Just add sugar: Research shows common antioxidant can be more beneficial through glycosylation
New research shows that polyphenolic compounds, which are commonly found in fruits and vegetables, can be combined with sugar molecules to create potential life-saving drugs......»»
Researchers isolate key compounds in the aroma of walnuts
A research team from the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich has analyzed the aroma of walnut kernels and deciphered the underlying odorant code. As the team shows for the first time, the typical walnut ar.....»»
Climate change releases carbon stocks deep underground: Study
Subsoils are the largest storehouses for carbon, as well as one of the most important sources of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Global warming is accelerating the decomposition of soil humus. It is also affecting the waxy and woody compounds which.....»»

Study describes the melting of gold nanoparticles in gold-bearing fluids in the Earth"s crust
Gold is a precious metal that has always fascinated humans. From Priam's Treasure to the legend of El Dorado, gold—regarded as the noblest of metals—has been a symbol of splendor and wealth in many civilizations. Historically, gold deposits were.....»»
Astronomers discover supernova explosion through rare "cosmic magnifying glasses"
According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, time and space are fused together in a quantity known as spacetime. The theory suggests that massive objects, like a galaxy or galaxy clusters, can cause spacetime to curve......»»
Trees as old as time: Using tree resin to reconstruct million-year old ecosystems
Fossil tree resins open a window into the deep past as their organic compounds, termed biomarkers, can be used to identify the botanical provenance of these ancient trees, as well as the paleoenvironmental conditions in which they grew. Amber, one su.....»»
I hated 3D movies, until Disney"s live action "Little Mermaid"
3D movies suck for me. As a glasses-wearer whose best attempt at contact lenses was almost an episode of ER (still out here with ER references!), I've got to pop those wraparound bad boys over my own frames. It's not subtle. Notting Hill-era Hugh Gra.....»»
New model offers a way to speed up drug discovery
Huge libraries of drug compounds may hold potential treatments for a variety of diseases, such as cancer or heart disease. Ideally, scientists would like to experimentally test each of these compounds against all possible targets, but doing that kind.....»»
Ocean Currents Are Slowing, With Potentially Devastating Effects
Melting Antarctic ice is disrupting the movement of deep seawater, which could further destabilize weather patterns around the world......»»
This one, crucial thing will make or break the Apple Vision Pro
If Apple really wants the Vision Pro headset to succeed, it needs to think really seriously about how people who wear glasses use it......»»
Scientists detect exponential relaxation spectrum in glasses
Prof. Wang Junqiang's team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the exponential relaxation events during the recovery process of glasses, providing solid evidence that.....»»
Droughts increasingly reduce carbon dioxide uptake in the tropics, finds study
Plants take in CO2 to grow. They extract it from the atmosphere and use it to build organic compounds by means of photosynthesis and water. Terrestrial ecosystems have absorbed an average of about 32 percent of CO2 emissions caused by human activity.....»»
Rocks beneath Antarctic Ice Sheet reveal surprising past
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is shrinking, with many glaciers across the region retreating and melting at an alarming rate. However, this was not always the case according to new research published last month (April 28) in The Cryosphere......»»
This neat idea could stop your GPU cables from melting — but there’s a catch
Asus thinks it has an idea to save your graphics card cables from melting, but there is a pretty significant catch. Will it work, or does it miss the mark?.....»»
