Jennifer Acuff and her team at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture developed a food processing method that optimizes the preservation of vitamins, minerals, and flavor in low-moisture foods like powdered milk. This new framework allows the food industry to tailor safety standards within FDA guidelines, ensuring both consumer safety and product excellence.

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. A study found that human neurons communicate in one direction, while in mice, signals tend to flow in loops. This increases the efficiency and capacity of the human brain to process information.

Scientists have developed the first wireless, implantable temperature sensor to detect inflammatory flareups in patients with Crohn’s disease. The approach could help clinicians to act earlier to prevent or limit the permanent damage caused by inflammatory episodes.

University of Utah biologists have uncovered intriguing differences in heart regeneration between zebrafish, which can heal its own heart, and medaka, which cannot. Their research reveals unique immune responses and cellular interactions that could inform future treatments for human heart patients.

Researchers at TU Wien and the Università Politecnica delle Marche have created a wall paint that cleans and refreshes the air we breathe. Infused with special titanium oxide nanoparticles, this paint doesn't just capture air pollutants — it destroys them with the power of sunlight.

Pet dogs and cats play an important role in the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, new research presented at the Escmid Global Congress in Barcelona, Spain (27-30 April) suggests.

Researchers have revealed that they are another step closer to cure the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Aids epidemic. In a study, researchers have shown that a virus-like particle (HLP) can effectively 'shock and kill' the latent HIV reservoir.

Engineers have developed a program through which people can play games on their computers or laptops only with the help of their thoughts. This brain-computer interface aims to improve the lives of people with motor disabilities.

Researchers from the University of Leicester developed an AI tool that has shown an 80 % accuracy rate in predicting lethal heart rhythm conditions. This tool, VA-ResNet-50, analyzed Holter ECGs from 270 adults, identifying those at risk of ventricular arrhythmias — a rapid heart condition that can lead to sudden death.

Scientists at RMIT University have developed a revolutionary virus-killing surface that promises to transform how we combat the spread of diseases in critical settings like hospitals and laboratories. This innovative material, crafted from silicon and featuring microscopic nanospikes, demonstrates remarkable efficacy.
