Europe Launches Atomic Clocks to Test Einstein's Theories in Space

In a groundbreaking mission, Europe has dispatched two atomic clocks into space to enhance our understanding of the relationship between gravity and time. The initiative aims to provide synchronized time measurements globally and to validate key principles of Albert Einstein's theories on gravity. The atomic clocks, integrated into a system known as Aces (Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space), were launched aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The capsule,...

Chemesthetic Sensitivity Influences Dietary Choices

Chemesthetic Sensitivity Influences Dietary Choices

April 22, 2025 • 03:00 PM

A recent study conducted at the University of Helsinki has revealed that individual chemesthetic perception, which relates to chemically induced sensations in the mouth, can significantly influence dietary habits and preferences. This doctoral research, led by Doctoral Researcher Sulo Roukka, MSc, examined the relationship between chemesthetic sensitivity and food consumption patterns among participants. Chemesthesis refers to the ability to perceive certain chemical stimuli that evoke tactile...

Orangutan Demonstrates Self-Medication Using Medicinal Plant for Wound Treatment

April 22, 2025 • 03:00 PM

When faced with minor injuries like a cut finger, many of us resort to self-treatment before seeking medical assistance. However, in the dense foliage of the jungle, great apes lack access to conventional medical supplies. Despite this, recent observations suggest that at least some individuals possess knowledge of wound management techniques utilizing natural remedies. A recent study published in the scientific journal Scientific Reports sheds light on this phenomenon. Biologists from the Max...

In 2023, We Became Lost in Neverland on Climate Change

April 22, 2025 • 03:00 PM

This year, the UN, governments and even some scientists lost their collective minds on climate change. In July, UNSecretary-General António Guterressaid: "Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning. Children swept away by monsoon rains, families running from the flames (and) workers collapsing in scorching heat." Guterres now claims that "the era of global warming has ended" and "the era of global boiling has arrived." Three months later, Icelandic Prime Minister...

New method improves measurement of brain activity

New method improves measurement of brain activity

April 22, 2025 • 03:00 PM

Measuring the activity of the human brain on a cell-by-cell basis was previously only possible to a very limited extent. Researchers at Klinikum Rechts der Isar at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed an approach that makes this much easier. They rely on microelectrodes and the support of brain tumor patients: During waking surgeries, they take part in studies. The team was thus able to show how our brain processes numbers. We think about numbers every day. On the one hand,...

April 22, 2025 • 03:00 PM

Online court hearings are becoming increasingly important. Since the Corona crisis, courts have been increasingly working on the introduction of digital court processes. The advantages: Court proceedings can be carried out more quickly and the parties involved no longer have to travel long distances. In addition to the smoother and more efficient court operations, cost and time savings speak in favor of the virtual processes. Critics, on the other hand, point to the necessary technology that is...
