A team of materials scientists from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich has developed a new “living” material that incorporates cyanobacteria and absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2). Over time, it hardens and can be used in construction.
Thanks to the cyanobacteria, this new material is photosynthetic. This means it can chemically convert carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water into oxygen and sugars that promote growth.
With the right nutrients, the material can also transform CO2 i…
Start by cutting the cleaned duck into portions and seasoning it with salt and caraway seeds. In a pan, sauté sliced onions in fat until they’re soft, then layer the duck portions on top of the onions. Cover and braise for about an hour, adding water or broth as needed. Chop the cabbage and mix it with grated apple, sprinkle with sugar, and place this mixture on top of the duck. Pour in a glass of red wine and bake in the oven. Before serving, arrange the duck on a plate alongside some toasted c…
Previous research has linked intermittent fasting to benefits such as weight loss and a reduced risk of developing dementia. However, a new study by an international team of scientists led by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has revealed that this type of fasting may actually increase the risk of cancer.
This discovery builds on the team’s earlier work, which found that fasting in mice enhanced the regenerative abilities of their intestinal stem cells while also …

Older adults who regularly engage in both aerobic and strength exercises perform better on cognitive tests than those who lead a sedentary lifestyle or only participate in aerobic activities. This conclusion comes from researchers at the University of Florida.
The scientists examined 184 cognitively healthy individuals aged 85 to 99. Each participant reported their exercise habits and answered questions from neuropsychological tests assessing cognitive functions.
It turned out that those who re…
European countries have declared a state of emergency due to the threat of wildfires and health risks as an unprecedented heatwave sweeps across the continent.
Meanwhile, climatologists and meteorologists have warned that the heat in European nations will become even more unbearable, with periods of abnormally high temperatures in some areas extending for at least another month.
Heatwaves Will Become More Frequent and Last Longer
In much of southern Europe, temperatures have soared above 104°F …
