Realistic depiction of atoms dynamically moving before radiation-driven decay in a groundbreaking 'atomic movie' by scientists.

Researchers create an ‘atomic movie’ showing how atoms roam before a radiation-driven decay

Scientists at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society and international collaborators say they have reconstructed a real-time “movie” of atoms moving for up to a picosecond before an electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD) event, showing that nuclear motion and geometry can strongly influence when the decay occurs and what it produces.

Benzene leaks from gas cookers exceed safety limits in European homes

Nearly one in 10 homes tested in the UK, Italy and the Netherlands showed benzene levels from gas cooker leaks that surpass safety limits, according to researchers. The cancer-causing chemical in natural gas poses risks akin to secondhand smoke indoors. The findings highlight potential indoor air pollution from slow leaks.

Overactive brain hinders balance recovery in older adults and Parkinson's patients

25 Mwezi wa tatu, 2026 Imeripotiwa na AI

Researchers at Emory University have discovered that excessive brain and muscle activity during minor balance disruptions contributes to poorer balance recovery in older adults, including those with Parkinson's disease. The study, published in eNeuro, reveals that trying harder to balance may actually increase fall risk. Opposing muscles stiffening simultaneously further impairs stability.

Swedish register study links early fatherhood to a delayed rise in diagnosed depression

Fathers in Sweden were less likely to receive new psychiatric diagnoses during their partner’s pregnancy and in the first months after birth, but diagnoses of depression and stress-related disorders rose by more than 30% toward the end of the child’s first year, according to a large national register study published in JAMA Network Open.

Mahakama Kuu inampa Raphael Tuju dhamana ya KSh200,000

Mahakama Kuu ya Kenya imempa Raphael Tuju dhamana ya kujikinga ya KSh200,000 au kaution ya pesa sawa ili kuzuia kukamatwa na polisi wakati wa uchunguzi wa madai ya kujiteka nyara. Tuju alikamatwa Machi 23 na afya yake ilidhoofika katika kituo cha polisi cha Karen hadi kulazwa ICU katika Hospitali ya Karen. Rais William Ruto amewahutubia wapinzani wake kwa madai ya kumshawishi Tuju afanye hivyo.

Study links parathyroid hormone to reduced chronic low back pain in mice by limiting abnormal nerve growth

24 Mwezi wa tatu, 2026 Imeripotiwa na AI Imethibitishwa ukweli

A study published in the journal *Bone Research* reports that parathyroid hormone (PTH) reduced pain-related behaviors in mouse models of spinal degeneration, apparently by strengthening vertebral endplates and triggering bone-cell signals that repel pain-sensing nerve fibers. The work was led by Dr. Janet L. Crane of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
