Karishma Mehta, CEO and founder of Humans of Bombay, recently revealed on Instagram that she has decided to freeze her eggs in early 2025. Her decision is in line with a growing trend of women choosing fertility preservation as a way to control their reproductive decisions. Egg freezing gives women the flexibility to plan for…
There are various forms of birth control, including patches, pills, and vaginal rings, that work wonders to prevent pregnancy. These methods often use hormones that affect your menstrual cycle and sometimes cause predictable bleeding called breakthrough bleeding. It is important to know that withdrawal bleeding is different from normal menstruation and is a contraceptive effect….
Estrogen is one of the most important hormones in a woman’s body, affecting everything from reproductive health to mood, bone strength, and metabolism. But when estrogen levels drop, whether due to menopause, lifestyle factors, or underlying medical conditions, the body starts to send clear signals. Recognizing these signs early is important for maintaining overall health….
Wandering salamanders control blood flow in their toes to improve adhesion and detachment, a finding that could inspire new adhesive and robotic technologies. The wandering salamander is known for its ability to glide high above the canopy of coastal redwood forests, but how the small amphibian can land and take off with such ease remains…
Scientists have identified a new fungus, Gibellula attenboroughii , that infects cave spiders in Ireland. The fungus controls the spiders’ behavior, like a “zombie ant fungus.” Dr Harry Evans, Honorary Scientist at CAB International, led a team of scientists, including experts from the Natural History Museum of Denmark and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in…
Exciting advances in space exploration are underway as NASA tests revolutionary shape memory alloy (SMA) spring tires designed to tackle the harsh terrain of Mars . This innovative tire, developed at NASA Glenn in collaboration with Goodyear, can withstand extreme deformation and return to its original shape, unlike traditional metal. Exploring Mars: The Challenge of…
By combining artificial intelligence with holographic encryption, scientists have developed an extremely secure data protection system. Their method encrypts laser beams into chaotic patterns, making them impossible to decode without a trained neural network. This innovation could revolutionize cryptography. Holograms for next-level encryption As the need for digital security grows, researchers have developed a new…
