Scientists found that the very process used to melt and shape plastics into everyday items creates tiny plastic particles. This suggests that manufacturing and even recycling might be a hidden source of plastic pollution. To fix this, we need to find ways to stop plastic molecules from breaking apart when they get hot.
Scientists used high-resolution computer modelling to study ancient climates. They discovered that a greener Earth boosted rainfall during the mid-Pliocene epoch, suggesting future weather patterns might not be as dry as older models predicted.
While we often think of the brain as a purely chemical machine, a new study reveals a mechanical plot twist: physical activity causes brain cells to physically flex and contract, an action that helps the brain grow new neurons.
We often think of smiling or frowning as automatic reflexes. However, new brain scans reveal that showing emotion is actually a complex choice. Your brain calculates social risks before letting your face reveal your feelings.
Finding treatments for rare or neglected diseases is tough because researchers have very little data to work with. A new review suggests that massive artificial intelligence systems could solve this problem by learning from mixed data sources. If developers work together responsibly, these tools might make creating new medicines faster and fairer.
For too long, medical treatments for weight have ignored the mind. A new perspective suggests that integrating psychological care with physical treatments could improve patient outcomes. This combined approach targets the unseen psychological struggles that often accompany weight management.
Scientists are studying how positive and negative electrical charges help pack fragile RNA into tiny protective bubbles. By reviewing early delivery methods, researchers hope to build smarter medicines that safely reach specific cells.
Researchers are launching a large-scale school programme in Northern India to tackle the negative effects of digital habits. The trial will test if targeted social marketing can help teenagers reduce screen time and avoid linked risks like alcohol abuse.
Scientists have developed a highly selective catalyst that produces a specific type of reactive oxygen to clean polluted water. This offers a highly efficient method for breaking down industrial waste without harming helpful environmental bacteria.
Researchers analysed clinical samples to understand how mobile genetic elements influence bacterial adaptation. The findings suggest that while the core DNA remains stable, acquired accessory genes drive significant variations between strains.
Researchers have disabled specific susceptibility genes in tobacco plants to defend against a destructive pathogen. While early tests show improved resistance, the long-term effects on crop yield and quality remain unknown.
Researchers have developed a hybrid artificial intelligence system to identify when older adults autumn. The model learns individual movement patterns to reduce false alarms. While highly accurate in the lab, it remains to be seen how well it performs in the real world.
