Concert tickets tend to be expensive these days, and a new study by Jeff Bet reveals which rock artists are the most expensive to see per minute — and the metal artist that gives the best value for the price. Spending hundreds of dollars to see a band play an hour-long set doesn’t sound as appealing as seeing a band who plays longer sets, so it’s easier to justify paying a high price to see a show when it goes on for a longer amount of time. Jeff Bet compiled the results for their study by analyzing data from Pollstar and Setlist.fm over the last four years (2019 to 2023) to see which artists ...

Washington (AFP) - Prendre l'avion est de plus en plus sûr, le risque de mourir ayant été divisé par deux chaque décennie depuis la fin des années 1960, selon une étude du Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) publiée jeudi et qui établit un classement par pays. Entre 2018 et 2022, la moyenne s'est établie à un mort tous les 13,7 millions de passagers dans le monde, contre un tous les 7,9 millions de passagers entre 2008 et 2017 et un tous les 350.000 passagers entre 1968 et 1977. "La sécurité aérienne ne cesse de s'améliorer", écrit Arnold Barnett, professeur au MIT et coauteur de l'étu...

Washington (AFP) - Flying can be a nerve-wracking experience for many people -- but a new study out Thursday finds commercial air travel keeps getting safer, with the risk of death halving every decade. The fatality rate fell to 1 per every 13.7 million passenger boardings globally in the 2018-2022 period, a major improvement from 1 per 7.9 million boardings in 2008-2017, according to a paper by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It's also a far cry from the dawn of commercial air travel: fatalities per passenger were 1 per 350,000 boardings in 1968-1977. "Aviat...

A new study lends weight to fears that more livestock workers have gotten the bird flu than has been reported. “I am very confident there are more people being infected than we know about,” said Gregory Gray, the infectious disease researcher at the University of Texas Medical Branch who led the study, posted online Wednesday and under review to be published in a leading infectious disease journal. “Largely, that’s because our surveillance has been so poor.” As bird flu cases go underreported, health officials risk being slow to notice if the virus were to become more contagious. A large surge...

Blood tests for Alzheimer's disease aim to help doctors diagnose the condition more quickly and accurately but are mostly used in controlled research settings. A new Swedish study shows their reliability in real-world healthcare settings as well. The study of more than 1,200 patients experiencing mild memory symptoms found that a blood test for Alzheimer's had 90 per cent reliability in primary care. Alzheimer's can be cumbersome to diagnose, requiring a hard-to-get brain scan or an uncomfortable spinal tap. Many patients are diagnosed based on symptoms and cognitive exams. In the Swedish stud...

For the hundreds of millions of people living with diabetes, a new study breakthrough could hold the hope for a cure. Scientists at Mount Sinai and City of Hope medical centres in the US have developed a drug treatment which was able to increase insulin-producing cells - known as beta cells - by 700 per cent over three months in mice, effectively reversing the disease. “This study is the first time a treatment, a combination treatment, has shown to increase human insulin-producing cells in vivo,” Dr Adolfo Garcia-Ocaña, corresponding author of the study, told Euronews Health. “This research br...

Paris (AFP) - Le nombre et l'intensité des feux de forêt extrêmes, les plus destructeurs et les plus polluants, ont plus que doublé dans le monde depuis 20 ans, en raison du réchauffement climatique dû à l'activité humaine, selon une nouvelle étude publiée lundi. À l'aide de données satellites, les chercheurs ont étudié près de 3.000 incendies de forêt ayant une énorme "puissance radiative" - la quantité d'énergie émise par rayonnement - entre 2003 et 2023 et ont constaté que leur fréquence avait été multipliée par 2,2 au cours de cette période. Ce sont les forêts tempérées de conifères, notam...

A map in a new study by Merchoid shows the most popular dad rock band in each U.S. state. When you think of dad rock, which bands come to mind? For many, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, Van Halen and other related big names from the ’70s and ’80s are likely the answer. And while some of those still reign in many locations as the ultimate dad rock groups, Merchoid’s map is guaranteed to make you feel old, as acts from the ’90s and 2000s are apparently the supreme favorites of today’s fathers. To gather the findings, Merchoid surveyed 3,000 Americans about which ba...

Russia’s war in Ukraine has emitted roughly 175 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in 24 months, according to the most comprehensive such study of any war to date. This is the equivalent of the annual use of 90 million cars and could cost Russia nearly €30 billion in reparations for the climate damage it has caused. The report comes from the Initiative on Greenhouse Gas Accounting of War (IGGAW) which has been developing new methodologies to measure this ‘conflict carbon’. The initiative’s series of assessments is the first to map the emissions of any war on such a comprehensive scale. Where doe...
