Could Protein Folding Reshape Anti-aging Cosmetics? February 22, 2021 Contact Author Karl Lintner, Ph.D., KAL’idées Beauty Ideas, Paris Close Sponsored Editor’s note: Understanding the complexities of protein folding has perplexed biologists for some 50 years. The way a protein folds into its 3D configuration determines its function—or lack thereof, in the case of some diseases.  Renewed interest (and hope) in protein folding emerged in late 2020 when DeepMind, an AI development firm, announced its AlphaFold system could successfully predict protein folding in 3D. The tech...

When others are moving around us, it makes time seem to pass slower It's not just love: all biological movement seems to slow down time. A recent scientific study published in Experimental Brain Research has found that biological movement makes time seemingly pass slower. According to the study, this is not the case for non-biological movement. Image credits: Fitsum Admasu. “Visual motion stimuli can sometimes distort our perception of time. This effect is dependent on the apparent speed of the moving stimulus, where faster stimuli are usually perceived lasting longer than slower stimuli,�...
