Even when it’s ground into microparticles, 97% of an algae-based plastic biodegrades in compost and water in under seven months, a new study has reported. The researchers hope their plastic will eventually replace existing petroleum-based ones, which h… Continue reading “First plastic demonstrated to not create microplastics” has been tested
Working-age US adults are dying at far higher rates than their peers from high-income countries, even surpassing death rates in Central and Eastern European countries, and midlife mortality rates in the UK are not great either. A new study has examined… Continue reading Working-age death rate 2.5x higher in the US than other countries. Why?
Eating a keto diet prevented the mild cognitive impairment that’s often seen in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease by altering the way brain cells connect and communicate, new research has found. The researchers suggest that adopting the diet may be a way of delaying the onset of full-blown Alzheimer’s.

Psilocybin mushrooms have been illegal since the ’70s. Deemed not to be beneficial to health and considered ripe for abuse, it’s only relatively recently that research highlighting the medicinal benefits of psilocybin, particularly in treating psychiat… Continue reading Fast, reliable test measures potency of psilocybin mushrooms
Engaging in activities that are designed to blow off steam when you’re angry – like jogging or hitting a punching bag – probably isn’t going to be effective at reducing your anger, researchers have found. It’s better, they say, to try activities that d… Continue reading There are solutions for anger, but ‘blowing off steam’ doesn’t work
A common, usually harmless bacteria have a significant role in causing stomach cancer, a new study has found. It joins the better-known, at least in medical circles, H. pylori bacteria as a known cancer risk. Researchers identified the bacteria’s mecha… Continue reading Another common bacteria implicated in stomach cancer
Incorporating a phase-change material into concrete, researchers have created a self-heating material that can melt snow and ice for up to 10 hours without using salt or shovels. The novel material could reduce the need for plowing and salting and help… Continue reading Phase-change concrete melts snow and ice without salt or shovels
Aware of the link between eating red and processed meat and the incidence of colorectal cancer but not the biological basis for it, researchers have now identified two genetic markers that may explain it. Understanding the disease process and the genes… Continue reading Genetic variants link meat consumption to increased bowel cancer risk
