By Mischa Dijkstra, Frontiers science writer. A long-term ‘UK Biobank’ study on almost 400,000 people finds little or no evidence that differences in the amount of consumed cooked or uncooked vegetables affects the risk of cardiovascular disease. When known socio-economic and lifestyle confounding factors are corrected for, the small apparent positive effect that remains could likely also be explained away by further confounders.

A technique that can amplify weak optical signals, while simultaneously reducing noise has been developed by researchers in Canada. By exploiting the Talbot effect, the team showed how arbitrarily-shaped signals can be reliably detected, even when buried in background noise. The research was led by José Azaña and Benjamin Crockett at Quebec’s National Institute of Scientific Research.
