Researchers have revealed that this is the first study to look into the association between sugar sweetened beverage intake and chronic liver disease mortality. If the findings of the study are confirmed it could help to reduce the risks of liver disease among women.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin are working on two major research thrusts. The first will focus on new soft and adaptive materials and the second on the emerging field of moiré materials.

Targeting a receptor responsible for our sense of touch and temperature, which researchers have now found to be present in our colon, could provide a new avenue for treating chronic pain associated with gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome.

A multi-national research team has shed light on a long-standing mystery in the African/Eurasian fossil record, revealing a significant bottleneck event in early human history. Utilizing Fitcoal, a groundbreaking method, the scientists analyzed over 3,000 modern human genomes to trace our ancestral past.

LG Chem has introduced Asia’s first plant material-based eco-friendly ABS. The highly functional plastic has acquired the global eco-friendly material certification ISCC Plus and can be used for producing various products such as toys, household appliances, automobiles, construction materials, etc.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in U.S. adults and this can be traced back to their younger days when they were at high risk for the disease but were not given timely treatment because of the country’s limited resources and medical personnel.

Using Ballbot molecules that slide on a surface, physicists and chemists from Münster, Germany, have produced long-chain mobile polymers on metal surfaces for the first time in cooperation with Chinese researchers. Ballbot polymers are extremely promising with regard to new applications in the fields of nanoelectronics, surface functionalisation and catalysis.

Dr. Madjid Mohseni, chemical and biological engineering professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada has developed a new water treatment technology which can remove “forever chemicals” from drinking water efficiently.

In a large, prospective study, the levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are common man-made chemicals found in water, soil, air and food, were associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure among middle-aged women.

Researchers have revealed in a new study that certain species of bacteria found in the gut maybe directly be linked to positive as well as negative emotions being experienced by women.
