Researchers report that cryptocurrency money-laundering reached $82 billion in 2025.
Cryptocurrency Money Laundering Surges In 2022, illicit money laundering linked to cryptocurrencies reached at least $82 billion, a significant increase from $10 billion in 2020, according to blockchain researchers. This rise is largely attributed to the rapid expansion of Chinese-speaking criminal organizations. Chinese money laundering networks stand out as the fastest-growing, having emerged during the […]
Long-term excessive alcohol consumption raises the risk of a certain type of cancer, according to researchers.
Research from the American Cancer Society suggests that long-term heavy drinking could elevate the risk of colorectal cancer. This finding comes from a comprehensive study analyzing two decades of data from over 88,000 adults in the U.S. The participants shared their average weekly alcohol intake during different age brackets: 18-24, 25-39, 40-54, and 55 and […]
Dinosaur story: Researchers claim T. rex took 40 years to grow, much longer than previously thought
New Research on Tyrannosaurus Rex Growth A study conducted by researchers has revealed new insights into how long it took Tyrannosaurus rex to reach its full size. Surprisingly, it seems that this process took about 40 years, which is notably longer than the previously estimated 30 years. This dinosaur, known as one of Earth’s largest […]
Researchers discover a new method for creating a healthier, more affordable sugar substitute
New Sugar Substitute Developed Researchers claim to have discovered a healthier sugar alternative that not only tastes good but also works well in baking. Many artificial sweeteners come with unpleasant aftertastes and, let’s be honest, can cause digestive issues for some. Plus, there are growing health concerns surrounding certain sweeteners. A recent study from Tufts […]
Researchers in China create a significant advancement in robot skin that can sense pain.
If you touch something hot, you reflexively pull your hand back without even thinking about it. This rapid reaction is crucial. Sensory nerves in your skin transmit quick signals to the spinal cord, which immediately activates your muscles. Interestingly, robots typically don’t have this ability. When a humanoid robot encounters something hazardous, it has to […]
Researchers discover that chewing gum changes brain activity to improve focus and attention
Chewing Gum: A Thread Through Human History Humans have been chewing gum for a long time—like, thousands of years. It’s interesting, right? Even when the flavor fades, people still stick with it, seemingly without any real nutritional gains. This chewing habit traces back at least 8,000 years to Scandinavia, where birch bark pitch was chewed […]
Researchers transform discarded plastic bottles into energy storage devices.
Turning Plastic Waste into Energy Storage Solutions Every year, billions of single-use plastic bottles find their way into landfills and oceans, creating an escalating waste crisis. However, recent advancements in science suggest that these discarded bottles could actually be transformed into energy storage solutions for daily use. Researchers have devised a method to convert discarded […]
Dangerous ‘superbug’ is spreading in the US due to increasing drug resistance, researchers caution
A recent scientific review indicates potential hope for new treatments, yet drug-resistant bacteria, which are spreading quickly in U.S. hospitals, present an escalating threat globally. Candida auris, often labeled as a “superbug,” is reportedly increasing its resistance to human immunity, according to researchers from the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) in a […]
Who placed them there? Researchers find it difficult to clarify UFO-like items seen in 1950s astronomy images.
Palomar Observatory’s Survey Reveals Unexplained Astronomical Phenomena Between 1949 and 1958, the National Geographic Society carried out an extensive survey at California’s Palomar Observatory, capturing images of numerous celestial bodies. This project aimed to map the sky, providing astronomers with a tool akin to a road map, facilitating their search for faint objects that are […]
Researchers may have discovered a method to reverse Alzheimer’s in a study with mice.
Scientists might have discovered a potential way to reverse Alzheimer’s disease through experiments on animals. A study spearheaded by University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center revealed that restoring central energy molecules in the brain cells of mice helped to reverse brain changes and other indicators of the disease, including cognitive decline. Researchers explored two models of […]
