A team of researchers from New York University School of Medicine, Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center, the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and the University of Pennsylvania has identified that layers of the human body long thought to be connective tissues — below the skin’s surface, lining the digestive tract, lungs, and urinary systems, and surrounding arteries, veins, and the fascia between muscles — are actually interconnected, fluid-filled compartments, categorizing them as an organ. The newfound organ — the interstitium (connective tissue) — is a series of spaces, supported by a meshwork of strong (collagen) and flexible (elastin) connective tissue proteins found below the skin’s surface, lining the digestive tract, lungs and urinary systems, and surrounding arteries, veins, and the fascia between muscles. Importantly, the finding that this layer is a highway of moving fluid may explain why cancer that invades it becomes much more likely to spread. Draining into t

The race to produce ever-faster laser pulses has set a new record, and it could lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of atom-level physics. A team at ETH Zurich has shortened an X-ray pulse to just 43 attoseconds (10-18 seconds), which is quick enough that you can observe electrons moving in slow motion. That, in turn, makes it realistic to study extremely fast processes, such as the formation of chemical bonds or the creation of electricity in solar cells. The system uses a mid-infrared laser to generate "soft" X-ray pulses with an extremely large spectral bandwidth. Previous attosecond-level pulses revolved around titanium-sapphire lasers, which limited the potential photon energy and effectively ruled out studying large chunks of the periodic table. ETH's breakthrough could significantly improve our understanding of how electrons behave, but there are also some practical benefits. You could see more efficient solar panels as scientists learn which materials

Using a combination of the biblical text and an ancient Egyptian text, the researchers were then able to refine the dates of the Egyptian pharaohs, in particular the dates of the reign of Ramesses the Great. The results are published in the Royal Astronomical Society journal Astronomy & Geophysics. The biblical text in question comes from the Old Testament book of Joshua and has puzzled biblical scholars for centuries. It records that after Joshua led the people of Israel into Canaan -- a region of the ancient Near East that covered modern-day Israel and Palestine -- he prayed: "Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon. And the Sun stood still, and the Moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies." "Modern English translations, which follow the King James translation of 1611, usually interpret this text to mean that the sun and moon stopped moving," said Humphreys, who is also a Fellow of Selwyn College. "But going

The female climax: What do ladies need? Research demonstrates that sexual confidence and great correspondence are critical factors in ladies' sexual fulfillment. Societal standards and the media both intensely impact how we see ladies' climaxes, however inquire about demonstrates that their sexual action inclinations and encounters with climax differ broadly. The female climax is frequently portrayed as the focal point of a lady's sexual fulfillment and a definitive objective of sex. In any case, numerous ladies don't encounter a climax amid sex until their 20s or even 30s, and the quantity of ladies who say that they generally or almost dependably make them amid sex is declining. The social desires encompassing ladies' climaxes can be especially troubling to ladies who don't generally encounter them. What's more, when delineations of sex in the media are tossed in with the general mish-mash, the hole amongst desire and reality extends much further. Lé

Money Mistake 1 Never borrow money that accrues interest to start a business . That is to say, never borrow money to start a business expecting that the business will generate income to pay back the borrowed money plus the interest. Money Mistake 2 Never spend money you haven't received. Don't even promise someone money based on a promise you have from someone else. If someone tells you: "Ezra, come to my office tomorrow at 9am and pick #30K"don't go out to buy items on credit based on this promise, with the hope that you will pay off your creditor when the promised money comes; it may not come as promised and this will leave you in problems with your creditors. Money Mistakes 3 If you want to save, whenever you receive money, don’t start spending hoping that you’ll save what remains. Normally what remains is zero because as long as money to spend is available, the numerous things you can spend it on are also available. And things to spend on even incite thei

By what method may contrasts in the brains of men and ladies influence their conduct and discernment? We research. In a universe of equivalent rights, and sexual orientation , one inquiry stays integral to our comprehension of the two natural genders: are men's and ladies' brains wired in an different way? Assuming this is the case, how, and how could that be important?  There are many examinations that intend to investigate the subject of hidden contrasts between the brains of men and ladies. In any case, the outcomes appear to fluctuate uncontrollably, or the elucidations given to the primary discoveries are in difference.  In existing investigations, scientists have taken a gander at any physiological contrasts between the brains of men and ladies. They at that point contemplated examples of initiation in the brains of members of both genders to check whether men and ladies identify with a similar outer jolts and subjective or engine assignments similarly.  At last, the inqu

Specialists from the College of California San Diego Institute of Medicine have built up an instrument to measure an element's level of wisdom,called the San Diego Wisdom Scale (SD-WISE), the scale depends on a conceptualisation of insight as a characteristic with a neurobiological and additionally psychosocial premise. "There is confirmation to recommend that the level of shrewdness is managed to an expansive degree by neurobiology, and that particular locales and frameworks in the mind administer the distinguished segments of astuteness," said Dilip Jeste, Chief of UC San Diego Center for Health Aging "There are strategies which evaluate a man's level of intelligence, yet they don't have the developing neurobiological models of the attribute. "SD-WISE mirrors the most recent considering. We trust it might be a helpful device in clinical practice, notwithstanding its incentive in bio psycho social research, particularly looks into the neurobiology of in

If I told you there was a giant top hat in my kitchen sink, a pot of baby oil brewing in my coffee maker, granite spilling out of my fridge, hay stuffed in my microwave, and Garfield the cat roasting in my oven, you'd likely smile politely, nod, then back away. Very. Slowly. Don't worry; I'm not seeing things. All of this stuff is just a mental shortcut, a way to remember the past presidents, specifically 16 through 20. (You following? Lincoln is the top hat; Johnson, the baby oil; Grant, granite; Hayes, yep, hay; and President Garfield is the cat.) I learned this little trick while interviewing "memory athletes"—intellectual jocks who have competed in the USA Memory Championship or the World Memory Championships (real events!). In these mental games, masters of the mind go head-to-head in hellish-sounding events like memorizing two decks of cards in five minutes or seeing who can put the most names to faces in the least amount of time. My learning to rattle off

