Discover

Google Discover is being used by many people these days. It’s an endless feed of news from various sources that are based on your interests. Google Discover also tends to include YouTube videos in the feed (as a separate card), and they do utilize an autoplay function. There is a way to change that, though. In this article, we’ll show you how to disable video autoplay in Google Discover on your Android smartphone.I, personally, tend to disable video autoplay almost everywhere. Instagram is probably the only app that has…

Black holes are thought to reside at the centre of most galaxies, including our Milky Way, holding important clues to the functioning of these giants. A group of researchers has now found a previously overlooked trove of massive black holes in dwarf galaxies. Black holes are usually detected when they actively grow by consuming gas around them, which makes them glow intensely. These black holes, the researchers believe, can offer insights into the journey of the supermassive black hole that sits at the centre of the Milky…

A case for a structured data-discovery approachPhoto by Clarisse Meyer on UnsplashBack in the slammin’ 70s, John Tukey published Exploratory Data Analysis, through which he championed the idea of playing around with our datasets before jumping into hypothesis testing. Tukey argued that in doing so, one can uncover new information about the data and the topic in question and develop new hypotheses that might lead to some interesting results. He wrote¹,It is important to measure what you CAN DO before you learn to measure…

Scientists and researchers around the world are constantly trying to find treatment of cancer. Now, they may have just stumbled upon a solution that can help treat the disease. Researchers at the University of Utah Health have discovered a soft coral that releases the cancer-treating chemical, eleutherobin. This could be a giant leap in the field of cancer drug studies. Researchers have been hunting the source of this natural chemical for almost 25 years. The DNA of these flexible corals can be studied to understand how…

The position of the crown like structure in the human anatomy. Credit: University of SouthamptonA new research study from the University of Southampton has discovered that ‘crown-like structures’ surrounding breast tumors in overweight and obese patients could hinder their response to therapy.These new findings could potentially be used to improve personalized treatment for patients with HER2 positive overexpressed breast cancer.Adipose tissue, or body fat, is an important component of the healthy human breast and yet…

The images show the impressions of a collapsed cell-wall covering (a coccosphere) on the surface of a fragment of ancient organic matter (left) with the individual plates (coccoliths) enlarged to show the exquisite preservation of sub-micron-scale structures (right). The blue image is inverted to give a virtual fossil cast, i.e., to show the original three-dimensional form. The original plates have been removed from the sediment by dissolution, leaving behind only the ghost imprints. Credit: S.M. Slater, P. Bown / Science…

As the old saying goes; celebrities are just like us, with the obvious exception of the whole fame and fortune thing. And all the additional freebies they get from companies and sponsors that the rest of us mere mortals have to pay for, but that’s another discussion for a whole other time. Despite being a regular human being at the end of the day who uses popular websites like a normal person, fans appear to have chased Margot Robbie away from Letterboxd after discovering her account. The two-time Academy Award…

Exercise increases levels of BDNF, a chemical involved in brain cell growth, which boosts the release of the hormone dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is known to play a key role in movement, motivation, and learning.Boost in nerve-growth protein helps explain why running supports brain health.Exercise increases levels of a chemical involved in brain cell growth, which bolsters the release of the “feel good” hormone dopamine, new research shows. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is known to play a key role…
