  • Scientists freeze quantum motion using ultrafast laser trick
    Harvard and PSI scientists have managed to freeze normally fleeting quantum states in time, creating a pathway to control them using pure electronic tricks and laser precision.
  • Researchers develop recyclable, healable electronics
    Electronics often get thrown away after use because recycling them requires extensive work for little payoff. Researchers have now found a way to change the game.
  • Ultra-thin lenses that make infrared light visible
    Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light.
  • Engineers develop self-healing muscle for robots
    Students recently unveiled their invention of a robotic actuator -- the 'muscle' that converts energy into a robot's physical movement -- that has the ability to detect punctures or pressure, heal the injury and repair its damage-detecting 'skin.'
  • Listening to electrons talk
    Researchers present new experimental and theoretical results for the bound electron g-factor in lithium-like tin which has a much higher nuclear charge than any previous measurement. The experimental accuracy reached a level of 0.5 parts per billion. Using an enhanced interelectronic QED method, the theoretical prediction for the g-factor reached a precision of 6 parts […]
  • Waste to foundation: Transforming construction waste into high-performance material
    In a major advancement for sustainable construction, scientists have created a cement-free soil solidifier from industrial waste. By combining Siding Cut Powder and activated by Earth Silica, an alkaline stimulant from recycled glass, scientists produced a high-performance material that meets compressive strength standards exceeding the 160 kN/m construction-grade threshold and eliminates arsenic leaching through calcium […]

Tips for staying fit while studying

by Florius

Congratulations on taking the first step towards a healthier lifestyle as a student! Moving on your own can bring changes that may affect your physical and mental well-being. While it’s easy to get caught up in the busy lifestyle of studying and socializing, it’s essential to prioritize your health.

Remember, you have the power to make positive changes!

Don’t let the fear of weight gain hold you back. By following some simple tips, you can maintain a healthy mind and body. Studies show that exercising can even improve memory and thinking skills – perfect for succeeding as a student. So keep your head up, stay motivated, and take care of yourself. You got this!

Wake up early and keep a routine

The famous saying goes, “The early bird catches the worm,” – has truth to it. When you start waking up early, you feel like you have an abundance of time. If you oversleep, you are already behind on everything. You probably have to skip your breakfast just to get in time to class and you are just catching up. It is less likely you have enough time left, to cook a delicious meal and you’ll rather buy fast-food.

Waking early allows you to enjoy your breakfast, maybe even do some exercise before your day truly starts.

Drink water

Staying properly hydrated is crucial for optimal well-being, as the body relies on it considerably. It is thus recommended to keep a water bottle with you at all times during classes to ensure adequate hydration. Dr. W. Adam emphasizes the importance of heeding your body’s signals of thirst and drinking water when needed, as highlighted by his research on hydration among college students. Please note that maintaining proper fluid intake levels is essential for good health and is an easy yet impactful way to care for your body during your academic pursuits.

Workout you can do alone

Here are some top ways to keep your body moving during breaks or in your free time and they are free!

Yoga allows you to stretch those muscles if you’ve been sitting for hours. It’s been done for hundredths of years in India, and it shows that it can help you stretch your muscles and increase your flexibility. It has additional benefits such as lowering your blood pressure and improve your sleeping patterns as is shown in multiple research [1] .

Running or walking is a great way to give your brain some rest and let your feet do some of the work instead. The best thing is you can do it anywhere, all you need is a pair of good running shoes. There are many apps available online that can help you get started, or that find the correct routes for you.

Join a sport society

Many higher education institutions offer a diverse range of society groups, some of which cater to sport-related interests. By participating in such societies, you can engage in team sports and develop relationships with like-minded individuals. This social setting can improve your motivation and inspire you to pursue new athletic goals. Furthermore, some universities boast exceptional facilities accessible to students, such as running tracks and tennis courts. Researching what amenities are available to you can optimize your extracurricular experience and promote a healthier lifestyle.

Do not skip your meals

Skipping your meals is never a good idea, its not good for our weight or health according to the department of family and geriatric medicine of the University of Lousville [2]. It will leave you with less energy, because your body has run out of fuel. Websites, such as the Busyfoodbee, can help you create amazing recipes.

Sleep well and be patient

Lastly, it is important to get enough sleep. It is recommended to get at least 7-9 hours of sleep every day, so you are fresh in the lecture halls.
