Scientists have discovered that circadian rhythms, our internal watches, play an important role in when and how much we eat. In a carefully controlled study, adolescents consumed more food at night, especially those with greater body weight. This suggests that obesity can be influenced by internal biological processes, not just lifestyle options. The link between…
Identification of porphyrin deformation changes by low frequency RAMAN spectroscopy. Credit: Wang Shenhao A research team led by Dr. Huang Qing of the Hefei Physical Institutes of the Academy of Sciences of China has developed a new method using low frequency Raman spectroscopy to detect extremely subtle changes in the structure of porphyrine molecules ,…
When analyzing the odorants in food or their raw materials, the formation of artifacts can significantly distort the results. In a new comparative study, two investigators of the Leibniz-Institute for the biology of food systems at the Technical University of Munich have shown that the injection method in the chromatographic gas analysis of gas has…
Solar flares, the most powerful magnetic explosions in our solar system, are often accompanied by intense radio emission explosions known as solar radio explosions type III. These bursts provide valuable clues about the acceleration and transport of energy electrons in the atmosphere of the sun and beyond. Understanding these explosions is not only crucial for…
On a large scale, the universe is like a complex spider network, full of cosmic filaments of gas, dust and dark matter, separated by large gaps. Now, in a new remarkable image, the researchers captured one of these cosmic filaments that connected two galaxies since the universe had only 2 billion years. It is the…

In 2023, they passed Almost $ 26 billionAnd this year, more than $ 27.5 billion is expected to spend. Most of this is spent on sweets, 11.2% of which is chocolate. In fact, Americans will eat 58 million…
As of the 1990s, North Korea began to deforest much of its lands to serve agricultural purposes. However, only a few years later, flood problems, largely related to that same act of deforestation, led to food shortages and famines. More than 30 years later, these problems continue to affect the North Korean people. (Credit: World…
The idea that “we are what we are eaten” has been widespread for hundreds of years, and the relationship between body composition and food consumption has been investigated for a long time. The synthesis and decomposition of body protein (protein kinetics throughout the body) in response to dietary consumption has been studied for almost a…
Scorpions, a diverse group of arachnids consisting of more than 2,000 valid species, have received limited research attention in terms of their complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomas). To increase the frequency of taxonomic sampling of the species available for mythogenomous -based study, we rebuild the complete mythogenomas of five scorpions, Androctonus Amoreuxi (Audouin, 1826), Hottentotta Tamulus…
While lung cancer remains the most fatal form of cancer worldwide, people who have never smoked are forming a growing proportion of those fighting the disease. In 2022, around 2.5 million people were diagnosed with him. Less smokers in many countries, including the United States, can explain part of that change in the causality of…
