A tiny battery designed by MIT engineers could enable the deployment of cell-sized, autonomous robots for drug delivery within in the human body, as well as other applications such as locating leaks in gas pipelines.

Potatoes, often stigmatized in dieting circles, may soon be recognized for their health benefits, particularly for those with Type 2 diabetes. New research led by UNLV's Neda Akhavan reveals that when prepared properly, potatoes can lower blood sugar, improve heart health, and aid in weight management.

A breakthrough study has recently revealed how Covid-19 vaccines can prevent severe disease. Researchers conducted an extensive investigation into the human immune response to Covid-19, in both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

A recent study involving 46 million adults from England has revealed that the incidence of heart attacks and strokes had reduced after taking the Covid-19 vaccination.

Researchers are making use of artificial intelligence to develop new, safe and effective antibiotics for humans. They have engineered a version of a bacteria-killing drug that was previously toxic in humans, so that it would be safe to use.

Probably everyone has heard the conventional wisdom that a glass of wine a day is good for you — or you’ve heard some variation of it. The problem is that it’s based on flawed scientific research, according to a new report in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with several universities, have developed biodegradable and recyclable luminescent polymers. These polymers, essential in electronics for their light-emitting properties, can now be broken down and reused without losing functionality.

Researchers at Cemm have developed a revolutionary method, vpCells, for observing proteins within living cells using multiple fluorescent colors. This technique allows for simultaneous labeling of numerous proteins, preserving their natural functions and enhancing visualization.

After a series of laborious yet informative experiments conducted in the Monteverde mountain region of Costa Rica, biologists have revealed that a warmer climate will lead to the loss of many plant species.

A soft and worm-like robot which expands and contracts just like a human muscle has been developed by engineers. The unique quality of this robot is that it also stiffens like a human muscle.
