Can changing what you eat make your body biologically younger? Scientists studied 104 older adults for 4 weeks and found a surprising clueA University of Sydney study explored how diet impacts biological aging in older adults. Participants aged sixty-five to seventy-five showe...- Alzheimer’s may affect more than brain cells — scientists discover DNA’s 3D shape is changing in ways that could reveal hidden causes of memory lossNew research reveals Alzheimer's disease alters DNA's three-dimensional organization within brain cells. These structural changes influence...
- In 1997, Japanese researchers flew silkworm eggs on STS-84 to study spaceflight effects; developmental abnormalities were more frequent in the flight samplesSilkworm eggs revealed developmental abnormalities in early space experiments. Later, the Rad Silk investigation examined cosmic radiation'...
- Does smoking protect against Parkinson’s? A study of half a million people points to carbon monoxide, revealing a surprising clue in cigarette smokeA recent study indicates that carbon monoxide might be responsible for lowering the risk of Parkinson's disease, as opposed to nicotine. Re...
- Orangutans have the longest birth gap among mammals; a 2018 study explains how their 7.6-year wait for another baby, scarce forest fruit and solitary life may actually help them surviveOrangutans face rapid decline with fewer than 11,900 individuals remaining. Females reproduce slowly, averaging over seven years between bi...
- DNA strands should repel each other — it took 20 years for scientists to finally discover the tiny molecular “zipper” that brings them togetherScientists have observed DNA molecules overcoming electrical repulsion to zip together. Positively charged metal ions act as bridges, facil...
- In Sydney, UTS researchers tested a biosolar green roof that cut panel temperatures by up to 9.63°C and increased maximum solar output by up to 107%, depending on the monthA biosolar roof system serves to cool solar panels, thereby boosting their electricity generation potential. By nurturing vegetation below ...

- California researchers mixed discarded tomato waste into soil and covered it for biosolarization. The decomposing food waste raised temperatures by about 2°C and created conditions that could help kill soil pestsCalifornia researchers explored an unusual way to reuse discarded tomato waste by mixing tomato pomace into soil for biosolarization. The d...
