One fact about the future of which we can be certain is that it will be utterly fantastic. —Arthur C. Clarke, science-fiction author You don’t just want to feel younger, you want to look younger too. So do we. In this post, we tell you how you can slow down the wrinkling of your skin […]

With accurate experiment and observation to work upon, imagination becomes the architect of physical theory. —John Tyndall If you didn’t carry out the garbage, you would soon be buried in waste. If you were only able to dispose-of some of your garbage, it would take longer, but eventually you would suffer the same fate. Do […]

Free radicals are intermediates in many normal and necessary metabolic reactions. Thus, all oxygen-using organisms have had to evolve defensive mechanisms against free radicals: The enzymes catalase and peroxidase break down hydrogen peroxide and other peroxides, superoxide dismutase (called SOD) controls the superoxide free radical, and glutathione peroxidase also controls peroxides. Antioxidants such as vitamins […]

Empiricism may serve to accumulate facts, but it will never build science. The experimenter who does not know what he is looking for will not understand what he finds. —Claude Bernard, 1813-1878 When your skin wrinkles, or arteries or bread hardens, or rubber becomes brittle, or old Jell-O® stiffens, we are seeing examples of the […]
