The researchers examined blood sugar responses and other indicators from 1,070 participants in the UK and the US, sourcing data from the PREDICT (Personalised REsponses to DIetary Composition Trial) nutrition research project.  The volunteers ate standardised breakfasts, after which they were free to choose their remaining meals throughout the remainder …

Russia’s Institute of Experimental Medicine is now reportedly carrying out trials of the world’s first coronavirus vaccine that can be drunk from a bottle. Given the number of syringes and the time healthcare professionals need to give injections, it is hoped that the formula could speed up the process of …

Observing how the battle against coronavirus is progressing in 2021, it could be argued that ‘confusion’ will become the word of the year. The situation with the AstraZeneca vaccine is a clear illustration. Back in March, a number of EU states halted its use when several cases of blood clots …

In a recently published study, researchers contend that they have found a “very dynamic situation” relating to the “development of the Black Sea since the last ice age.” Their analysis of the state of gas hydrate deposits – methane trapped in water molecules that physically looks like ice – is …

The upgraded bots built on work first unveiled by scientists at Tufts University and the University of Vermont last year, improving on the design to allow them to move faster, live longer and assemble themselves to work collectively as one unit, a process known as “cellular self-organization.” Outlined in an …

“The cause of our patients’ condition has now been found,” Pal Andre Holme, the head of a research group at the Oslo University Hospital, told Norway’s VG media outlet. He was referring to the cases of three health workers under the age of 50 who suffered from severe blood clotting …

Breton was asked at Wednesday’s press briefing in Brussels whether the EU should add Sputnik V to its vaccine list in order to make sure that the bloc meets its vaccine rollout target.

The group of researchers from Australia, Germany, Switzerland, and Canada developed a non-invasive, extremely delicate sensor-belt which they wrapped around the newborn infants.  They recorded over 1,400 breaths taken by 17 infants delivered through an elective caesarean section. The images captured the process of lung aeration, or the switch from …

The research team’s incredible seven-second video, which is sped-up from 19 minutes, showcasing the printing of a hand, which would take a whopping six hours to create using conventional 3D printing methods.   “The technology we’ve developed is 10-50 times faster than the industry standard, and it works with large sample …
