Earlier this year, we heard about some tiny robots that used a bio-inspired mechanism to jump high into the air. The makers of those devices have now tweaked the design, creating bots that jump very long distances – potentially allowing them to travers… Continue reading Tiny locust-inspired robots are champion long-jumpers
A new study has revealed how overeating affects a cat’s digestion and gut microbiome. The greater understanding provided by the study may help to prevent pet obesity and the health problems associated with it.Continue ReadingCategory: Pets, LifestyleTa… Continue reading Fat cats: Study reveals the effects of obesity on feline digestion

The Gyr cattle farmed in Tanzania handle the African heat and arid conditions well, but they produce much less milk than less-tolerant Holstein or Jersey cows. Scientists have set about addressing that problem, by creating hybrid cattle that combine bo… Continue reading Heat-tolerant hybrid cows may be the Goldilocks of cattle
A new study has found that for type 2 diabetics, eating only between certain hours of the day, on an intermittent fasting or a time-restricted diet, is more effective for weight loss than calorie-controlled eating and has the same positive effect on bl… Continue reading Time-restricted eating found to be effective for type 2 diabetics
If you don’t like getting needles in the arm, imagine getting them in your eyes. That’s what people with wet age-related macular degeneration have to do, but thanks to new research, those injections may soon be replaced by painless eyedrops.Continue Re… Continue reading Blindness-preventing eyedrops could replace ocular injections
Researchers have developed a molecule that effectively inhibits an enzyme instrumental in spreading the herpes simplex virus in humans. They say their discovery could lead to a new treatment for herpes simplex infections and other viruses, as well as d… Continue reading Molecule found that inhibits the spread of the cold sore virus
Researchers have discovered that lung-based immune cells can be “trained” to remember a previously encountered pathogen, making them more efficient at clearing out the cellular debris that accumulates during infection and reducing inflammation.Continue… Continue reading Lung immune cells “trained” to remove debris that causes inflammation
Weaning the world off fossil fuels will take some time, so finding ways to make energy generation more efficient is still important. Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a new coating for steam condenser pipes that, … Continue reading Power plant condenser coating could cut 460 million tons of CO2 per year
While studying a material that could help unlock the secrets of superconductors, scientists have accidentally discovered a “demon” particle that was first theorized almost 70 years ago, but had never been experimentally confirmed.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading “Demon particle” accidentally discovered, solving 67-year mystery
