  • In a cutting-edge breakthrough, scientists have created a microscopic device capable of navigating inside the bloodstream to remove cholesterol blockages from arteries—without the need for invasive surgery. These nano-machines are designed to target and break down hardened plaque deposits, offering a minimally invasive way to treat cardiovascular disease at its root. This could potentially revolutionize the way doctors approach clogged arteries, bypassing the risks of traditional stents or bypass surgery.

    Still in the early stages of development and animal testing, this technology combines biomedical engineering with nanotechnology, and could soon play a major role in preventing heart attacks and strokes. With heart disease remaining the leading cause of death worldwide, such innovations offer hope for safer, faster, and more accessible treatment. Scientists are optimistic that with continued research and safety validation, this "cholesterol vacuum" could be a clinical reality in the near future.

  • Lime Cilantro Rice

    Zesty Lime and Fresh Cilantro Flavored Rice

    Ingredients:

    1 cup long-grain white rice

    2 cups water or chicken broth

    1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 lime, zested and juiced

    1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

    1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

    Directions:

    Rinse the rice under cold water until water runs clear to remove excess starch.

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic if using and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Add the rice and salt, stirring to coat the grains in oil.

    Pour in the water or chicken broth and bring to a boil.

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

    Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

    Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.

    Serve warm as a fresh, tangy side dish.

  • Pizza Bianca with Prosciutto

    White Pizza Bianca with Prosciutto, Arugula & Ricotta

    Ingredients:

    1 ball of fresh pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

    1/2 cup ricotta cheese

    1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    2 tbsp olive oil

    2 garlic cloves, minced

    1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

    Salt and black pepper to taste

    4–6 slices of prosciutto

    1 cup fresh arugula

    Optional: drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze for finishing

    Directions:

    Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

    Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Brush mixture over the rolled dough.

    Spoon dollops of ricotta over the crust, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.

    Transfer the pizza to the hot stone or sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

    Remove from oven, immediately top with slices of prosciutto and fresh arugula.

    Drizzle lightly with honey or balsamic glaze if desired. Serve hot.

  • The Scaly-foot snail (Chrysomallon squamiferum) is one of the most extraordinary deep-sea creatures known to science.

    It lives in extreme environments near hydrothermal vents, specifically in the Indian Ocean, where temperatures can approach 400°C (750°F).

    What sets this snail apart is its triple-layered shell, which includes:

    1. An outer layer of iron sulfide, making it the only known animal to incorporate iron into its skeleton.

    2. A middle layer of organic material, acting as a shock absorber.

    3. An inner aragonite layer, a typical component in many mollusk shells.

    Its scales (or "sclerites"), which also contain iron sulfide, cover its foot—hence the name "scaly-foot"—and may protect it from predators like venomous snails or extreme heat.

    This armor-like adaptation helps the snail survive in an environment with high pressure, toxic chemicals, and temperatures that would kill most life forms.

    Scientists believe the snail’s shell design could inspire future materials for defense or engineering, due to its resistance to mechanical and thermal stress.

    The Scaly-foot snail has also been recognized as endangered by the IUCN because of the increasing threat of deep-sea mining in its limited habitat.
