Novel transmission technique enables world record 430 Tb/s in a commercially available, international-standard-compliant optical fiber

Researchers have demonstrated a record-breaking 430 terabits per second (Tb/s) optical transmission using a novel approach that triples the capacity of standard-compliant cutoff-shifted optical fibers. The technology offers high throughput with reduced complexity, while utilizing existing optical fiber infrastructure.

Feeling fit, but not fine: ECU study finds gap between athletes’ health perceptions and body satisfaction

A new study from Edith Cowan University found that recreational athletes often experience disordered eating and exercise behaviors despite perceiving themselves as healthy and fit. Only 26% reported being satisfied with their body weight and shape, highlighting the gap between physical health and body image.

1 in 8 males undergo scrotal surgery 20 years after kidney donation

A population-based cohort study found that the cumulative incidence of scrotal surgery among male living kidney donors was 1 in 8 after 20 years, compared to 1 in 143 for non-donors. Most males who donate a kidney won't develop this complication, but it's essential to inform past and future donors about the risk and potential symptoms.

NAD⁺ restores memory in Alzheimer’s’ disease models by correcting RNA errors

A new study reveals that increasing NAD⁺ levels corrects RNA splicing mistakes, improving brain function and restoring memory in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. The researchers discovered a previously unidentified pathway involving the protein EVA1C, which plays a crucial role in correcting tau-related neuronal damage.

Sweat-powered sticker turns your drinking cup into a health sensor

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed an electronic sticker that monitors vitamin C levels using sweat from fingertips, providing a convenient and low-cost alternative to current methods. The system is battery-free and can be manufactured at a low cost, making it potentially disposable and widely accessible.

How family size affects your health: New study reveals surprising patterns

The study found that having no biological offspring was linked to a higher risk of schizophrenia in both men and women. Having more than one offspring compared to one was associated with disease risks across multiple systems. Each additional offspring reduced mental and behavioral disorders by 7% and breast cancer risk by 18% for women.
