Laser Exposure Unlocks a Previously Unseen Color for Humans

Biology, Biotechnology, Tech /

Just when we think we’ve experienced the full spectrum of visible color, scientists have reportedly discovered a way to reveal a brand-new hue to the human eye — a color that’s never before been perceived. They’ve named it Olo. Before diving into the details, it’s worth noting how participants in the study described this color:

Brown Rice Has More Arsenic – But It’s Still Worth Eating

Agriculture, Food, Healthcare /

A recent study in the US confirms that brown rice has higher levels of arsenic compared to white rice. Understandably, this might raise some eyebrows — arsenic is a well-known toxic element. However, the concentrations found in brown rice are far below any threshold that would pose a danger to human health. And just like

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.

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
