Research has shown that maintaining low levels of CO2 in indoor spaces can have a significant impact on reducing infectious airborne viral loads. This discovery has important implications for controlling the transmission of viruses, especially in settings with limited ventilation. A recent study conducted by University of Bristol chemist Allen Haddrell and his colleagues focused

As brain implant technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, there are growing concerns about what happens when these implants are no longer supported by their producers. While upgrading to a new model of a smartphone may be inconvenient, the implications of abandoning a brain implant are far more serious and complex. A recent
In a world where age-related health issues are becoming more prevalent, it is essential for people of all ages to prioritize their health and well-being. A recent study conducted in Australia focused on the impact of physical activity on women in their 40s and 50s, highlighting the importance of meeting recommended guidelines of at least
The race for faster and more efficient cellular technology is a never-ending one, with each generation pushing the boundaries of what is possible. With 6G now on the horizon, developers are gearing up to unleash the full potential of this next-generation network. A recent technology demo conducted in Japan showcased a prototype wireless device achieving
As we delve into the intricate connection between biodiversity and mental wellbeing, one thing becomes evident – the loss of a single species has a profound impact on our planet. Humans rely on a diverse range of animals, plants, and microorganisms for healthy living environments. Research has shown that the continuous decline in biodiversity poses
Recent mid- and near-infrared observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have provided a groundbreaking look at the iconic space cloud known as the Horsehead Nebula. In a remarkable high-resolution image, the telescope captured intricate details atop the ‘horse’s head, revealing tendrils and filaments that had never been seen before. Using a combination of 23
In a groundbreaking new study, researchers have successfully simulated neurological junctions known as synapses using the same basic ingredients found in the human brain – water and salt. This innovative approach has paved the way for advancements in the field of iontronics, which aims to merge biology with electronics. By mimicking the brain’s utilization of
In the quest for finding innovative ways to control the behavior of light waves, researchers have discovered a groundbreaking method to bring light waves to a standstill. By creating a specialized trap from a silicon crystal that has been modified to mimic deformation, scientists have unlocked a flexible technique to immobilize light waves. This novel
The quest to find the mysterious Planet Nine persists, with recent research suggesting the “strongest statistical evidence yet” for the existence of a planet lurking in the distant reaches of the Solar System. Astronomer Konstantin Bogytin of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) asserts that this latest study provides compelling support for the presence of
In a shocking turn of events, a day spa in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was at the center of a health department investigation due to the practice of ‘vampire facials’. These facials, which involve drawing blood from a vein, separating platelets, and reinjecting them into the skin using microneedling, were carried out by an unlicensed operator
