Time-restricted eating (TRE) has gained popularity as a potential strategy for weight loss. A recent study compared TRE with a usual eating pattern (UEP) to determine the effects on weight loss and overall health outcomes. The results of the study shed light on whether it is the reduction in overall food intake or the daily

The quest for more efficient energy generation and storage is driving scientists to explore innovative and unconventional ideas. From nuclear fusion breakthroughs to increasingly efficient solar panels, the focus is on maximizing energy output while minimizing environmental impact. However, the challenge of storing and distributing this energy efficiently remains a significant hurdle. Two physicists have
The Invisibility Shield 2.0 promises to offer users the illusion of invisibility, but falls short of providing true invisibility. While it may appear convincing when viewed from directly in front, there are limitations to its effectiveness. Viewers may still see a faint outline and blurring, diminishing the overall invisibility effect. This raises questions about the
Psychosis is a complex mental health condition characterized by disconnections from reality, including hallucinations and delusions. Recent research conducted by a team from Stanford University has shed light on the underlying brain dysfunctions associated with psychosis. The study identified abnormalities in two specific brain systems that play a crucial role in filtering attention to important
In a recent study exploring the world of quantum topology, physicists stumbled upon a groundbreaking discovery on the surface of an arsenic crystal. This discovery shocked the scientific community, as it revealed a rare hybrid of two distinct quantum states, each describing a different form of current. Lead physicist M. Zahid Hasan of Princeton University
The discovery of antibiotics in 1928 revolutionized modern medicine by transforming the treatment of infectious diseases. However, overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, causing millions of deaths worldwide each year. The threat of superbugs looms large in global public health, necessitating innovative solutions to combat antibiotic resistance. Recent
Feeling angry is a natural human emotion that can often be hard to control. However, a new study conducted by researchers from Nagoya University in Japan has found a simple yet effective way to dissipate anger: by writing down feelings of anger and then disposing of the paper. This study involved 98 participants and revealed
The interest in psychedelics is growing both in scientific circles and among the public. These are powerful substances capable of altering perception, mood, and various mental processes. They also show promise for treating a wide range of mental health disorders. However, for their use to be safe and effective, it’s important to understand how they
Health care providers and patients have long believed that infections acquired in hospitals are due to superbugs present in medical facilities. However, new genetic data reveals that most health care-associated infections actually stem from harmless bacteria already residing on patients’ bodies prior to their hospital admission. Research indicates that these bacteria, part of the natural
In the dark annals of history, tales of the gruesome practices of Countess Elizabeth Báthory have left a lasting impression on our collective psyche. Accused of murdering hundreds of girls to bathe in their blood for eternal youth, the countess embodies the extremes to which individuals may go in pursuit of everlasting beauty. While such
