Over 30,000 people aged 45 or older have been monitored by a team of researchers for an average of 11 years. Out of those people, 14,175 were selected for the investigation of cognitive decline, and 20,243 were selected for the ...
At Thwaites Glacier, which is located in West Antarctica, glaciologists have discovered enough signs of warm ocean water penetrating many kilometers beneath the ice that is grounded. Recent findings showcase the current climate models appear to be underestimating the influence of interactions between ...
According to a new study from a group of psychologists and data researchers, infants are actually better than artificial intelligence at knowing what drives people’s actions. Its findings, which point out fundamental distinctions between cognition and computation, highlight areas that ...
A recent discovery of a 380-million-year-old heart left researchers in awe, but it is quite the deal when it comes to evolutionary history. The 380-million-year-old heart, the oldest ever found, coupled with a separate fossilized liver, stomach, and intestine (can ...
PEDP is a protein pigment epithelium-derived factor, which safeguards retinal support cells, and the loss of it may hasten age-related alterations in the retina, highlights a recent National Eye Institute (NEI) research. That being said, age-related macular degeneration-like symptoms can ...
According to new data, the pan-Arctic (Greenland, parts of Canada, Russia, Scandinavia, and Alaska) has seen a decline in lake size during the last two decades and is completely drying. The results provide data on the causes of the mass ...
The jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii can live forever (at least in principle), according to research conducted by a team at the Universidad de Oviedo in Spain. In a recent study, the researchers discussed sequencing the genomes of two closely related species ...
A new study published in Neurology has revealed that older people suffering from thyroid problems, such as hypothyroidism, have a higher risk than others of developing dementia. Furthermore, this risk increases for people who undergo thyroid hormone replacement therapy. But ...
A new study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that the consumption of drinks with a high content of sugar increases the chances of getting colon cancer and of dying from it. According to Eat This, Not ...
Many people have studied stress as either a response, cause, or trigger for other severe human conditions. Work-related stress is every day and is seen as a common risk. However, some jobs are more stressful than others. Healthcare, for example, ...
Planets do not take much longer to form after stars have formed. For example, the Sun formed 4.6 billion years ago, and the Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. However, scientists now say it is not necessarily the only possibility. ...
In its early stages, a temperature check of the universe, just 880 million years after the Big Bang, was made possible by studying the shadow produced by a cloud of cold water gas 13.8 billion light-years distant from Earth. It’s ...
Recent research finds that flowers found wholly preserved in globs of amber grew at the foot of dinosaurs, implying that certain blooming plants in South Africa today have stayed unmodified for 99 million years. The two blooms flowered initially in ...
Consequently, little is known about their migrations and much less about how illnesses spread among puma communities. A new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution by researchers from the University of Minnesota, Colorado State University, and Colorado Parks and ...
According to a recent research, having more body fat is a risk factor for adults’ impaired cognitive function, such as processing speed. Even when the researchers considered cardiovascular risk factors, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, or vascular brain ...
Scientists Made Disturbing Discovery in the Greenland Ice Sheet, Made Possible by Better Simulations
In the 2004 film “The Day After Tomorrow,” scientist Jack Hall examines the Antarctic past only to discover an oncoming Ice Age, popularizing paleoclimatology. Paleoclimatology may help us understand the present and future implications of climate change. The new Greenland ...
A team of researchers led by a university in British Columbia discovered numerous new species of coronavirus, some of which were discovered in unexpected areas such as animal excrement. The findings were produced by a former UBC post-doctoral research fellow ...
New intriguing study highlights the importance of a somehow odd connection: sleep and physical activity. Researchers aimed to figure out as much as they could to address some long-standing hypotheses. The study focused on middle-aged women as they entered menopause. ...
Ice Memory is a daring ongoing international project enrolled in preserving natural artificats before global warming destroys them. Recent mission witnessed the extraction of the oldest ice in the Alps region, now a significant part of a new study. Here ...
Oxygen will always be a necessity for most life forms on Earth, and global warming isn’t helping at all. A new report reveals how oxygen is rapidly disappearing from Earth’s lakes, threatening ecosystems and aquatic life. Researchers examined many samples ...
Did you know that sleep and memory are connected? Scientists succeeded in finding such a link, and now we have more details about it. A new study reveals intriguing patterns of our brain activity that can unlock doors to our ...
Saturn has puzzled scientists’ work for decades due to its mysterious structure that’s so challenging to probe. Recent data, however, shed light on a subject that intrigues us all: what’s like inside Saturn? Thanks to the gas giant’s unique ring ...
We spend most of the day in artificially lit rooms and also looking at different screens every day. Such a thing might confuse our internal clock more than we’ve imagined. A new study explains how artificial light might affect our ...
Researchers discovered 509 genes shared by two common psychiatric disorders and explained everything in a new paper. There’s more than a fair chance that one in two people diagnosed with depression also struggles with an anxiety condition at some point ...
As new research emerges, we learn that setting healthy eating and physical activity habits during childhood can have many benefits. Dieting and exercising might be a burden, but starting early in life can significantly increase brain mass and lower anxiety. ...
