The Chinese internet giant Baidu recently made headlines with its announcement that it would be scrapping its plans to acquire the livestreaming platform YY Live. This multi-billion-dollar deal would have catapulted Baidu into the live streaming market and diversified its revenue stream. However, the company cited government approval as one of the main roadblocks to
Diets that are higher in fat and significantly lower in carbohydrates have shown remarkable potential for reducing seizures in individuals with drug-resistant forms of epilepsy, especially in children. While researchers have observed a shift in the gut’s microflora from this type of diet, the exact nature of these changes and their connection to seizure prevalence
Regular exercise is known to have a myriad of health benefits, but recent studies have revealed a particularly intriguing link between physical activity and brain size. Contrary to popular belief, this connection does not require intense or prolonged exercise sessions. Rather, even moderate levels of physical activity can result in significant brain-boosting effects. Researchers from
India has taken a significant stride in the field of space exploration by launching its first satellite dedicated to studying black holes. The X-ray Polarimeter Satellite marks a major milestone for India, making it the second country in the world after NASA to delve into the mysteries of black holes and other celestial objects using
Heterocyclic compounds, known for their versatile and excellent physiological activities, are highly valued in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. However, the traditional methods of synthesizing these compounds often involve high temperature and pressure conditions or the use of precious metal catalysts, which add to both the economic and environmental costs. In a recent study published
With the desire to prioritize our health, there is a surge in products claiming to offer longevity and enhanced youthfulness. While genes contribute to 25% of our lifespan, the remaining 75% is determined by our daily choices and habits. To extend our lifespan and improve our health, it is crucial to adopt key principles backed
When it comes to making a healthy berry smoothie, most people would instinctively add a banana for its potassium content and creamy texture. However, recent research from the University of California Davis (UCD) suggests that bananas might have a surprising effect on the antioxidants present in the smoothie. Flavonols, a type of antioxidant found in
Vegetables are often seen as a necessary evil, a requirement for a balanced diet, but not necessarily an enjoyable part of our meals. Many of us struggle to incorporate enough vegetables into our diets, despite knowing that they are essential for our health. This reluctance towards vegetables is not entirely our fault; it is a
We often prioritize our other senses like sight and hearing, but scent is a powerful sense that is often overlooked. However, recent research suggests that fragrances can play a crucial role in maintaining cognitive health, particularly in old age. Scientists at the University of California, Irvine conducted a study that showed how enriching the air
Boeing has recently requested airlines to conduct inspections on its 737 Max jets due to a potential loose bolt in the rudder control system. This article explores the significance of these inspections and the proactive measures taken by Boeing to ensure the safety of their aircraft. Upon discovering an undelivered aircraft with an improperly tightened
The early Universe was a turbulent and dynamic era. In the aftermath of the Big Bang, star formation surged while galaxies emerged from the darkness, colliding and growing. However, interpreting the light that has traveled across vast distances and time poses a challenge, leading to occasional misinterpretations. Such is the case with the intriguing object
Traveling deep below the Earth’s surface or venturing into the heart of the sun leads to a realm where matter undergoes profound transformations on an atomic scale. The intense pressure within stars and planets can induce metals to transition into nonconducting insulators. Sodium, for instance, metamorphoses from a lustrous, gray-colored metal into a transparent, glass-like
In the year 1931, the city of Tatahouine in Tunisia witnessed a spectacular event that left locals in awe – a fireball explosion followed by hundreds of meteorite fragments raining down on the city. Little did they know that this extraordinary occurrence would go on to inspire one of the world’s most beloved film franchises,
Non-reciprocal interactions are a fascinating aspect of nature that defy the conventional laws of reciprocal forces such as gravity and electromagnetism. These interactions play a crucial role in the complex behavior exhibited by living organisms. While the mechanisms behind non-reciprocal interactions in microscopic systems like bacteria have been previously explained by external forces, a recent
