Researchers from the Brigham and Women’s Hospital conducted a study in which it was concluded that meal timing could affect the mental health of a person. For instance, a person may experience issues such as depression and anxiety-related mood levels.

Plastic products often turn yellow when kept for a long period of time but have you ever wondered why? Researchers have now identified surface-based chiral nanostructures as the potential culprit for this transformation.

There’s the old saying in dieting that one must “breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper,” if you want to loose weight. But according to a new study, whether a person eats their largest meal early or late in the day does not affect the way their body metabolizes calories.

Size distribution, shape factor, bulk density —  there are numerous parameters that describe a bulk material as a whole. But their determination is also subject to many sources of error. These six tips for particle analysis show how to ensure that you end up with meaningful results when characterizing powders.

When it comes to showing affection towards people, many dogs are naturals. Now comes word reported in the journal Ecology and Evolution on September 20th that the remarkable ability to show attachment behaviour toward human caregivers also exists in wolves.

The German research institute Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung has been selected for the international project – Ambh2er which aims to deliver a greener synthesis of ammonia. With 16 partners from science and industry, the project is scheduled to run for four years and intends to contribute towards the European Green Deal.

A new report sends a dire warning to the chemical industry, which it says is on track for a future global warming scenario with catastrophic consequences, and sets out tangible, credible pathways for the sector to become an enabler of a sustainable global economy by 2050, while overseeing dramatic growth.

Plastic products often turn yellow when kept for a long period of time but have you ever wondered why? Researchers have now identified surface-based chiral nanostructures as the potential culprit for this transformation.

Stäubli Robotics will be launching its new series of robots – Stericlean+ at an upcoming pharma event in 2022. The robots are designed exclusively for use in isolators and deliver high flexibility and precision.

Together with the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative (TPMI) Thermo Fisher Scientific plans to advance the next phase of the large-scale predictive genomics study and support its goal of genotyping one million people in Taiwan.

Silicon-based solar cells will soon be passé. Researchers at Linköping University have found new possibilities to develop efficient and stable solar cells from the material ‘perovskites’. Earlier, these solar cells faced problems with stability but now it has been resolved.

Researchers at the University of Bern and Inselspital have collaborated to provide an insight into the latest precision oncology technologies. To use these innovative technologies in the clinic is still a major hurdle as it still needs to be standardized and will also require new infrastructures in the clinics.

Researchers from Eawag - the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, the University of Bern, and the Natural History Museum of Basel, came together to analyze 99 genomes of 22 whitefish species and concluded that the diversity of the species has arisen independently in each group of lakes since the last ice age partly due to their different depths and food sources.

A new study from the University of Eastern Finland shows that upon attack by bark-feeding weevils, conifers release substantial quantities of volatile organic compounds that provide important cues to neighbouring seedlings.

Researchers at the University of Bristol in the UK have reported that insects are more vulnerable to extreme temperatures than what was thought earlier. Studies now reveal that insects struggle to adjust their thermal limits to high temperatures.

Researchers from the University of Gothenburg have recently published an article in the Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances which shows that old toys and dress-up items may contain toxic chemicals that can cause cancer, damage DNA or disrupt the future reproductive capacities of children.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 cohort studies involving more than one million adults from eight countries finds that moderate consumption of black, green or Oolong tea is linked to a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

There’s the old saying in dieting that one must “breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper,” if you want to loose weight. But according to a new study, whether a person eats their largest meal early or late in the day does not affect the way their body metabolizes calories.

Researchers found that men who consumed high rates of ultra-processed foods were at higher risk for developing colorectal cancer than those who did not. They did not find the same association in women.

A new study in Cancer Causes and Control suggests a link between eating fish and skin cancer. However, Harvard Medical School warns that it’s too soon to make definitive conclusions about the relationship between fish in our diets and melanoma.

Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed microscopic robots, called microrobots, that can swim around in the lungs, deliver medication and be used to clear up life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia.

Researchers developed a new type of holographic microscope. The new microscope can “see through” the intact skull, and is capable of high-resolution 3D imaging of the neural network within a living mouse brain without removing the skull.

The mega biomanufacturing facility will cater to the growing demand for biologic materials and is part of the company’s 650-million-dollar multi-year investment strategy which aims to expand its bioprocessing production capabilities.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 cohort studies involving more than one million adults from eight countries finds that moderate consumption of black, green or Oolong tea is linked to a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

A density determination can be carried out with a balance. A new poster by Mettler Toledo gives tips on how to set up the density measurement.

Today’s busy laboratories are under pressure to produce, and spilled materials are often an unwelcome show-stopper when weighing. Not anymore. With an new patented lattice weighing pan, laboratory workers keep working while maintaining the accuracy your process requires to enhance productivity and throughput.

Weighing is an important act in every laboratory — but it can become tedious and even uncomfortable. The design of the new, smaller XPR Analytical balance gives a deeper access to the weighing chamber.

Laboratory technicians often don't know which test weights and weight class they should choose to check the performance of their balances and scales. The free Mettler Toledo GWP Recommendation service specifies the correct test weights and weight class based on the degree of accuracy you need to satisfy your specific process tolerances.
