Groundbreaking Study Links Keto Diet to Reduced Memory LossUC Davis research indicates that a ketogenic diet could delay early Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice by boosting beta-hydroxybutyrate levels, improving memory and cognitive functions. The ketogenic diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat, and moderate protein diet, which shifts the body’s metabolism fro

Affecting 25% of the Population: Researchers Pioneer Potential Treatment for Global Liver ConditionRepurposing drugs gives old medicines new life. A study led by the University of Barcelona suggests pemafibrate, a drug currently used in Japan to enhance blood lipid levels in hyperlipidemia patients, particularly diabetics, could be effective in treating liver disease linked to metabolic disorder

Europe’s First Farmers Mysteriously Disappeared 5,000 Years Ago – Scientists May Have Figured Out WhyAncient DNA extracted from bones and teeth suggests that the plague contributed to a decline in Stone Age populations. New research challenges earlier assumptions, indicating that the plague impacted Europe's populations well before the significant outbreaks in the Middle Ages. In 14th-century Eu

Humans And Neanderthals Had a Longer, More Intertwined Relationship Than We ThoughtNeanderthals and modern humans had a fascinatingly intertwined past.

Surprising ring sheds light on galaxy formationThe question of what triggers the extremely rapid star formation within Hyper Luminous Infrared Galaxies (HyLIRGs), as yet unknown, is of much interest to guide our understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies in the universe. A new photo released by the European Southern Observatory shows a HyLIRG 10,000 times brighter than our Milky Way (in infrared light)—the distant galaxy PJ0116-24—and was released in conjunction with a newly published paper in Nature Astronomy that sheds light on its formation.

What Could Explain the Gallium Anomaly? | Quanta MagazinePhysicists have ruled out a mundane explanation for the strange findings of an old Soviet experiment, leaving open the possibility that the results point to a new fundamental particle.

Study Confirms: Narcissism Lessens as We AgeNarcissism decreases with age, but people who are more narcissistic as children tend to remain so as adults. Research from a comprehensive study indicates that while narcissistic traits generally decrease from childhood to old age, individual levels compared to peers remain consistent. The study, w

Superlubricity study shows a frictionless state can be achieved at macroscaleThe president of SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly), Dr. Winston "Wole" Soboyejo, and postdoctoral researcher Dr. Tabiri Kwayie Asumadu have published a paper titled, "Robust Macroscale Superlubricity on Carbon-Coated Metallic Surfaces." This paper explores an innovative approach to reducing friction on metallic surfaces—a significant advancement that could have major real-world impacts.

New geological datings place the first European hominids in the south of the Iberian Peninsula 1.3 million years agoOne of the most important controversies about human evolution and expansion is when and by what route the first hominids arrived in Europe from the African continent. Now, geological dating techniques at the Orce sites (Baza basin, Granada, Spain) place the human remains found in this area as the oldest in Europe, at approximately 1.3 million years old. These results reinforce the hypothesis that humans arrived in Europe through the south of the Iberian Peninsula, through the Strait of Gibraltar, instead of returning to the Mediterranean via the Asian route.
