Elephants have nicknames for each other, scientists find in ‘really exciting’ discovery | Science & Tech News
admin
African elephants have names for each other that are spoken through rumbles, scientists have found, in a “really exciting” discovery. It’s the first time an animal has been discovered creating individual names for each other, instead of just mimicking the other’s noises like parrots and dolphins do. “It’s really exciting,” said Dr Joyce Poole, scientific…

Glowing dye helps doctors find more prostate cancer cells during surgery, says University of Oxford | Science & Tech News
admin
A glowing dye that sticks to cancer cells gives surgeons a “second pair of eyes”, according to experts at the University of Oxford. The dye clings to prostate cancer cells and then starts glowing when illuminated during surgery. This means doctors can remove more of the cancer during the operation and reduces the chance of…

Proteins in blood could warn of cancer seven years before diagnosis, scientists find | UK News
admin
Scientists have identified proteins in the blood which could warn people of cancer more than seven years before it is diagnosed. Researchers found 618 proteins linked to 19 types of the disease, including bowel, prostate and breast cancers. Some 107 of the proteins were found in a group of people whose blood was collected at…

Solar storms and Mars: Rare giant explosions on sun’s surface could help NASA find out how to live on Red Planet | Science & Tech News
admin
NASA is preparing for an “unprecedented opportunity” to study how solar storms and radiation could affect future astronauts on Mars. The sun is entering a period of peak activity called solar maximum, which occurs roughly every 11 years. During this period, giant explosions erupt on the sun’s surface – including solar flares and coronal mass…

Five Alzheimer’s patients developed disease from decades-old medical treatment, doctors find | Science & Tech News
admin
Five people in the UK are believed to have developed Alzheimer’s Disease as a result of medical treatment decades earlier, doctors have revealed. The world-first research suggests the individuals acquired a rogue protein that causes the form of dementia from growth hormone taken from the brains of deceased people. The doctors say Alzheimer’s itself is…

Bottled water contains quarter of a million invisible pieces of nanoplastics on average, scientists find | Climate News
admin
The average litre of bottled water contains nearly a quarter of a million invisible pieces of nanoplastics, according to new research. While scientists had long assumed there were large quantities of tiny plastic pieces in bottles of water, they never knew how many or what kind. Researchers at Columbia and Rutgers universities in the US…
