With their ability to capture imaginations and evoke emotions, photos can tell us stories about nature that words alone can’t convey. The winning entries in the Nature TTL Photographer of the Year 2023 competition prove that, as far as nature is concer… Continue reading Incredible images from Nature TTL Photographer of the Year 2023 winners
Researchers have created a new family of nanomaterials by alloying phosphorus with arsenic to create single-atom-thick ribbons that are highly conductive, making them ideal candidates for use in next-generation batteries, solar cells and quantum comput… Continue reading Novel nanoribbons could improve battery & solar cell efficiency
Researchers have found that splitting the gene editor used in traditional CRISPR technology creates a more precise tool that can be switched on and off, with significantly less chance of causing unintended genome mutations. They say their novel tool ca… Continue reading New gene-editing tool reduces unintended mutations by more than 70%
Researchers have gained new insights into largely overlooked circular RNAs in brain cells and the crucial role they play in diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. In addition to providing valuable information about the molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions, their findings open the door to developing diagnostic tests and treatments for them.

A new study has challenged the commonly held belief that consciously suppressing negative thoughts is bad for our mental health, finding that people who did so had lower levels of post-traumatic stress and anxiety, and intrusive thoughts were less vivi… Continue reading Suppressing negative thoughts reduces post-traumatic stress & anxiety
Researchers have developed a novel platinum-enhanced, light-activated compound that kills cancer cells in a unique way without requiring oxygen, overcoming a limitation with existing light-based cancer therapies. Their discovery paves the way for devel… Continue reading Novel light-activated compound kills cancer cells in a unique way
Building upon the success of its first-generation predecessor, the new-and-improved Bullet Ant 2.0 pushes the boundaries of multitool pens, catering to a diverse range of needs while clipping snugly in your pocket.Continue ReadingCategory: Outdoors, Li… Continue reading Introducing the Bullet Ant 2.0, a multitool pen for all occasions
Researchers have mapped where and how strongly we experience different kinds of love, covering everything from romantic love to love for strangers. The findings shed light on how context affects subjective feelings and adds to existing research on the … Continue reading Where in our bodies do we feel love (and other emotions)?
A study of white-collar workers has found that men who experience work stress coupled with a job that requires high effort for low reward are at double the risk of developing heart disease, having a similar impact on heart health as obesity.Continue Re… Continue reading Stress and high effort/low reward work doubles men’s heart disease risk
Researchers have discovered that a chemical in the brain makes alcohol taste bitter to women and may explain the difference in drinking habits between the sexes. The discovery could pave the way for novel treatments to help women curb excessive alcohol… Continue reading Brain chemical affects how women taste alcohol, changes drinking habits
