The brain is often referred to as a supercomputer, with its complex network of neurons that help us think, learn, and make decisions. This intricate organ can be likened to a bustling city, with different parts serving specific functions, much like different areas in a city. When we have a thought, it’s like a message

The Universe never ceases to surprise us with its mysterious and awe-inspiring phenomena. Recently, astronomers have stumbled upon a colossal structure known as the Big Ring, located in the distant Universe. Spanning an astonishing 1.3 billion light-years in diameter, this ring of galaxies has left experts scratching their heads in confusion. The Big Ring defies
Plastic pollution is a global crisis that affects not only our environment but also our bodies. Microplastics, miniscule fragments of plastic, have found their way into the human body through various means such as eating, drinking, and even breathing. In a shocking revelation in 2022, scientists discovered microplastics embedded in the deepest parts of the
Sex-related headaches can vary in intensity from mild to severe, lasting anywhere between a minute to 24 hours or even up to three days. These headaches, also known as primary headache associated with sexual activity (PHASA), commonly occur around orgasm. It is important to note that PHASA is more prevalent in men than women, with
The search for extraterrestrial civilizations has always been a fascinating subject for scientists and enthusiasts alike. The idea of detecting other civilizations beyond our solar system, especially those capable of building Dyson spheres, captures the imagination. These megastructures, theorized by advanced civilizations, would allow them to harness the energy of an entire star. The concept
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been advancing rapidly in recent years, with some scientists now exploring the development of artificial superintelligence (ASI) – a form of AI that could surpass human intelligence. But what if this advancement poses a threat to the long-term survival of civilizations rather than being a remarkable achievement? This question forms the
An 18-month old British girl named Opal, who was born completely deaf, has become the youngest person to have their hearing restored after undergoing groundbreaking new gene therapy. This therapy is a result of a collaboration between UK ear surgeon Manohar Bance and the US biotech firm Regeneron. Opal’s case is significant because she has
The issue of counterfeit painkillers in the United States, particularly in Rhode Island, has reached a critical point. The ongoing opioid epidemic has been deemed a “tremendous public health crisis” in the state, ranking among the top ten states in the nation for drug overdoses. Recently, epidemiologists at Brown University have discovered troubling evidence that
Engaging in extreme exercise, such as running 10 hours a week for over 120 km, may seem like pushing the body to its breaking point. However, a recent study challenges this assumption by revealing that professional athletes who undertake such grueling routines may actually be extending their lifespan. The study, which analyzed data from the
Vaping has taken the world by storm, offering a seemingly safer alternative to traditional tobacco smoking. In the UK alone, 4.5 million people have made the switch to e-cigarettes, with flavored vapes attracting the younger generation who have never smoked before. While vaping may appear harmless on the surface, there are growing concerns about the
Recently, a groundbreaking technique in radio astronomy has allowed astronomers to unveil the lowest frequencies of the radio Universe in unprecedented clarity. Previously, the turbulent interference generated by Earth’s ionosphere posed a significant challenge in observing the radio sky below 30 megahertz. However, a team of astronomers led by Christian Groeneveld from Leiden University in
The human body is a complex system, with cells that contain a genetic code determining how proteins are made for survival. However, researchers in Lithuania have discovered that small modifications called epigenetic changes act as ‘genetic switches’, impacting the interpretation of instructions within our cells. These changes accumulate over time and are often used to
Samsung, a leading South Korean tech giant, made headlines on Wednesday with the announcement of its acquisition of the French artificial intelligence company Sonio. This move is aimed at enhancing Samsung’s cutting-edge medical diagnostic systems, particularly in the field of maternal care. The use of AI technology has been on the rise in various industries,
The development of vaccines to combat COVID-19 has been a monumental achievement in the field of science, saving countless lives across the globe. However, the devastating impact of the pandemic serves as a stark reminder of the need to prepare for and protect against future pandemic threats. Apart from SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19,
A recent study from the US has highlighted the potential health benefits of incorporating olive oil into your daily diet.
