Urinating after sex is important for flushing out the urethra and reducing the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). While it might not be the first thing on your mind after an intimate moment, scientific evidence supports the common advice passed down among women—whether from friends, family, or neighbors—that peeing afterward can protect your urinary […]

A study in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology sheds new light on how makeup affects perceptions of beauty. Researchers from Bangor and Aberdeen universities aimed to scientifically examine how varying makeup levels influence attractiveness. They photographed a group of female volunteers wearing full makeup and then digitally modified the images to produce versions ranging

Researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) have analyzed the precise hand gestures in Bharatanatyam, a classical Indian dance, uncovering a more complex “alphabet” of movement than typical hand grasps. This research could enhance robot hand movement training and provide improved tools for physical therapy. Ramana Vinjamuri, a professor at UMBC and the

EPFL researchers have incorporated waste crustacean shells into robotic systems, harnessing the natural material’s durability and flexibility to enhance robotic performance. While many roboticists draw inspiration from nature, they typically build even biologically inspired robots from artificial materials such as metals, plastics, and composites. A new experimental robotic manipulator from EPFL’s Computational Robot Design and
A research team from Switzerland and Japan has closely examined how the virus behaves. Using a self-developed microscopy technique, the scientists can focus on the outer surface of human cells in a Petri dish, allowing them to observe in real time the precise moment an influenza virus enters a living cell. Led by Yohei Yamauchi,

In the future, small flying robots could be used to help locate survivors trapped under rubble after a major earthquake. Much like insects, these robots would be able to navigate through narrow gaps that larger machines cannot, while avoiding obstacles and falling debris. Until now, aerial microrobots have only been able to fly slowly along

The microorganisms living in our bodies assist in digesting food and affect our overall health, though their exact role—particularly when prescription medications are involved—is not always fully understood. Researchers have now detailed in ACS Central Science how one of the most prevalent gut bacteria reacts to tetracyclines, a widely used class of antibiotics. The bacterium

From Halloween candy to Thanksgiving pies and holiday cookies, the end of the year is filled with chances to indulge in sugar. But what actually happens in your mouth during the first minutes and hours after eating those treats? While most people know that excessive sugar can lead to cavities—or tooth damage—you may be less
