Using advanced optical techniques, scientists have discovered the magnetic properties of altermagnets, a new, third class of magnetic materials. A Japanese team from Tohoku University studied the organic crystal and confirmed the unique properties that combine the characteristics of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, paving the way for a revolution in spintronics.
New research reveals how a specific group of neurons in the hypothalamus actively controls blood sugar levels at night. Learn how the brain prevents hypoglycemia by stimulating fat breakdown (lipolysis) and what role the overactivity of these nerve cells plays in the development of prediabetes.
New research from mit, based on an analysis of 1.2 billion social media posts, confirms a direct link between rising temperatures and worsening moods. Extreme heat above 35°C significantly increases negative feelings, and the impact is as much as three times stronger in poorer countries.
The deep problems of today's Haiti did not begin with a glorious revolution, but a century earlier. We discover how John Law's financial experiment and the collapse of the Mississippi Bubble in Paris sparked a brutal “sugar revolution” in the colony of Saint-Domingue, creating a system of slavery that forever defined the fate of that Caribbean nation.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is evolving into an intelligent, adaptive therapy that works like a 'pacemaker for the brain'. Discover how this personalized approach, which 'listens' to brain waves and acts on demand, offers new hope to patients with severe Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, depression, and OCD
Researchers from Northwestern University and the Toyota Institute have developed a revolutionary "megalibrary" method for rapid material discovery. In record time, they found a new, inexpensive ruthenium- and cobalt-based catalyst that successfully replaces costly iridium in green hydrogen production, opening the path to clean energy
