Theory of “aging plateau” debunked: Aging does not “stop” in old age
A recently published study refuted the long-standing belief that the aging process will slow down or even stop once a person has reached a certain age. Instead, it declared that there is no such thing as an “aging plateau” – people were going to continue getting older as the years went by. Researchers came up with the aging […]

What’s phase-change memory? It could be the future of smart devices and AI
A team of British and Singaporean researchers have been tweaking phase-change memory for a while now. Their labors finally bore fruit in the latest iteration of the memory storage technology: A phase-change random access memory system that not only altered its phase very quickly, but also boasted great stability during changes. Most compact computer storage devices […]

New exoplanet roughly twice the size of Earth discovered within the “habitable zone”
The wealth of data from the deactivated Kepler space telescope continues to guide researchers to potential exoplanets. Just recently, civilian volunteers came across an important clue that led to the confirmation of yet another new planet. Called K2-288Bb, the planet was found within the “habitable zone” of a dim star in the Taurus constellation. Experts remain divided as to whether it […]

Acupressure therapy can help relieve pain stemming from musculoskeletal disorders. Due to its very nature and purpose, the musculoskeletal system is constantly in use, even when a person is nominally at rest. In addition to the typical wear and tear inflicted […]

Researchers develop eco-friendly catalysts that can be used to produce renewable raw materials for plastic products
Japanese researchers debuted a new compound that can accelerate the oxidation of the sugar-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and turn it into raw material for bioplastics. The new catalyst is also sustainable since it can further reduce the dependency on fossil fuels that are currently used to create most plastics and associated catalysts. Most raw materials for plastics are […]

Researchers develop a unique sensor that can detect counterfeit olive oil
The health benefits and flavor of olive oil make it a very desirable product. However, that same high value also makes it a common target for counterfeiters. To stop the spread of fake olive oil, a Spanish-American effort presented a portable sensor that can authenticate olive oil. The two most valuable types of olive oil are […]

Study reveals glass knifefish use tiny active sensing motions to keep track of their surroundings
Researchers are finally beginning to understand how the brain of an organism controls its active senses. An experiment with glass knifefish (Eigenmannia virescens) revealed that the tiny active sensing motions performed by the animal are controlled via sensory feedback. The tiny movements increase the accuracy of the data that is being sent to the brain of the fish. These […]

Plants can “remember” environmental changes and adapt, researchers discover
No plant in the world has a feature that’s remotely similar to a brain. However, British researchers recently found out that flowering plants contained proteins that can store information about changes in their environment, such as shifts in temperatures when one season gave way to another. These data served as “memories” for a plant. When the plant experienced stimuli that matched […]

New study finds that 100 PERCENT of sea turtles have plastics in their bellies
The next time you come across a sea turtle in the wild, remember that there are pieces of plastic trash inside the animal’s belly. And if that is not stomach-churning enough for you, imagine the damage caused by jagged pieces of toxic pollutant tumbling inside your belly. Researchers in the United Kingdom raised this issue after checking more than 100 […]

Physician burnout linked to stress caused by using electronic health records
A new survey warned that electronic health records (EHR) might be causing serious levels of stress for health care providers. Indeed, the use of these health information technologies could possibly be responsible for job burnout in the sector. Technology is just one of the many factors that are associated with burnout in health care providers. […]
