When it comes to managing blood sugar, most discussions focus on carbohydrates—the primary driver of blood sugar levels. However, the type of dietary fats we consume also plays a significant role, albeit indirectly, in blood sugar management. This review explores how different fats affect blood sugar levels, what recent research says, and provides practical advice […] The post The surprising connection between dietary fats and blood sugar appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Managing diabetes involves monitoring food intake, exercise, and medication, but one often overlooked aspect is the importance of staying hydrated. Proper hydration is essential for everyone, but for individuals with diabetes, it can play an even more significant role in managing their condition. This review explores why staying hydrated is crucial for those with diabetes […] The post The crucial role of hydration in diabetes care appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Dementia is a term that describes various symptoms of cognitive decline, such as forgetfulness and confusion, which interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. Detecting dementia early can be crucial for managing symptoms and planning for the future. One of the primary tools for early detection is cognitive testing. […] The post Spotting the early signs of dementia with cognitive tests appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

For individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, maintaining a sense of comfort and connection can be challenging as the condition progresses. One increasingly recognized approach to enhancing the quality of life for these individuals is pet therapy, also known as animal-assisted therapy. This therapeutic method involves guided interactions between a person […] The post Benefits of pet therapy for Alzheimer’s and dementia appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Researchers have developed an exciting new way to produce electricity using the natural mixing of river water and sea water, a method known as “blue” osmotic energy. This discovery was reported in the scientific journal ACS Energy Letters. Estuaries, where rivers flow into the sea, are not only beautiful places for birdwatching and kayaking but […] The post Scientists unveil a new way to generate electricity from river and sea water mixing appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have made a significant breakthrough in generating clean hydrogen fuel from water using sunlight. Their innovative approach involves a simple yet effective twist in the design of copper oxide semiconductors, commonly used materials that are affordable, abundant, and non-toxic. Typically, copper oxides don’t perform as well as silicon, which […] The post Scientists enhance clean fuel production with a simple twist in material design appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Researchers from the University of Oxford and MIT have made a groundbreaking discovery, uncovering the oldest known evidence of Earth’s magnetic field. Published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, the study reveals a record dating back 3.7 billion years, showing that Earth’s magnetic field has remained surprisingly consistent over time. Earth’s magnetic field is crucial […] The post Scientists discover oldest evidence of Earth’s magnetic field appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Over the last few years I have been renovating my home. Building on Earth seems to be a fairly well understood process, after all we have many different materials to chose from. But what about future lunar explorers. As we head closer toward a permanent lunar base, astronauts will have very limited cargo carrying capability […] The post There are four ways to build with regolith on the Moon appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Researchers at JKU have made a significant breakthrough in solar technology with the development of ultra-thin and flexible solar cells made from a novel material called “perovskite.” These cells are not only incredibly light but also demonstrate high efficiency and stability, making them ideal for powering devices autonomously in various settings, from everyday gadgets to […] The post Scientists develop ultra-thin and flexible perovskite solar cells appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Well over 5,000 planets have been found orbiting other star systems. One of the satellites hunting for them is TESS, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. Astronomers using TESS think they are made a rather surprising discovery; their first free-floating – or rogue – planet. The planet was discovered using gravitational microlensing where the planet passed […] The post NASA’s TESS finds its first rogue planet appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more
