New study Finds Empathy May Persist in Alzheimer’s Patients.

Psychology, Social /

A study by University College London suggests that people with Alzheimer’s may retain empathy despite losing other social skills. The researchers found that individuals with Alzheimer’s disease had slightly higher empathy scores than those with mild cognitive impairment, despite performing worse in other areas of social cognition, like recognizing facial emotions and understanding others’ thoughts. […]

PHNX Materials Found a Way to Cut Concrete’s Carbon Footprint Using Coal Waste

Climatology, Earth Science /

Coal-fired power plants have caused considerable harm over the last hundred years, contributing to everything from climate change and acid rain to black lung disease and heart conditions. Overall, their impact has been overwhelmingly negative. However, hidden within the ashes they produce lies a surprising environmental benefit. Up to 30% Cement Replacement: How Fly Ash

Study Finds Social Media Isn’t Entirely Harmful To Teen Mental Health

Psychology, Social /

It’s well-established that social media can negatively affect teens—Meta’s own research revealed that Instagram worsens body image for one in three teen girls, and Snapchat has faced multiple lawsuits for failing to address cyberbullying. Even a former U.S. Surgeon General has warned about the risks of social media use among youth. However, a new report

XPeng Iron: Why This Robot Might Be Tesla’s Next Big Rival

Robotics, Tech /

The competition to develop humanoid robots is intensifying, and China has just raised the stakes. While Tesla continues to promote the revolutionary potential of its Optimus bot (which still struggles with basic movements), XPENG has quietly unveiled a machine that could transform how we interact with robots. The newly upgraded XPeng Iron isn’t just about

The Urgency of Climate Overshoot: Exceeding 1.5°C Is Almost Inevitable

Environmental Science /

Despite global climate goals aiming to limit warming to 1.5°C, recent data shows that this threshold is rapidly approaching. With emissions still on the rise, the planet is now edging closer to 1.4°C of warming, making a temporary overshoot of the 1.5°C target highly likely. In response, a growing conversation is emerging among scientists, policymakers,

Robots Complete a Half Marathon — at a Very Slow Pace

Robotics, Science /

Humanoid robots still have a lot of ground to cover before they can match human runners. On Saturday, Beijing’s E-Town tech hub held what it called the world’s first half-marathon for humanoid robots, featuring 21 robotic participants running alongside thousands of human competitors. According to Bloomberg, the race’s top-performing robot, Tiangong Ultra, was developed by

Wearable Stethoscope Patch Monitors Respiratory Issues Over Extended Periods

Healthcare, Medicine /

Traditional stethoscopes can detect respiratory conditions, but they only provide insights during short examinations by healthcare professionals. A new wearable device, however, can offer a more comprehensive understanding by monitoring a patient’s breathing continuously over several days. Introducing the Lung-Sound-Monitoring-Patch (LSMP) The research team, led by postdoctoral scientist Kyoung-Ryul Lee from the Korea Institute of

Strange Bacteria That Can’t Live Alone Hint at Early Steps to Complex Life

Biology, Molecular Biology, Science /

While all bacteria exist as single cells at some point in their lives, there is one remarkable exception: the multicellular magnetotactic bacteria (MMB). A Window into Evolutionary History Found in sulfide-rich sediments of a tidal salt marsh in Massachusetts, these MMBs are attracting the attention of scientists as they may offer clues about the evolutionary

Physicists Discover a New Way to Measure Time

Physics, Quantum Physics /

While in our everyday lives measuring time is simply a matter of counting the seconds between the past and the present, things work quite differently in the quantum world. At microscopic scales, events don’t follow a predictable order, and the “now” often blurs with the “before,” rendering conventional stopwatches useless in certain contexts. An Innovative
