Scientists have discovered a stronger genetic 'on switch' to control DNA editing in mosquitoes. By keeping the editing tools turned on longer and shrinking the genetic packaging, researchers can alter mosquito DNA much more efficiently. This upgrade could eventually help stop the spread of dangerous insect-borne viruses.
Scientists have created a new, flexible battery material made from natural plant-based acids. This material can be broken down and rebuilt using light and a chemical helper, offering a clever way to reduce electronic waste.
Scientists have reviewed decades of research to see how trauma changes the way our minds work. By looking at PTSD brain imaging, they found that areas controlling memory and emotion often act differently. This helps us understand why some people experience intense feelings and memories after a scary event.
Scientists have discovered a special molecule that helps solar panel materials form perfectly smooth crystals. This tiny additive patches up microscopic defects, boosting the amount of sunlight turned into electricity and paving the way for better renewable energy.
The vagus nerve acts as a massive communication cable between your gut and your brain. Scientists are studying how stimulating this nerve could help treat conditions like epilepsy and mood disorders. By sending tiny signals along this pathway, doctors might be able to help the brain heal and adapt.
Seaweed blue carbon is a popular concept for fighting climate change, but current evidence shows wild seaweed cannot yet be reliably counted in official carbon budgets. Researchers evaluated European seaweed ecosystems and found they lack the long-term storage and measurable data needed for strict climate accounting.
Scientists are shifting how they view memory loss. Instead of just looking at protein clumps, researchers suggest that a deep energy crisis in the brain might be the real starting point. Tiny messenger packages could hold the key to spotting this problem early.
Scientists use digital simulations to understand how plants grow and survive. Making these models accurate requires massive amounts of data, which slows down research. A new review suggests that artificial intelligence could predict missing information, speeding up our ability to breed climate-resilient crops.
Doctors are using smart computer programmes to spot eye damage caused by diabetes. By reviewing many studies, scientists found that artificial intelligence could make screening faster and more accurate. This might help save the eyesight of millions of people.
After emergency abdominal surgery, patients face a high risk of severe infections lurking beneath their stitches. A recent review of over 3,300 patients shows that a specialised vacuum-like dressing can actively manage the wound environment, greatly reducing the chances of infection and helping patients heal.
Researchers used artificial intelligence to read and organise over 2,000 environmental impact statements. By turning decades of chaotic reports into a searchable database, they have made it easier to plan sustainable projects and protect local ecosystems.
Scientists tested a Himalayan river to see how human activity affects its health. By looking at the tiny algae living in the water, they discovered clear links between pollution and the types of microscopic life present.
