“Tuning the trigger temperature is only one part of the story,” says Mitch Anthamatten, a chemical engineering professor at the University of Rochester. “We also engineered these materials to store large amount of elastic...
Researchers from the University of Rochester find that compounds derived from omega-3 fatty acids—like those found in salmon or sardines—might be the key to helping the body fight lung infections, the new study suggests. In...
Physicists have set a quantum record by using photons to carry messages from electrons over a distance of 1.2 miles. The work advances a long-standing problem in quantum physics—how to send “entangled” particles over long...
Engineers have made a discovery that could make large-scale solar power storage a reality. The breakthrough is based on the fact that ordinary metal oxides, such as rust, can be fashioned into solar cells capable...
Poly Solar Cell Researchers from UCLA have discovered some key tenets for developing better, high-efficiency solar cells than what we presently have available. Solar cells are used for storing the suns natural energy. Solar cells provide...
A new imaging study from the UC Davis Health System offers new insight on brain metabolism,the impacts of exercise on the brain and how exercise can play a significant role in depression therapy. It’s been...
The ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan has highlighted just how harmful lead contamination is. What you may not realize, however, is that lead exposure is a problem throughout the U.S. The Centers for Disease...
No matter how much we exercise or how many wheatgrass smoothies we slurp, our bodies still age. As the years pass, skin wrinkles, eyesight falters, hearing fades. It’s called senescence—the natural course of aging. All...
Continuing where we left off last week, we finish looking at the Top 5 biggest myths about the flu. To discover the top 3 myths debunked last week, see 5 Biggest Myths About the Flu Part I . MYTH...
Researcher Elodie Ghedin of NYU’s Center for Genomics and Systems Biology and the College of Global Public Health is an expert on the flu. She recently coauthored a paper in Nature Genetics about how minor flu strains—those not...
New evidence suggests chronic stress may stimulate production of a protein that then goes on to block an enzyme that breaks down body fat. Its role in stress brings new attention to the protein, called betatrophin,...
With over 29 million people living in the US having diabetes, finding better methods of https://carbomer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/fossil-1.jpgistering insulin is a top priority for scientists. A new insulin pill is being developed to help people manage...
Researchers from Rice University have published a new study showing the link between chronic stress leading to chronic inflammation and ending in chronic depression. According to the researchers, chronic inflammation in the bloodstream can...
In a recent study at Yale University, researchers are hopeful they have finally found a new sunscreen doesn’t penetrate the skin, which could eliminate the health concerns associated with it. While this may sound confusing,...
Penn State Researchers were able to reverse fatty liver disease in obese and diabetic mice after feeding them bile acid. The bile acid, in turn, worked by turning off a receptor in the gut tied...
