Glass fertilizer beads could be a sustained nutrient delivery system
Agricultural fertilizers are critical for feeding the world’s population, restoring soil fertility and sustaining crops. Excessive and inefficient use of those resources can present an
New microscope can image, at once, the full 3D orientation and position of molecules in cells
Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes, and sometimes two instruments, ingeniously recombined, can accomplish feats that neither could have done on
Biobased lignin gels offer sustainable alternative for hair conditioning
Researchers at Stockholm University have developed a fully biobased hair conditioner using lignin gel emulsions, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional haircare
Cooling materials — Out of the 3D printer
Rapid, localized heat management is essential for electronic devices and could have applications ranging from wearable materials to burn treatment. While so-called thermoelectric materials convert
A catalytic two-step: Transforming industrial CO2 into a renewable fuel
Yale scientists have taken a critical next step in creating a scalable process to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and “recirculate” it as
A treatment-resistant, severe type of asthma successfully modeled in mice
A better understanding of inflammation and lung immunity over the past two decades has led to new, innovative treatments for asthma, including biologic therapies. This
Sweet taste receptors in the heart: A new pathway for cardiac regulation
In a surprising discovery, scientists have found that the heart possesses “sweet taste” receptors, similar to those on our tongues, and that stimulating these receptors
Marine mystery solved: How anemonefish avoid stings from their sea anemone hosts
The clownfish-anemone living arrangement is one of the most widely recognized examples of symbiosis. Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding how anemonefish can live
Does planetary evolution favor human-like life? Study ups odds we’re not alone
Humanity may not be extraordinary but rather the natural evolutionary outcome for our planet and likely others, according to a new model for how intelligent
Mouse study finds impaired cell development: Intermittent fasting could be unsafe for teenagers
A recent study reveals that age plays a significant role in the outcomes of intermittent fasting. Researchers from Technical University of Munich (TUM), LMU Hospital
