Eating Regular Variety of Nuts Associated with Lower Risk of Heart Disease

People who regularly eat nuts, including peanuts, walnuts and tree nuts, have a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease compared to people who never or almost never eat nuts, according to a new study. The study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology is the largest to […]

Simple Water Test Could Prevent Crippling Bone Disease 15 Nov 2017

Simple Water Test Could Prevent Crippling Bone Disease

A simple colour-changing test to detect fluoride in drinking water, devised by researchers at the University of Bath, could in the future prevent the crippling bone disease , skeletal fluorosis, in developing countries such as India and Tanzania. Whilst low amounts of fluoride are beneficial for healthy teeth, high levels of fluoride can weaken bones, leading to […]

LEDs Light the Way for Better Drug Therapies 14 Nov 2017

LEDs Light the Way for Better Drug Therapies

A revolutionary new technique to create radioactive molecules has the potential to bring new medicines to patients much faster than before — using light. While the previous approach took months, the new photocatalytic process replaces hydrogen with tritium in just hours. Radioactivity may have a bad rap, but it plays a critical role in medical […]

Site of Asteroid Impact Changed History of Life 14 Nov 2017

Site of Asteroid Impact Changed History of Life

An asteroid, also known as the Chicxulub Impactor, hit Earth some 66 million years ago, causing a crater 180 km wide. The impact of the asteroid heated organic matter in rocks and ejected it into the atmosphere, forming soot in the stratosphere. Soot is a strong, light-absorbing aerosol that caused global climate changes that triggered […]

How And Why Blood Clots Shrink

TEHRAN  – Research elucidating how blood clots contract could help in the development of new treatments for heart attack and stroke. Researchers have used high-powered microscopy and rheometry — the measurement of how materials become deformed in response to applied force — to view the blood clotting process in real time and at the cellular […]

New Pathway for Handling Stress Discovered

Researchers at the University of California San Diego studying how animals respond to infections have found a new pathway that may help in tolerating stressors that damage proteins. Naming the pathway the Intracellular Pathogen Response or ‘IPR,’ the scientists say it is a newly discovered way for animals to cope with certain types of stress […]

Chip-Based Sensors with Incredible Sensitivity 06 Nov 2017

Chip-Based Sensors with Incredible Sensitivity

In London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral, a whisper can be heard far across the circular whispering gallery as the sound curves around the walls. Now, an optical whispering gallery mode resonator can spin light around the circumference of a tiny sphere millions of times, creating an ultrasensitive microchip-based sensor for multiple applications. “Whispering gallery mode resonators, […]