According to a new study, men with wide faces have higher levels of testosterone and are therefore more likely to consider cheating on their partners and inhibit promiscuous ideals.  Researchers at Nipissing University, Ontario, interviewed 145 undergraduates in relationships about their sex lives, asking them how often they felt desire and how many times they masturbated in a typical month. The students with a larger facial width-to-height ratio registered higher on the scoring of these questions. Men with wide faces are also thought to more likely to show signs of prejudice, psychopathy, financial success, ambition, questionable ethics and attractiveness. But what of the more elongated faces? And what can we tell about someone's personality traits from other defining facial characteristics? A long face equals higher intelligence . Why the long face, you braniac? A study published in the journal  PLoS One  in 2014 found men (though not women) with a long face and wide-set ey

Words and Science Without language, things between humans would get pretty confusing pretty fast. And even though the ways we communicate can be super flexible, it’s best to make sure we actually know what the words we’re using really mean. This becomes all the more important when we try to understand science, where words often take on highly specialised meanings. And that’s why a team of researchers just published a master list of terms they would like everybody to stop getting wrong. “In psychology, many terms are confused not only by new students but also by advanced students, psychology instructors, and science journalists,” says one of the researchers, Scott Lilienfeld from Emory University. This new work is actually a sequel to a paper Lilienfeld and colleagues published last year, in which they collected a list of the most “inaccurate, misleading, misused, ambiguous, and logically confused words and phrases in psychology, genetics, and science in general.” Now the team has

Researchers found that a higher IQ score could be an indicator of some curious behaviors. Conventional wisdom may point to smart people having advanced levels of cognition, creativity, or emotional intelligence, but if you ever wondered whether you belong with the brainy bunch, these nine signs may confirm what you already know. 1. You're the first child in the family. A study of 250,000 Norwegians published in Science magazine revealed that the oldest sibling had an average IQ 2.3 points higher than younger siblings. The reason is due to environment and family dynamics, not genetics. The firstborn gets the benefits of full parental attention. When No. 2 arrives, that older sibling becomes a tutor to the younger sibling, which has high cognitive demands and boosts intelligence for some firstborns. 2. You lack common sense. Intelligent people (may of them liberals) lack common sense, says evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa, co-author of  Why Beautiful People Have More D

The 3 commonest sexual problem among males. It is the direct opposite of premature ejaculation. Even though some men will prefer it to PE, it is still a serious medical condition nonetheless. Now, even though delayed ejaculation is the 3rd most common male sexual disorder, it is the most underreported and untalked about male sexual disorder! The reason for this may not be unconnected to the fact that mainstream media and pornography constantly depict unrealistic sexual performance feats, hence making most men with delayed ejaculation to consider it a blessing of some sort...a formidable magic wand capable of reviving the boredom and sexual unsatisfaction of women! Not so. As a matter of fact, some DE sufferers, by the mere act of denying the existence of this problem, often experience severe physical and mental distress and relationship problems with their partners. So what exactly is Delayed ejaculation (DE), if indeed it exists? What constitutes delayed ejaculation? Delayed ejacu

If falling asleep often feels more challenging than training for a marathon, you might be able to blame your diet. While eating a balanced mix of fruits, veggies, and protein will make you pass out like a baby, the second you turn off the lights, there is a handful of foods that do the exact opposite. Some foods are known for causing insomnia—and eating them in the evening is especially bad news for your sleep schedule, Byrdie reports. According to the Cleveland Clinic, that’s because while some edible options promote a healthy slumber, others decrease the sleep hormone serotonin, which makes resting up no small feat. The next time you are having trouble caching zzz's, try eliminating these common culprits from your diet, and you’ll be on the express train to snoozeville in no time. Eliminate these 6 sleep-stealing items from your diet for a better night’s sleep. 1. Fried foods Fried foods not only bring down your serotonin levels, but your body takes longer to digest the stuff

We all reach critical points in our lives where our mental strength is tested. It might be a toxic friend or colleague, a dead-end job, or a struggling relationship. Whatever the challenge, you have to see things through a new lens, and take decisive action if you want to move through it successfully. It sounds easy, but it isn’t. It’s fascinating how mentally strong people set themselves apart from the crowd. Where others see impenetrable barriers, they see challenges to overcome. Too many people succumb to the mistaken belief that mental strength comes from natural, unteachable traits that belong only to a lucky few. It’s easy to fall prey to this misconception. In reality, mental strength is under your control, and it’s a matter of emotional intelligence (EQ). When it first appeared to the masses, emotional intelligence served as the missing link in a peculiar finding: people with average IQs outperform those with the highest IQs 70% of the time. This anomaly threw a massive wre

If dreams were movies, they wouldn't make a dime. They're often banal, frequently fleeting and they're screened for an audience of just one. As for the storyline? You're in a supermarket, only it's also Yankee Stadium, shopping with your second-grade teacher until she turns into Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Then you both shoot a bear in the cereal aisle. Somebody call rewrite. But dreams are vastly more complex than that, and if you've got a theory that explains them, have at it. The ancient Egyptians thought of dreams as simply a different form of seeing, with trained dreamers serving as seers to help plan battles and make state decisions. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that dreams were equal parts predictions of future events and visitations by the dead. Sigmund Freud considered dreaming an expression of repressed conflicts or desires, which were — no surprise, this being Freud — often sexual in nature. Carl Jung took a more rigorous approach, explaining dre
