A new study at Brigham Young University found that young adults' video game use is associated with poorer relationships with peers and parents. The study, which analyzed data from 813 college students, suggests that excessive gaming may lead to decreased social interaction and relationship quality.
A recent study by Brigham Young University and Harvard School of Public Health found that reducing air pollution in the US increases life expectancy by nearly three years, with cleaner air contributing up to five months of that increase.
A new study from Brigham Young University warns that the current DNA barcoding technique may be inaccurately identifying species, leading to overestimation of species numbers. The technique relies on a universal genetic marker, but errors can occur when 'numts' (inactive genetic code) are misinterpreted as unique species.
A new study by Brigham Young University shows that bear spray is an effective deterrent against bears, with a success rate of 92% in halting aggressive behavior. The study also found that running away from bears can actually attract them, and users should take precautions when using the product.
Researchers found that intuitive eaters had a significantly lower body mass index and higher levels of high-density lipoproteins compared to restrictive dieters. Intuitive eating was also correlated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, suggesting a healthier relationship with food and weight management.
A new study by Brigham Young University researchers found that walking stick species re-evolved wings after losing them 50 million years earlier. The discovery raises questions about the basics of evolutionary theory and suggests that complexity can be maintained over tens of millions of years.
Researchers at Brigham Young University have successfully tested a new method to concentrate the impact of cancer drugs on specific tissues, sparing healthy areas. The method uses tiny water-soluble plastic particles and ultrasound to release the drug at the tumor site, significantly reducing tumor size in laboratory animals.
