Ski Jumping Fraud Scandal: How Suits Are Alphabetically Changed Due to Unfair Benefits
Credit: Pexel’s Heartnique In an age of artificial intelligence, data tampering and genetic manipulation, the nature of fraud and deception in competitive sports seems to be increasingly sophisticated. So it’s almost surprising to see fraud in sports taking on a relatively old-fashioned form. But that was exactly what was unfolded in ski jump last month. This will help athletes soar…

Saturday Quote: Is the Universe a computational process? Plus: The Psychological Benefits of the Game
The artist’s impression of the universe web. Gravity builds a vast spiderweb-like structure of filaments that connect galaxies with clusters of galaxies, and is linked along an invisible bridge for hundreds of millions of light years. Hubble helps us to study the web of the universe and to better understand the invisible forces that have shaped our universe into this…

Groundwater benefits indicate that Arizona’s policy is working, but climate risks still threaten water supply
The Superstition Mountains Recharge Project is part of the Phoenix Active Management area. Water from the Colorado River is brought into the basin, allowing groundwater levels to be recharged.

Self-sealing, Atomic Thin Dialysis Membranes: Proteins convert leaks into filtration benefits
Graphical abstract. Credit: Nano Letter (2024). doi: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.4c04706 The Vanderbilt-led research team has made a major breakthrough in the development of advanced dialysis membranes using atomically thin materials such as graphene. These innovative membranes, called nanoporous atomic thin films (NATMs), utilize protein-enabled sealing mechanisms to maintain high efficiency in filtration of small molecules while minimizing protein loss. Addressing important issues.…

Researchers use nanotechnology to enhance benefits of anthocyanins
Nanoparticles containing anthocyanins. Credit: João Paulo Fabi An article published in Food Research International found that nanoencapsulated anthocyanins pass through the digestive system without being broken down, are efficiently absorbed, and reach more organs and tissues than non-encapsulated anthocyanins. This article describes research that shows that this is achieved and the benefits to the organism increase. Anthocyanins are pigments found…

UN summit approves fund to share the benefits of sequenced genetic data from nature
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain On Saturday, the United Nations Summit on Nature in Colombia agreed to create a fund to share the benefits of genetic data sequenced digitally from animals and plants with the communities from which it originates. Such data, many of which come from species found in poor countries, are used particularly in medicines and cosmetics, and can…
