Cannabigerol (CBG), a lesser-known compound found in cannabis plants, is starting to gain recognition for its potential benefits. Often referred to as the “mother of all cannabinoids,” CBG has the ability to metabolize rapidly into CBD and THC. While CBD is widely known for its non-intoxicating properties and therapeutic potential, CBG is emerging as a

Dr. Jin Gu Kang and his research team at the Nanophotonics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of cooling technology. They have successfully developed a colorful radiation-cooling liquid crystal material that not only cools without the need for external power but also
Human colonies on Mars have long been a topic of interest for scientists and space enthusiasts alike. However, the harsh conditions on the red planet, particularly its freezing temperatures, pose a significant challenge to the survival of warm-blooded creatures. In order to make Mars habitable for humans, terraforming strategies need to be developed to heat
In the field of biomedical research, the measurement of body mass in mice has always been a critical metric for assessing overall health and predicting potential health issues. Traditionally, researchers have relied on methods that involve removing mice from their cages and placing them on a scale. However, not only is this process stressful for
The goal of achieving a high level of precision in creating complex medicines and materials has long been a focus for scientists and pharmaceutical companies. This precision could potentially lead to the development of more effective drug treatments. The recent research conducted by scientists at the University of Rochester, under the leadership of Shauna Paradine,
Nature has always been a valuable resource for scientists trying to unravel the mysteries of the world’s most pressing challenges. In the case of global warming, Earth’s geological history provides a unique and long-term perspective on the issue. Throughout history, the planet has experienced periods of catastrophic volcanic eruptions that have released vast amounts of
The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, as the name suggests, are one of the driest places on Earth. The low humidity and lack of rain make it a unique environment where microscopic organisms such as rotifers, tardigrades, and nematodes thrive. The region is surrounded by mountains that prevent melting glacier water from entering the valleys,
In a groundbreaking development in quantum technology, researchers at TMOS and RMIT University have introduced a new 2D quantum sensing chip using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). This cutting-edge chip is designed to detect temperature anomalies and magnetic fields in any direction, paving the way for more versatile and cost-effective quantum sensors. The Limitations of Diamond-Based
Type 2 diabetes affects over half a billion individuals globally, and despite the lack of a cure, many patients can achieve remission through healthy lifestyle modifications. One potential approach is adopting a diet rich in soups and shakes, as demonstrated by a year-long program conducted by England’s National Health Service (NHS). The initial results of
In a groundbreaking study conducted by scientists at the University of Akron and the University of Pittsburgh, long-held beliefs about the role of water in adhesion have been challenged. Led by Dr. Ali Dhinojwala, the research team discovered that under controlled conditions, water can actually enhance adhesion, contrary to the widely accepted notion that water
When we look at Venus and Earth, it is hard to believe that these two planets were once very similar in their geological past. Earth is a haven of life, with lush vegetation, flowing oceans, and moderate temperatures. In contrast, Venus is a hostile environment, with toxic clouds, acid rain, and scorching temperatures. However, recent
Natural disasters such as earthquakes can have devastating effects, especially when they trigger secondary hazards such as landslides. Researchers have been exploring the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data to rapidly predict earthquake-triggered landslides, as demonstrated in a recent study on the 2022 Luding earthquake in China’s Sichuan Province. The study, conducted by
The idea of growing functional human organs outside the body has long been considered the “holy grail” of organ transplantation medicine. Recent research from Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) has made significant strides in making this dream a reality. By utilizing a
Organofluorine compounds, known as “forever chemicals,” have been identified as a growing concern due to their presence in drinking water, oceans, and human blood. The potential threat they pose to the environment and human health has sparked interest in finding ways to track and trace these compounds to their sources. These chemicals are characterized by
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our society, with applications ranging from facial recognition to game-playing algorithms. A recent study conducted by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis has shed light on the unexpected impact of human behavior on AI training. The study revealed that participants in an experiment adjusted their
