10-Mar-2026 A short walk goes a long way for your gut Fujita Health University Fujita Health University researchers investigated whether physical activity, like walking, can increase gut motility. Healthy adults walked for 20 minutes while bowel sounds were measured as a noninvasive indicator of gut motility. The study revealed significant increases in gut motility within just minutes after walking. These findings provide new insights into the immediate physiological effects of exercise on the digestive system and suggest a potential mechanism by which regular physical activity may help relieve constipation.

10-Mar-2026 HKU marine scientists reveal giant clam feeding strategy could determine their future survival The University of Hong Kong A research team from the Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) and the School of Biological Sciences of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has helped address this question by developing an innovative mathematical model that allows conservationists to easily assess feeding strategies of different giant clam species. This knowledge can help conservationists to predict the future vulnerability of different giant clam species and identify those in need of timely protection. Journal Communications Biology
10-Mar-2026 Miniature laser technology could bring lab testing into your home Chalmers University of Technology A research team at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has developed new laser technology that could lead to tiny, cost-effective biosensors. The sensors integrate lasers and optics together on a centimeter-sized chip, which could move testing from hospitals to patients' homes. This, in turn, would free up hospital beds and reduce visits to clinics. Journal ACS Sensors
