Cardiovascular disease is common worldwide, and the list of risk factors contributing to the condition is well known. According to a new study, aircraft noise should be added as a factor contributing to heart attacks and worsening outcomes.Continue Rea… Continue reading Aircraft noise increases risk and worsens outcomes of heart attack
The analysis of volcanic gases allows scientists to determine what processes are taking place deep within volcanoes, including the possibility of impending eruptions. And while big, expensive drones have previously been used to sample those gases, a sm… Continue reading Consumer drone adapted to help predict volcanic eruptions
Eternal youth is the first thing many of us might wish for if we stumbled onto a genie or a magic monkey’s paw, but there’s always a catch. Now, scientists have discovered a version of this story playing out in ant nests, as parasites drastically exten… Continue reading Parasite grants ants “eternal youth” – but there’s a dark side
When a patient is receiving medication, it can be difficult to determine how much of the drug is actually making its way into their bloodstream. A new subdermal “tattoo” could help, thanks to its color-changing gold nanoparticles.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Under-skin sensor uses bits of gold to show bloodstream drug levels
Taking inspiration from the way sea cucumbers can strengthen their exterior when in danger, scientists in Germany have developed a novel wafer-thin paper material that can transition from firm to soft via an electrical switch. The researchers envisage … Continue reading Electrically charged paper goes from firm to soft at flick of a switch
Just a few months ago, scientists reported the detection of very low-frequency gravitational waves. Now a pair of German astrophysicists has investigated two intriguing possible sources – the universe cooling down after the Big Bang, and a field of par… Continue reading Dark matter or cooling “primordial soup” could create gravitational waves
