The energy crisis is taking its toll on our wallets. These tips will show you how to reduce your energy consumption. It doesn’t take much to reduce your energy consumption. Extreme energy consumption can be eliminated in just a few simple steps. And don’t worry: You don’t have to restrict your usage behavior to any great extent. Although in times of crisis, it probably doesn’t hurt to consider whether you need two refrigerators and three loads of laundry a week. So what can you do to use less electricity? Use…

Biontech scientists have discovered a potentially optimal composition of new corona vaccines against the Omicron variant that should also protect against BA.4 and BA.5 subtypes. A covid-19 vaccine that is more effective against SARS-CoV-2/Omikron should ideally contain – in addition to the antigens used initially (wild-type/Wuhan) – an antigen of the omikron subtype BA.2. This is because it can also protect BA.4 and BA.5 subtypes of the Covid-19 pathogens. Scientists tested extensively for the virus neutralization potential of plasma samples (antibodies) after vaccination and breakthrough infections. A key finding, as…

Since Omicron has been challenging to avoid a Corona infection despite immunization and preventive measures, many catch the virus several times, while others are spared. But what is the reason for this? Researchers are finding a surprising answer. Since the beginning of the year, the Omicron variant has caused several infections. The disease risk has never been as high as in the current wave. Despite vaccination and boosters, more and more people are contracting covid – often for the second or third time. But some seem to be unaffected by…

According to experts, we humans feed ourselves with too much protein. As a result, our excretions in bodies of water cause a significant environmental problem. This is because human urine leads to a higher nitrogen input. Humans feed on proteins to a large extent. After all, along with fats and carbohydrates, these form the most critical components of the food we need to live. In addition, protein-rich food provides energy and is involved in numerous biochemical processes of the body in the form of cell building blocks and transport substances.…

A U.S. finding gives researchers hope for a universal vaccine against Omicron and future variants. Since its first appearance just over two and a half years ago in Wuhan, China, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has developed new mutations. More infectious viral variants have become prevalent. However, vaccines and therapeutic antibodies predominantly target earlier strains of the coronavirus. The currently circulating variant BA.5, for example, seems to be able to evade immune protection particularly well. Experts are therefore hoping for a vaccine that is effective against all previous – and especially future…
