The recent study revealed that the melting of the polar ice caps is influencing Earth’s rotation, resulting in longer days at an “unprecedented” rate. This change in Earth’s rotation can be compared to a figure skater extending her arms during a pirouette, causing a decrease in speed due to the movement of masses away from

According to a recent study conducted by the American Cancer Society (ACS), modifiable risk factors play a significant role in the development and progression of cancer among adults over the age of 30 in the United States. The research, which analyzed 1.78 million cases from 2019, revealed that nearly half of cancer-related deaths could be
Pterosaurs, the flying reptiles that dominated the skies long before birds and bats, have always been a subject of fascination for paleontologists. While feathers and hollow bones have been credited for their aerial prowess, a recent study has shed light on a lesser-known yet crucial aspect of their flight capabilities – a lattice-like structure in
Our childhood habits often shape our behaviors and preferences as adults. A recent survey has shed light on how the temperature settings in our childhood homes can influence the way we set our thermostats today. Breaking Down the Survey Results The survey, titled “Turn down for watt,” conducted by researchers Dritjon Gruda and Paul Hanges,
Sepsis is a serious medical condition that occurs when the body overreacts to an infection, causing damage to vital organs and potentially leading to cognitive impairment, disability, and even death. A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia explored the use of a “megadose” of a salt made from vitamin
Hotdogs and other processed meats have long been a staple of American cuisine, but recent evidence suggests that these beloved foods are associated with a host of serious health issues. Studies show that processed meats such as bacon, sausage, and salami are linked to leading diseases in the United States, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular
The idea of counting your blessings and maintaining a positive outlook on life is not just a cliché; it may actually have tangible benefits for your health and well-being. A recent study conducted on nearly 50,000 older nurses in the US has found a strong correlation between gratitude and longevity. While the study does not
The concept of time distortion due to differences in gravity has been known since Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Gravity’s ability to slow time has been a fascinating topic for scientists, but it’s only been in recent years that advances in technology have allowed us to measure these temporal distortions accurately. With the contrast
Recent studies have shed light on the strong connection between autism spectrum disorder and the composition of the gut microbiome. While previous research mainly focused on the role of bacteria in the digestive tract, a new analysis has expanded the scope to include fungi, archaea, and viruses. This in-depth examination, led by researchers from the
Quail eggs have become an unexpected but valuable resource for scientists seeking to gain a deeper understanding of fetal development and the causes of birth defects. The unique properties of avian eggs make them conducive to studying embryos in real-time, allowing researchers to observe critical processes that were previously only understood through static images.
