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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Beat macular degeneration with this popular diet
Once you hit the age of 50, the macula of your eye will begin to break down, and may eventually cause blindness. But that macular degeneration can be stopped if you eat the right kinds of food, especially those found in the Mediterranean diet. Age-related macular degeneration affects more than two million Americans. This number is predicted […]

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 […]

Exercise helps improve gut diversity, according to a new study
Regular physical workouts will not just make you look good and feel healthy. The beneficial bacteria that live in your gut will also flourish if you exercise a lot. On the other hand, being obese will make conditions in your gastrointestinal system less healthy for those good bacteria. In a recently concluded study, researchers at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign reported […]

Beat itchy skin – by shining a light on it?
Scientists have found a new way to relieve itchy skin without resorting to potentially harmful scratching. An experimental method devised by Italian researchers used a certain type of light to get rid of itchiness and prevent the annoying sensation from coming back for months afterward. Most people know the annoying experience of suddenly needing to scratch a particularly hard-to-reach spot […]

Regular physical exercise can help enhance your mood and address depression
A routine workout could do more than just burn fat, improve your muscle, and increase your cardio. Many animal and human studies show that physical exercise activates processes in the brain that improve your mood and amend depression over short and long periods of time. Regular bouts of physical activity could increase the amounts of mood-elevating chemicals in the brain, […]

Could virtual reality be the new classroom? Researchers are looking at ways the technology could be used for education
Virtual reality (VR) is now being touted as a powerful educational tool. In a recent experiment, students immersed themselves in a virtual simulation of the severe effects of ocean acidification. The participants displayed better grasp of the complex concept after completing the virtual lesson. Based on these findings, researchers at the University of Oregon surmised that VR could help […]
