (tetrahydrocannabinol)
Chemistry, a field often associated with trial and error, is now entering a new era thanks to the collaboration between chemists and computer scientists. A recent development by a trio of chemists at the University of Copenhagen has led to the creation of an innovative AI application designed to predict the structure of small molecules
In a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Liverpool, a groundbreaking discovery has been made in the realm of sustainable fuel production. The team has successfully developed a plasma-catalytic process for the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into methanol at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. This innovative approach addresses the inherent limitations
In a groundbreaking study conducted by Dr. Jin Gu, Kang and his team at the Nanophotonics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), a colorful radiation-cooling liquid crystal material has been developed. This material has the exceptional ability to cool without the need for external power while also emitting vibrant colors,
