Ancient moss brought oxygen and life to earth

Have you ever got inquisitive about how earth's atmosphere became enriched with oxygen?
Researchers at University of Exeter may have solved this long-standing mystery.
They have theorised that the earliest land plants such as moss, which colonised the land from 470 million years ago onwards, are responsible for the levels of oxygen that sustains our lives today. Their emergence and evolution permanently increased the flux of organic carbon into sedimentary rocks, the primary source for atmospheric oxygen, thus driving up oxygen levels in a second oxygenation event and establishing a new, stable oxygen cycle.

Stay cool without A/C

Stay cool without A/C!
Clothing material work like demons in the scorching heat. Everyone wants to stay inside in an air-conditioned room.
Looking at the energy consumption, researchers thought a way of cooling a person rather than the building where they work or live.
Stanford engineers have developed a low-cost, plastic-based textile that, if woven into clothing, could cool your body far more efficiently than is possible with the natural or synthetic fabrics in clothes we wear today.

Link between Alzheimer's and Type 2 Diabetes

Research team now believes that Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes may be so closely related that looking into the diabetes drugs currently used to control glucose levels could potentially lead to effective treatments in not only alleviating the symptoms but also the progression of Alzheimer's.
