The presence of ice on the Moon has been a topic of interest for scientists, but its origin still remains uncertain. Recent research suggests that electrons, originating from both Earth and the Sun, are playing a significant role in the formation of frozen water on the lunar surface. These electrons reach the Moon as it
The phenomenon of near-death experiences has long fascinated medical professionals and scientists alike. In a follow-up to a major study on the mysteries of death, researchers from New York University Grossman School of Medicine have shed light on potential flickers of awareness in the minds of cardiac arrest patients during resuscitation. The study, conducted in
Our metabolism plays a crucial role in determining whether we convert food into energy or accumulate extra weight. Many of us blame a “slow” metabolism when we struggle to lose weight, leading to a massive industry of products claiming to speed up our metabolic rate. However, rather than relying on supplements, there are natural methods
