A new study has revealed that a father’s diet before conception has the potential to influence placenta development and fetus growth. The study focused on male mice that were fed different diets for eight weeks before mating.

The EU’s carbon border adjustment could do more than protect European industry from carbon leakage. A new PIK-led study suggests that CBAM may also push major trading partners such as Canada, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan to adopt their own carbon pricing, significantly increasing global emissions reductions.

Soft, stretchable and adhesive bioelectronics could bring wearable and implantable biosensors closer to long-term medical use. New Caltech studies show how flexible materials, wet-tissue adhesion and closed-loop sensing platforms may enable continuous monitoring and adaptive therapy inside and outside the body.

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.

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.

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.

Researchers in Austria have shown that swimming E. coli can generate enough hydrodynamic torque in confined spaces to rotate tiny symmetric discs. The finding sheds new light on how bacteria behave in tight environments and could help inspire new soft materials and microscopic contactless engines.

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.

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.
