Here's how young people are getting off their phones and seeking community IRL. One night while seeking a feeling of ...

Transition-metal-based nanozymes show great potential for chemiluminescence (CL) detection due to their stability, excellent catalytic properties, good biocompatibility, and facile synthesis. In this ...

Sometimes, it might seem that you are not living your life to the fullest. Each day is exactly like the other; nothing ...

The release of the “feel-good” chemicals dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin are tied to specific lifestyle, exercise, and dietary choices. Here’s what triggers each one.

Our dopamine levels can vary. Our brain is constantly releasing small amounts of dopamine at a “baseline” rate. This is because dopamine is crucial to the functioning of our brain and body, ...
