Nuclear fusion is an incredibly complex scientific problem that researchers are coming at from all sorts of angles, and Zap Energy is starting to make waves through one of the lesser-known approaches. The Seattle-based startup has achieved a major mile… Continue reading First plasma propels Zap Energy’s plans for garage-sized fusion reactors
Human balance is known to decline with age, and an international team of researchers has provided new evidence around whether this particular ability can serve as an indicator for risk of disease and death. The study involving more than 1,700 subjects … Continue reading A 10-second balance test could predict your risk of early death
Scientists at the University of Buffalo experimenting with next-generation battery designs have demonstrated how magnetism might be used to bring a new level of precision to the way we monitor a battery’s state of charge. The breakthrough hinges on a n… Continue reading Magnetic electrode traces ion flows to reveal battery life in real time
Though we understand exercise to be good for our wellbeing, there is a lot still to learn about the complex and varied ways physical activity drives positive health outcomes in humans. Scientists digging into the molecular details of this relationship … Continue reading “Anti-hunger” molecule found to promote weight loss after exercise
Polar bears are highly dependent on sea ice as a platform to hunt their prey, and with record low concentrations continuing to be seen in the Arctic, these large carnivores face a real fight for survival. But scientists have uncovered new reason for op… Continue reading Scientists discover polar bears adapting to live largely on glacier slush
The world’s largest flying aircraft has reached new heights, with Stratolaunch today completing the seventh test flight of its gigantic Roc carrier plane and logging a record altitude for the huge aircraft in the process. The exercise was also used to … Continue reading World’s largest plane soars to its highest altitude yet
A landmark study from researchers in Australia has established the first significant links between childhood obesity and cognitive ability in midlife, with the authors suggesting this relationship may have ties to one’s risk of dementia. The research t… Continue reading World-first study links childhood obesity to lower cognition in midlife
The state of our gut microbiome continues to be linked to a range of health outcomes, with the diversity of these microbial populations believed to play an important role in our vulnerability to disease. A small pilot study suggests that moderate consu… Continue reading Study suggests a beer a day can increase diversity of gut bacteria
