Just 20 Minutes of Exercise a Day During Pregnancy Can Reduce the Risk of Childhood Obesity and Diabetes

Lead Image: According to the researchers’ findings, there is a link between getting at least 150 minutes of physical exercise each week and lower birth weight, which reduces the risk of childhood obesity and diabetes. The study found a link between at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week and lower birth weight, with less risk of childhood obesity and diabetes A Brazilian study supports the benefits and safety of physical exercise during pregnancy, even for those who are socially vulnerable. Researchers found that the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation of at least 150 minutes of exercise per week…

Diverse Origins of Earth’s Minerals: Helping Find New Minerals, Habitable Planets, and Extraterrestrial Life

A newly completed 15-year study details the origins and diversity of every known mineral on Earth. An innovative new perspective on mineralogy, findings rank amongst the field’s most important in the last century. Scientists decipher and catalog the diverse origins of Earth’s minerals; will inform models of life’s history, help find new minerals, habitable planets, and extraterrestrial life. Crushed, zapped, boiled, baked, and more: Nature used 57 recipes to create Earth’s 10,500+ ‘mineral kinds’ Pyrite (“Fool’s Gold”) formed in 21 ways — the most of any mineral; Diamonds formed in nine ways – from outer space to deep Earth Water…

How Technology Has Enhanced Your Manufacturing Facility

It is no secret that technology has helped and improved the working environment for many and no more than in the manufacturing industries, making them safer to work in, more comfortable, as well as making production itself a lot faster. It is not only in this that the benefits have been felt. Indeed, there are ways that you can still embrace even more technology into your business and watch it improve your business from every aspect possible. Being Able to Go Paperless Being paperless is a big thing in the manufacturing industry, especially when the business concerned is manufacturing electrical…

First ever comprehensive DNA analysis of mites that live in the hair follicles of all humans reveals explanations for their bizarre mating habits, body features, and evolutionary future. Microscopic mites that live in human pores and mate on our faces at night are becoming such simplified organisms due to their unusual lifestyles that they may soon become one with humans, according to new research findings. The mites are passed on during birth and are carried…

Experimental Discovery of a Tetraneutron – An Exotic State of Matter

Lead Image: Scientists have announced the experimental discovery of a tetraneutron, a new and exotic state of matter that could also have properties that are useful in existing or emerging technologies. Theoretical physicist James Vary has been waiting for nuclear physics experiments to confirm the reality of a “tetraneutron” that he and his colleagues theorized, predicted, and first announced during a presentation in the summer of 2014, followed by a research paper in the fall of 2016. “Whenever we present a theory, we always have to say we’re waiting for experimental confirmation,” said Vary, an Iowa State University professor of…
