SciTechDaily

SciTechDaily provides top-notch daily coverage and analysis of science and technology, featuring a diverse array of talented writers and reputable research institutions. Founded in 1998 by Vicki Hyde, who was connected to Denis Dutton of Arts & Letters Daily, it started as a sister site to ALDaily.com. The goal was to curate and link to the most insightful and well-researched articles in the fields of science and technology. While it was initially called SciTech Daily Review, the name was changed to SciTechDaily in 2011, and the website has always been accessible at SciTechDaily.com.

Nutrition Expert Reveals the #1 Food Swap To Reduce Stroke Risk

1 week ago | scitechdaily.com | Sam Jones

You might not remember what you had for breakfast yesterday, but your body does. Every meal, good or bad, leaves its mark. Your dietary habits are reflected in your bones, gut, heart, blood, and brain. Over time, what you eat influences key health indicators like cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. These three markers not only help assess your risk for heart disease, but they also play a major role in determining your risk of stroke.
When You Lose Weight, Where Does It Actually Go?

1 week ago | scitechdaily.com | Ruben Meerman |Andrew Brown |UNSW Sydney

Surprisingly, when you lose weight, you’re literally breathing out fat in the form of carbon dioxide. This process accounts for the vast majority of weight loss, debunking common myths among even health experts about fat transformation. Credit: SciTechDaily.comMost health professionals lack a clear understanding of how body fat is lost, often subscribing to misconceptions like fat converting to energy or muscle.
The Immune Molecule That Rewires Your Brain - From Anxiety to Sociability

1 week ago | scitechdaily.com | Anne Trafton

A surprising link between the immune system and brain behavior is emerging, as new research reveals how a single immune molecule can affect both anxiety and sociability depending on which brain region it acts upon. Scientists found that IL-17 behaves almost like a brain chemical, influencing neuron activity in ways that alter mood and behavior during illness.
Engineers Took Apart Tesla and BYD Batteries – The Results Are Surprising

2 weeks ago | scitechdaily.com

A recent study analyzed the internal structures of Tesla’s 4680 battery and BYD’s Blade battery to compare their engineering and performance. Two major manufacturers dominate the electric vehicle (EV) market: Tesla, which leads in Europe and North America, and BYD, the top EV producer in China. D
New Wearable Device Mimics the Complexity of Human Touch

With full freedom of motion, new device can generate a variety of sensations, including pulling, stretching, sliding, vibrations, pressure, and twisting. Credit: John A. Rogers/Northwestern UniversityThe device moves beyond simple vibrations to produce a refined and diverse range of haptic sensations. Most haptic technologies today are limited to delivering simple vibrations.
A Simple Blood Test Could Detect the Most Common Cancer in Young Men

Cornell scientists identified miRNAs specific to testicular cancer that could enable early, non-invasive detection and serve as future therapeutic targets. Researchers have validated a specific cluster of microRNAs (miRNAs) as reliable biomarkers for detecting malignant testicular germ cell tumors, the most common solid tumors in young men.
Your Earliest Memories Might Still Exist - Science Just Found the Clues

Yale researchers have uncovered evidence that babies can store memories far earlier than we once thought. Credit: SciTechDaily.comFor years, scientists believed that our first memories vanished because the brain wasn’t developed enough to store them. But groundbreaking Yale research suggests otherwise. Infants can encode and recall memories—even if we can’t access them later in life.
Did Scientists Just Cure Baldness? UCLA’s New Molecule Could Revolutionize Hair Growth

UCLA genetic scientists are reawakening hibernating follicles. A UCLA-discovered molecule, PP405, may finally offer real hope for hair regrowth by reawakening dormant follicles, with promising early trial results. Ancient Egyptians rubbed their bald heads with a mixture of dates, dog’s paw and d
How a Tiny Direction Shift Creates Chaos in Crosswalks

3 weeks ago | scitechdaily.com | Jennifer Chu

What makes a crowd move in smooth, self-organized lanes, or descend into chaotic weaving? MIT researchers cracked the code using a mix of mathematical modeling and real-life pedestrian experiments. MIT scientists found that when people veer more than 13 degrees off-course in a crowd, orderly walking breaks down into chaotic dodging. Their research blends fluid dynamics, math, and real-world experiments to predict and prevent crowd confusion.
