Researchers have made use of experiments and computational modeling to study interactions between carbon molecules and clay minerals in the soil. They found that electrostatic charges, structural features of carbon molecules, surrounding metal nutrients in soil and competition among molecules all play major roles in the soil’s ability or inability to trap carbon.

Researchers have made use of a novel AI-based method called Drfold to enhance the accuracy of RNA models by more than 70 percent when compared to traditional approaches.

Researchers have developed a new therapy which selectively targets immune cells responsible for allergic responses. A pilot study was also carried out on mice and it was noted that the therapy demonstrated 100 % success in preventing allergic responses without causing noticeable side effects.

With the global population projected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, prioritizing rapid and accurate monitoring is crucial. Researchers emphasize the need for collaboration across various fields, including agronomy, engineering, medicine, and materials science, to harness the full potential of new technologies.

Researchers from the University of California San Diego have crafted materials that illuminate upon experiencing mechanical stress, inspired by bioluminescent waves from dinoflagellates observed during red tide events. These innovative materials, made from dinoflagellates and a seaweed polymer, require no external power and can be shaped using 3D printers.

Air quality in the office may affect our level of creativity at work, scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have found.

Researchers have developed new virtual reality goggles for mice. With the help of these immersive googles, they aim to accurately and precisely study the neural circuitry that underlies behavior.

Fraunhofer researchers, in collaboration with partners, have developed a groundbreaking composite material for treating non-union bone fractures. This new scaffold, made of a biodegradable polymer and bioactive glass, is designed to accelerate healing and prevent infection.

The University of Ottawa, in collaboration with national and international partners, has achieved a groundbreaking feat by producing the world's first back-contact micrometric photovoltaic cells. These ultra-small cells, only twice the thickness of a strand of hair, offer significant advantages over traditional solar technologies.

A new AI model developed by chemists at ETH Zurich can not only predict where a pharmaceutically active molecule can be chemically modified, but also how best to do it. This makes it possible to identify new pharmaceutical ingredients more quickly and improve existing ones in a targeted manner.
