Science X / Coffee doesn't just wake you up—a key biological pathway illuminates widespread health effects
For decades, research has linked coffee consumption to longer life and lower risk of chronic disease—but exactly how those benefits occur has remained unclear. Now, new research from the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine ...
Phys.org / Solar radio bursts reveal hidden magnetic switchbacks near the sun, Parker Solar Probe data suggest
Solar radio bursts are intrinsically linked to the motion of their emitting source through the coronal and heliospheric plasma. Electron transport is mostly confined to magnetic field lines. These electrons move at a substantial ...
Phys.org / Saturday Citations: In spaaa-aaace!
We're focusing on space news this week, but we did cover the usual amount of local news down here in Earth's gravity well: A new Tokamak reactor regime sustained stable plasma fusion for one full minute. An anomaly in global ...
Phys.org / A new interface to study RNA biology
Scientists at Université de Montréal's Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer have developed a new database that integrates the molecular structure of microRNAs and messenger RNAs to systematically model their interactions. ...
Medical Xpress / What do people mean when they say their nervous system is overloaded or needs a reset?
You might have heard people talking about their nervous system being "overloaded" or "dysregulated" when they're going through periods of heightened stress.
Medical Xpress / New test promises to detect cancer earlier, from tiny particles in bodily fluids
Cancer claims more than 10 million lives every year globally. Research shows that detecting cancer early can greatly improve a patient's chance of survival. And yet we lack reliable, affordable tools for early detection.
Medical Xpress / A brownie, a drink, a drive: Hidden impairment standard sobriety tests completely miss
Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have added to evidence that using cannabis edibles and alcohol together worsens driving impairment compared with consuming either substance alone. The study also found that cannabis (alone ...
Medical Xpress / People who are blind from birth never develop schizophrenia—what this tells us about the psychiatric condition
In 1950, two researchers noticed something that didn't quite add up. Hector Chevigny, a writer who had lost his sight in adulthood, and psychologist Sydell Braverman were studying the psychological lives of blind people when ...
Phys.org / Disentangling the many factors at play within exposure science
Take a brief walk outside and you're likely to encounter a wide range of things that could influence your health—the sunlight beaming on your face, a plume of exhaust, or even noise from a car driving by. Each exposure carries ...
Phys.org / Green alley effectiveness depends on design and purpose, study finds
Green alleys—residential laneways redesigned to enhance residents' quality of life, boost social cohesion and improve biodiversity—are gaining traction in cities across North America. But as the concept spreads, it remains ...
Medical Xpress / What sitting all day does to the body
For decades, one of the most prominent public health messages has been that smoking kills. But another everyday habit, far less dramatic and far more socially acceptable, may also be damaging our health: prolonged sitting.
Phys.org / Plant-based diets cut climate impact by more than half, randomized clinical trial shows
As climate change accelerates and global temperatures continue to rise, a new randomized clinical trial provides compelling evidence that one of the most powerful climate solutions may be on our plates. A study published ...
