Chemists have developed an exceptionally robust, two-dimensional material that acts as a powerful catalyst. This new structure, called IITKGP-54, withstands harsh chemical conditions and efficiently orchestrates the synthesis of medically important compounds using environmentally friendly methods. Its reusability and effectiveness in water mark a significant step forward for sustainable chemistry.

Scientists are proposing using artificial intelligence to automate a key test for detecting DNA damage from environmental exposure. Currently, manually counting cellular markers called micronuclei is slow and prone to human error, but AI promises to make the analysis faster, more accurate, and consistent, revolutionising large-scale human health monitoring.
