Research suggests that walking at least 5,000 steps a day can help mitigate the health risks associated with extended periods of sitting. This daily activity level is sufficient to offset some of the negative impacts of a sedentary lifestyle, promoting…
Recent research highlights that different forms of strength training exercises are equally effective in promoting muscle growth. The key to muscle development lies in the consistency and intensity of the workouts, rather than the specific type of exercise performed.
A new Wi-Fi technology promises to power small electronic devices without the need for batteries. By harnessing ambient Wi-Fi signals, this innovation could extend the life of devices like sensors and wearables, making them more sustainable and reducing electronic waste.…
A new study claims a physics equations pattern follows a simple law. We explain the idea, how it differs from Zipf’s law, and what it means for AI search.
Could physical laws share a universal mathematical grammar? A new preprint finds a simple pattern in equations that could speed up AI equation discovery.
Researchers report that phytoene, a natural carotenoid pigment found in many fruits and vegetables, helped laboratory worms live longer and show fewer signs linked to Alzheimer’s disease. In tests with the model animal Caenorhabditis elegans, phytoene lengthened lifespan and delayed…
Reactivating positive memories during non-REM sleep can weaken the recall of associated negative memories. This sleep-based technique, known as targeted memory reactivation (TMR), involves presenting auditory cues linked to positive experiences during sleep, leading to a reduction in negative memory…
Openness is a personality trait that means seeking and enjoying new and unfamiliar things. Research in psychology and neuroscience links greater openness with benefits for thinking and mood. People who are more open tend to explore more, learn faster, and…
After age 40, the brain undergoes significant reorganization, integrating its networks more extensively. This shift aims to optimize function with diminishing resources and aging structures. While this “rewiring” can affect executive functions like flexible thinking and abstract reasoning, tasks reliant…
