A new study finds that high-intensity exercise reduces hunger more effectively than moderate workouts, especially for women. Published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society, the research suggests that this approach may be a valuable tool in weight management by helping to naturally curb appetite. The study centers on ghrelin, a hormone responsible for stimulating […]

Brain Injuries May Raise the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease, Say Researchers
Scientists at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center have gotten the evidence that traumatic brain injuries (TBI) could heighten the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This study had involved both animal models and human brain tissue. It sheds light on how TBIs may trigger harmful protein build-ups in the brain, leading to cognitive issues […]
Boeing’s Intelsat 33e Satellite Shatters in Orbit, Leaving 20 Pieces of Debris
Boeing’s Intelsat 33e, a large communications satellite, unexpectedly broke apart in orbit over the weekend, creating at least 20 pieces of space debris. The satellite, which provided broadband communication services to regions across Europe, Africa, and Asia, was operating from a geostationary orbit above the Indian Ocean before it stopped functioning on 19 October 2024. […]
JWST Spots Isolated Supermassive Black Hole-Powered Quasars in the Early Universe
Astronomers have uncovered something surprising while looking 13 billion years into the past using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). They’ve spotted supermassive black hole-powered quasars that appear to be hanging out in isolation. This is odd because, according to current theories, black holes need to be surrounded by a lot of material to grow […]
6,000-Year-Old Wheel Origin Discovered in Carpathian Mountains; Study Suggests Copper Miners Created World’s 1st Wheel
A recent study proposes that the wheel, one of the most transformative inventions in human history, could have first been developed by copper miners in the Carpathian Mountains around 6,000 years ago. This theory, based on a detailed modelling study, suggests that the unique environment of these mining regions may have played a crucial role […]
Milky Way Could Be Part of a Much Larger Cosmic Structure, Possibly Linked to the Shapley Concentration
Recent research has led to a new understanding of our galaxy’s position within the universe. A fresh study suggests that the Milky Way may reside in a much larger “basin of attraction” than previously assumed. This discovery challenges what we know about our galactic surroundings, revealing that the supercluster which houses the Milky Way could […]
STAR1 Robot Breaks Record with Sneakers, Reaches 8Mph in Gobi Desert Test
A new humanoid robot from China has set a record by running at a top speed of just over 8 miles per hour (3.6 metres per second). This makes it the fastest bipedal robot to date, although this feat was only achieved with the help of a pair of specially added trainers. Known as STAR1, […]
Prolonged Standing Poses Circulatory Health Risks, Study Suggests
Standing desks have become a popular alternative for office workers looking to break up long hours of sitting. However, a study led by the University of Sydney raises concerns about their effectiveness in improving heart health. The research, which involved more than 80,000 adults in the UK, suggests that standing for extended periods may not […]
New Project Aims to Relocate Oyamel Fir Trees to Protect Monarch Butterflies
An innovative project aimed at cultivating new oyamel fir forests in central Mexico holds promise for the survival of monarch butterflies, which rely on these trees for their winter hibernation. The ongoing threat of climate change has raised concerns that these crucial habitats could vanish by the end of the century. Researchers initiated this experiment […]
Can Diamond Dust Help Cool Earth? Exploring Costs and Geoengineering Risks
Injecting diamond dust into the atmosphere could potentially cool the planet by 1.6ºC, according to a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters. Led by Sandro Vattioni, a climate scientist at ETH Zürich, the research explores whether diamonds, as opposed to commonly used materials like sulfur, could offer a safer and more effective method for […]
