New data shows that the symptoms suffered by people with advanced Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias who live in the community occur at a strikingly similar rate to those of dementia patients in a nursing home.
Researchers have found that the more urban of an environment a child lived in — proximity to roads, houses with lead paint risks, families in poverty, and income disparity — the greater number of psychotic like experiences they had over a year’s time.
Producing chocolate, one of the world’s most beloved sweets, is a multistep process beginning with freshly harvested cocoa beans. People have been experimenting with chocolate-making for millennia, and even today, new methods are still being introduced…
Wildlife watchers generally welcome species that have arrived in the UK due to climate change, new research suggests.
While most missions to the moon and other planets rely upon solar power, scientists have assumed that any extended surface mission involving humans would require a more reliable source of energy: nuclear power. Improvements in photovoltaics are upendin…
Hydrogen production using sunlight energy (solar-water splitting) has gained much attention in the quest to move towards carbon-neutral technologies. If chemical products with applications in the health and food industries could be produced at the same…
The South American coati is a medium-sized mammal with a wide distribution in South America. Despite this, it is endangered in southern Brazil, primarily because of the loss of forest habitats. Researchers recorded an individual at the Canoas Airbase, …
A research team has developed a bimodal photoacoustic/ ultrasound imaging technology for the human foot.
New research has identified a blood biomarker that could help identify people with the earliest signs of dementia, even before the onset of symptoms.
The likelihood of developing high cholesterol — a risk factor for heart disease and stroke — was higher among white men and white women who experienced abuse during childhood, according to a study of more than 5,000 Black and white adults in the U.S….
New research describes how the modulation of the geometry of a helical reactor at a macroscopic level enables controlling the sign of chirality of a process at a nanometric scale, an unprecedented discovery to date in the scientific literature.
The lake level of the Dead Sea is currently dropping by more than one meter every year — mainly because of the heavy water consumption in the catchment area. However, very strong lake level drops due to climate changes are also known from earlier time…
According to folklore, silver bullets kill werewolves, but in the real world, researchers want to harness this metal to fight another deadly foe: bacteria. Recently, scientists have tried to develop a silver coating for implantable medical devices to p…
An experimental plant-based jet fuel could increase engine performance and efficiency, while dispensing with aromatics, the pollution-causing compounds added to conventional fuels, according to new research.
With the pervasive single-use masks during the pandemic now presenting an environmental problem, researchers have demonstrated the idea of incorporating old masks into a cement mixture to create stronger, more durable concrete.
