Razi Berry Globalization has revolutionized food production and consumption in recent decades and cultivation has become more efficient. As a result, diets have diversified and food availability has increased in various parts of the globe. However, this has also led to a situation where the majority of the world population live in countries that are […]
Razi Berry Researchers at the University of Sydney have discovered the basic science of how sweet taste perception is fine-tuned in response to different diets. While it has long been known that food can taste differently based on previous experience, until now we didn’t know the molecular pathways that controlled this effect. The molecular pathways
Razi Berry The antimicrobial properties of silver have been known for centuries. While it is still a mystery as to exactly how silver kills bacteria, University of Arkansas researchers have taken a step toward better understanding the process by looking at dynamics of proteins in live bacteria at the molecular level. How silver kills bacteria
Razi Berry While researchers have suggested that individuals who base their self-worth on their financial success often feel lonely in everyday life, a newly published study by the University at Buffalo and Harvard Business School has taken initial steps to better understand why this link exists. Researchers have suggested that individuals who base their self-worth

Razi Berry The research, by Aston University’s School of Life and Health Sciences, found that study participants ate an extra fifth of a portion of fruit and vegetables themselves for every portion they thought their social media peers ate. So, if they believed their friends got their ‘five a day’ of fruit and veg, they
Razi Berry Do you inadvertently make decisions because you are hungry or cold? In other words, does the brain’s processing of internal bodily signals interfere with your ability to act freely? This line of thinking is at the heart of research that questions our ability to act on thoughts of free will. We already know
Razi Berry In just under two weeks, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, with engineers, nurses and other health care professionals, have developed a design informed by clinical feedback for protective plastic face shields as the nation combats the spread of the coronavirus. It will be made available to manufacturers to mass-produce personal protective
Razi Berry South Australian researchers working with Oracle Cloud technology and vaccine technology, developed by local company Vaxine Pty Ltd, are testing a vaccine candidate against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The team is headed by Nikolai Petrovsky, Flinders University Professor and Research Director at Vaxine. Oracle tapped for technical collaboration, an
