The squid’s ability to change its skin color in response to complex environmental information has fascinated scientists for decades. Now, Chinese researchers have taken inspiration from squids to create a new artificial skin that can not only withstand… Continue reading New squid-inspired artificial skin endures extreme cold, kills microbes
A new study has suggested that by protecting and restoring wildlife, we can enhance natural carbon capture mechanisms and reduce climate change.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Climate, Climate Crisis, Wildlife, Animals, Extinction, … Continue reading Protecting and restoring wildlife offers a new climate solution
Antimicrobial resistance, particularly resistance to antibiotics, is a worldwide problem. A new study has, for the first time, shown how the consumption of antibiotics by an entire population can affect an individual’s health.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Population’s antibiotic use can affect individual health, study shows
Researchers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to measure the temperature of the innermost planet in the TRAPPIST-1 system, shedding more light on the ability of planets like these to support life.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: TRA… Continue reading James Webb sheds more light on exoplanets’ ability to support life
Scientists have identified the role an enzyme, crucial to the body’s metabolism, plays in the development of kidney disease, opening the door to new methods of prevention and treatment of this increasingly prevalent, potentially fatal condition.Continu… Continue reading Scientists identify role of key metabolism enzyme in kidney disease
Dementia is an incurable, debilitating disease that affects millions of people worldwide. While science continues to look for answers to treat the disease, there has been a shift towards prevention. A study has provided new evidence about the link between magnesium intake and brain health.

We might soon replace our stovetops, ovens, and microwaves with 3D printers after mechanical engineers from Columbia University successfully created a cooked slice of cheesecake made from a record-breaking seven ingredients.Continue ReadingCategory: 3D… Continue reading Engineers 3D print record-breaking 7-ingredient cooked cheesecake
Samples taken from the near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu continue to provide scientists with important insights, this time about the potential beginnings of life on our planet.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Space exploration, Hayabusa 2, … Continue reading Asteroid Ryugu provides clues about beginnings of life on Earth
Belgian scientists have shed light on the reason why particular types of cancers develop resistance to chemotherapy. By switching off the gene that produces a protein involved in chemotherapy resistance, they were able to make resistant cancer cells mo… Continue reading Switching off gene makes cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new type of neural implant that combines stem cells with electronics and has the potential to help amputees or those who’ve lost the use of their limbs.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Scien… Continue reading Human stem cells used to create new type of biohybrid neural implant
