A University of Nottingham study shows plant-based dog foods dramatically reduce land use, emissions, and resource demand compared to red-meat diets — offering pet owners a way to shrink their dog’s environmental “paw-print” without sacrificing nutrition.

Honey bees navigate with striking individual precision, according to a drone-based study by researchers at the University of Freiburg. High-resolution 3D tracking shows that each bee follows its own consistent route between hive and food source, using landscape landmarks to stay on course. The findings reveal far greater navigational accuracy than previously assumed from the waggle dance.

Researchers in Germany have uncovered how elephants achieve their remarkable tactile precision: the whiskers covering their trunks combine a stiff base with a soft, resilient tip, creating a built-in sensing gradient.

Receipts and labels rely on heat-sensitive chemicals that can disrupt hormones and spread through recycling streams. New research demonstrates that lignin from wood can function as a low-toxicity developer in thermal paper, matching the performance of conventional materials.

Scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside ‘mini brains’ also called as human neural organoids.

A new robotic hand makes use of the Forte technology to grasp objectives that are sensitive to touch such as a potato chip or raspberries without crushing it. The innovation has the potential to improve robot performances in food processing, health care and manufacturing.

Researchers have developed a quick and accurate 3D printing method which can combine soft and hard properties into a single object by making use of different colors of light.

DNA may offer an answer to two of the digital age’s biggest challenges: how to store exploding volumes of data and how to keep it secure. Researchers at Arizona State University show that engineered DNA structures can encode vast amounts of information and even enable molecular-level encryption, pointing to a future beyond silicon-based storage.

By using strain instead of chemical modification, researchers have unlocked stronger ferroelectric behavior in sodium niobate. The breakthrough may accelerate the development of lead-free materials for medical, electronic and sensing technologies.

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich have developed fast-RSOM, a non-invasive imaging technology that visualises the smallest blood vessels through the skin and can detect early signs of cardiovascular disease long before clinical symptoms appear.
