The role that regular, healthy sleeping patterns play in staving off disease continues to become clearer through studies that delve into the effects of a disrupted body clock, the 24-hour cycle known as our circadian rhythm. Adding to this pool of know… Continue reading Study suggests a 10 to 11 pm bedtime lowers risk of heart disease
Research tracking rates of autism over the past 20 years in England has found a striking increase in the volume of diagnoses. The study shows autism diagnoses rose by 787 percent over two decades, however, the growth is most likely due to increased rep… Continue reading Autism diagnoses jump 787 percent in two decades, new analysis finds
It’s easy to feel hopeless in the face of climate change, but it’s not too late to do something about it – after all, we’ve stepped up to similar challenges before. New modeling shows just how much worse the situation would be if CFCs hadn’t been banne… Continue reading “World Avoided” model charts climate cost if we’d ignored ozone hole
We know that plastic pollution continues to build up in the ocean at alarming rates, and we know this poses a risk to the creatures that call it home, but scientists continue to dive into the complex interactions underlying this relationship. The lates… Continue reading Plastic pollution is laying “evolutionary traps” for developing turtles
Medical endoscopes may look small, but their tips are actually several millimeters wide, making them too big to image living cells within the body. A new system, however, allows users to view images through a single ultra-thin strand of optical fiber.C… Continue reading New optical technique paves the way for “hair-thin” endoscopes
A new peer-reviewed study published in the British Medical Journal is offering some of the first clear evidence to suggest the SARS-CoV-2 variant B.1.1.7, informally known as the UK variant, is linked with significantly higher rates of death than previ… Continue reading New study suggests UK coronavirus variant is significantly more deadly
Scientists looking at shark and ray populations across the globe have published an alarming study depicting a rapid decline of these species over the past half century. This spells trouble not just for those animals in particular, but the ripple effect… Continue reading Shark and ray populations have plummeted by 71% in half a century
Minute differences in the blood pressure between each arm aren’t cause for concern, but there is a point at which variances could represent cardiovascular trouble. An expansive international study has shone new light on where that point lies, drawing o… Continue reading Blood pressure variance between arms cause for cardiovascular concern
The more we know about the problem of plastic pollution, the better we’ll be able to intervene and clean up, or even prevent, the mess. That includes understanding the way it moves through the marine environment, and a new study has shed further light … Continue reading Tagged plastic bottles reveal the path of plastic through the ocean
The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is causing the planet to heat up at an alarming rate, but it doesn’t do so in an entirely even way. A new study has found that climate change is raising nighttime temperatures across th… Continue reading Climate change heating up nights faster than days, study finds
