NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has started sending back valuable information about its condition for the first time since November last year. This development is a significant step towards getting the spacecraft to transmit scientific data once again. Voyager 1, along with its twin Voyager 2, are historic because they are the only spacecraft that have […] The post NASA’s Voyager 1 back in action, resumes sending data after five months appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Researchers from the University of Vermont (UVM) have made a surprising discovery about certain forests that could play a crucial role in resisting climate change. Their findings, published in the journal Ecology and Evolution, reveal that some mountain forests experience a phenomenon known as “cold-air pooling,” where colder air from higher elevations flows down into […] The post Scientists find forests that defy climate change appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

A recent study has brought us closer to understanding the massive bursts of energy seen in stellar superflares, which are far more intense than the biggest solar flares we know from our own sun. Researchers are now suggesting that a process called hydrogen recombination could be the key to explaining these powerful phenomena. Observatories like […] The post New study reveals the power of stellar superflares appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Dementia is a progressive condition that affects memory, thinking, and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning. It primarily affects older adults, but early onset dementia can start before the age of 65. Recognizing and intervening in the early stages of dementia can be crucial for slowing its progression and maintaining quality of […] The post How to fight dementia in its initial stages appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

The Mediterranean diet has long been associated with good health, particularly when it comes to the heart. This eating plan is inspired by the dietary patterns of Greece, Italy, and other countries that border the Mediterranean Sea. It’s not only delicious but also packed with scientific backing that highlights its benefits for heart health. This […] The post How the Mediterranean diet can help prevent heart disease appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

A recent study, presented at the American Physiology Summit in Long Beach, California, offers new insights into how obesity and high-fat diets may accelerate aging in the blood vessels that serve the brain, potentially leading to cognitive decline. This research, conducted in mice, adds to the growing body of evidence linking vascular health and diet […] The post How obesity makes the brain age faster appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

Diabetes is a common health condition where the body cannot effectively use or produce enough insulin, leading to high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. While many are aware of its effects on heart health and vision, diabetes also has a significant impact on kidney health. Over time, high blood sugar from diabetes can […] The post How diabetes affects kidney health appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

A recent study conducted by researchers from University College London (UCL) and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) reveals that chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients living in the world’s hottest countries experience a more rapid decline in kidney function compared to those in temperate climates. Published in The Lancet Planetary Health, this […] The post Chronic kidney disease develops faster in people living in hot countries appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

A recent study led by researchers at UCL Epidemiology & Health Care has shed light on the alarming rise in memory problems and mental decline among older adults in the UK. Analyzing medical records of over 1.3 million people aged 65 to 99 from 2009 to 2018, the researchers found a significant increase in reported […] The post Risks of memory and mental decline in older adults increase sharply appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a significant health challenge worldwide, known for its role in increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. It often runs in families, making certain individuals more prone to developing it due to their genetic makeup. However, genetic risk doesn’t mean that developing high blood pressure is […] The post How to prevent high blood pressure in families at risk appeared first on Knowridge Science Report ..read more
