The Black Lives Matter protests that spread across the US in 2020 caused a rapid drop in racial bias, but by the end of the year, it had risen again, according to new research. While the protests shone a light on institutional racism, this study highli… Continue reading BLM protests rapidly reduced racial bias … briefly
Hydrogen shows a lot of promise as a powerful, clean fuel source – as long as the process that creates it is also green. A new report shows how tough it might be to get to truly green hydrogen, while a new study removes a barrier to its creation.Contin… Continue reading Green hydrogen breakthrough swaps in water for iridium
A massive global study tracking birth data from 165 countries has found more twins are being born than ever before. The study reveals twinning rates rose by a third over the past 40 years but the researchers suggest this trend may have reached a natura… Continue reading Twin births hit record high
Four independent experiments across the globe have found that it’s possible to establish two-way communications with people in the weird, hallucinatory state of lucid dreaming, opening up a new field of real-time “interactive dreaming” research.Continu… Continue reading Scientists establish freaky two-way communications with lucid dreamers
It’s long been thought that our cells stop dividing as we age as a natural preventative measure against cancer. Now a new study has found an intriguing piece of evidence supporting this hypothesis in genomes from several families that seem to be partic… Continue reading New evidence strengthens link between telomere length, aging and cancer
Most of us are familiar with the four classical states of matter – solid, liquid, gas and plasma – but there’s a whole world of exotic states out there. Now, physicists at Radboud and Uppsala Universities have identified a new one named “self-induced s… Continue reading Whirling, glassy magnets found to be new state of matter
Esophageal cancer is a difficult one to detect during its early stages, with most diagnosed only once the disease is well advanced, making it a difficult one to treat. A new type of breath test developed by scientists in the Netherlands could offer a c… Continue reading Breath test accurately detects a known precursor of esophageal cancer
Through a string of interesting studies scientists have been able to probe the links between blood flow to the brain and declining cognitive function. One particularly promising and recent example demonstrated how a drug commonly used for high blood pressure could be used to treat diseases like Parkinson’s and dementia. Scientists in the Netherlands have now uncovered another candidate, finding an existing drug used for hypertension was able to boost blood flow to memory and learning regions in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.
