Researchers have developed a new method for predicting dementia with over 80% accuracy and up to nine years before a diagnosis. The new method provides a more accurate way to predict dementia than memory tests or measurements of brain shrinkage, two commonly used methods for diagnosing dementia.
Current crises are distracting from the climate crisis and weakening support for climate action, a Europe-wide survey reveals.
People with high blood pressure have a higher risk of cognitive impairment, including dementia, but a new study suggests that engaging in vigorous physical activity more than once a week can lower that risk.
New research has found that teachers may be attributing signs of age-related immaturity in children, to conditions such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The results of the study showed that the youngest students in a class, with birth dates just before the school entry cut-off date, were overrepresented among children receiving an ADHD diagnosis or medication for the condition. Experts looked at how being one of the youngest children in a class can influence the likelihood of being diagnosed with ADHD or ASD. ADHD is a condition where individuals have significant challenges with attention and can be overly active. ASD is a complex developmental condition that relates to how a person communicates and interacts.
The number of calls about intentional exposures, such as illegal drug overdoses, that resulted in death among adults increased a whopping 233.9% between the beginning of 2007 and the end of 2021. And that's just one of several troubling poisoning trends.
A highly sensitive diamond quantum magnetometer utilizing nitrogen-vacancy centers can achieve millimeter-scale resolution magnetoencephalography (MEG). The novel magnetometer, based on continuous-wave optically detected magnetic resonance, marks a significant step towards realizing ambient condition MEG and other practical applications.
Engineers have created a patent-pending method that creates layered perovskite nanowires with exceptionally well-defined and flexible cavities that exhibit a wide range of unusual optical properties beyond conventional perovskites.
The swirl of milk and espresso -- a small storm in your mug -- doesn't impact the dynamics of the milk proteins, according to research. Researchers took a molecular view of how milk proteins and caffeine molecules interact in water and in a coffee drink. The results suggest that the structures of milk proteins remain intact, meaning they retain their original mouthfeel and taste in your morning brew.

Usually, the sulphur dioxide in the smoke of a volcano cools the earth’s surface for a short period. This didn’t happen for Hunga Tonga.
With the new technique developed by the Institute of Advanced Virology, it will now be possible to conduct tests crucial for the development of vaccines in biosafety level-2 labs. Now, such tests are done only in biosafety level-4 labs, because of the extreme precautions required. The newly developed particles closely resemble viruses, but are non-infectious
