The food is found to have a huge impact on the cognitive skills. According to the researchers from the Iowa State University, they published a study in theJournal of Alzheimers Disease wherein the researchers found specific foods to play an important role in improving the cognitive acuity later in life. The in-depth genetic and health information coupled with large biomedical database helped analyze importance of food and also the role of food in reducing the impacts of certain common or life-
Recently, a team has started a research on the chemical origins of life using a new method for studying the characteristic patterns of DNA. As per the study, the researchers have found DNA base pairs to form by dry heating devoid of water or other solvents. Ernest Mestrovic from the pharmaceutical company Xellia along with the research team led by Ivan Halasz from the Rudjer Boskovic Institute presents details about DESYs X-ray source PETRA III in the journal Chemical Communications.Moreover,
A team from the University of California has found a non-hallucinogenic version of a psychedelic drug named ibogaine to possess the ability to treat addiction, depression, and other mental illnesses. The researchers have published the effect of ibogaine on the psychiatric disordersin Nature. Earlier studies have already proved the strength of psychedelics as they are found to directly have an impact on the brain. According to lead researcher David Olson, there are still more facts to be discov
Researchers have recently found that blocking a specific protein for a month can help regain the mass and strength in the animals just like in the mice models. The researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine have found that increasing the expression of the protein can weaken or cause muscle atrophy. The need for a better treatment to strengthen muscle fibers is important as humans tend to lose about 10% of their muscle strength per decade after about age 50. It is for the first
Researchers have recently developed electronic skin that can very well attach to the body and also monitor majority of the vital signs. The newly engineered electronic skin is breathable, comfortable as well as flexible from the daily use point of view. In case of electrodes for conducting electric signals for various applications, gold is the metal that is usually preferred but its cost, sterilization before use in humans, and complicated manufacturing process makes its use skeptical. However
In real-world, everybody is affected by their neighbors and so is the elements present around us. The nanoparticles in the catalyst are found to be effected on a large scale. The Chalmers researchers have published their study on surrounding elements effect on the nanoparticles functionality in the catalyst in the journal Science Advances and Nature Communications. The researchers are thus on the run to find super particles that can aid in developing efficient catalysts in the future.For utili
The University of Liverpool researchers have recently developed a means for the future development of sustainable, clean bioenergy. For the production of hydrogen, the researchers are reprogramming bacterial protein cages into nanoscale bioreactors. In the journal Nature Communications, the researchers have mentioned how carboxysome, a unique bacterial organelle that captures important CO2-fixing enzyme, Rubisco, into a virus-like protein shell. The structure, catalytic property, and semi-perm
Researchers are using the chameleons ability to change colors, communicate, and temperature regulation properties in enhancing the technologies, anti-counterfeiting measures, and displays in electronics. However, every material has its limitationsand thus the researchers are working toward developing a flexible film that will change colors depending on the stretching, pressure, or humidity. The latest study published in ACS Applied Materials Interfacesthe structural coloration of the chameleo
At the time of coronavirus pandemic, all of us are mandatorily wearing face masks while stepping out of their house. But, the major concern is that the viruses and bacteria that glue onto the outer surface of the masks could be transferred everywhere while being removed or touched. Additionally, the researchers reported in the journal ACS Applied Materials Interfacestheir invention of a new type of cotton face mask that can destroy up to 99.9999% of bacteria and viruses in just 60 Minutes on
Scientists from the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore have lately created a liquid window panel that can instantaneously block the sun so ascontrol solar transmission and at the same time release thermal heat during the day and night for lowering the energy consumption by buildings. The NTU scientists smart window has been made by adding hydrogel-based liquid in the glass panels. This new window is found to have the ability to reduce heating, air-conditioning energy consumption, and
