A modelling study of the Great Barrier Reef shows that tracking reef health, rather than just location, completely changes which areas need urgent protection.

A new framework embeds invisible digital stamps that survive harmless image tweaks but tear apart when malicious deepfakes occur. In tests on facial datasets, it beat existing methods by over 4.5%.

Scientists combined data from thousands of stroke patients and 100 healthy adults to map potential scalp targets for gentle brain pulses across eight conditions.

Researchers reviewing transient food packaging describe how adding tiny nanomaterials to natural polymers can block spoilage and later trigger the wrapper to safely dissolve away.

A loop of non-coding RNA directly docks onto DNA and hijacks a key enzyme brake, switching on hundreds of genes that fuel pancreatic cancer.
