The Leader Globe16 Sep, 2024Health

Doritos might be known for spicing up snack time, but Stanford researchers have discovered that a dye in the chips can also turn mice translucent. The study, published on September 6 in the journal *Science*, details how researchers at Stanford University in California applied a common food dye called Yellow No. 5 — present in various foods and beauty products — to the skin of live mice. This dye created a temporary “window” that made their organs, muscles, and blood vessels visible. The technique, known as “optical tissue clearing,” has not yet been tested on humans but could potentially enable non-invasive observation and monitoring of injuries or diseases.

The Leader Globe10 Sep, 2024News

What appeared to be a bounce back for Canada at the Paralympic Games was more of a return to form.

The 29 medals overall matched the total from Rio in 2016 and significantly surpassed the 21 won in Tokyo.

Global Food Prices Ease in August, UN Report Reveals

The Leader Globe09 Sep, 2024News

The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has reported a slight decline in global food prices for the month of August. The FAO’s world food price index, which tracks the prices of internationally traded food commodities, registered at 120.7 points, down from a revised 121 points in July. This decline was primarily driven by lower prices for sugar, meat, and cereals, which helped offset rising costs in dairy and vegetable oils. The food price index had previously hit a three-year low in February 2023, reflecting a general retreat from the record highs experienced in March 2022, during the height of geopolitical tensions following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. At that time, global supply chains faced severe disruptions, leading to sharp increases in food prices. The August value now sits 1.1% lower than it did in the same period last year and is 24.7% below the peak levels of March 2022.

The Leader Globe05 Sep, 2024Technology

South African scientists have recently revealed a unique meteorite fragment, discovered last month. The fragment, about the size of a motorcycle, was found by nine-year-old Eli-ze du Toit in the Eastern Cape. On August 25, locals across the Eastern Cape, Western Cape, and Free State observed a striking blue-white and orange streak in the sky, accompanied by explosive sounds and vibrations. The meteorite, now named the Nqweba Meteorite, weighs under 90 grams and measures less than 5 centimeters in diameter. Its exterior is black and shiny, while its interior is light grey with a concrete-like texture. The meteorite’s entry into Earth’s atmosphere was dramatic, creating a fireball and fragmenting during flight due to intense friction.

Australia Emerges as a Leading Market for Bitcoin ATMs

The Leader Globe03 Sep, 2024News

Australia is rapidly becoming one of the fastest-growing markets for Bitcoin ATMs, with the country now ranking third globally in the number of crypto kiosks. The surge in installations has brought the total to nearly 1,200 machines, a significant jump from just 73 two years ago, according to data from Coin ATM Radar. This growth has positioned Australia just behind the United States, which leads with about 32,000 ATMs, and Canada, with approximately 3,000. Bitcoin ATMs allow users to convert physical cash into digital assets stored in crypto wallets or withdraw fiat currency by selling cryptocurrencies. While the convenience and accessibility these machines offer have been praised for promoting financial inclusion, they have also sparked concerns over potential misuse. Australian authorities have identified crypto ATMs as a potential vulnerability for money laundering.
