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.

Researchers have now revealed new compounds that are capable of offering the same benefits as exercise. This discovery could play a potential role in treating patients with muscle atrophy and other medical conditions.

Conventional production of medications, plastics, and fertilizers requires heat for chemical reactions, unlike photochemistry which uses light. This method typically requires fewer steps. University of Basel researchers have shown how to make photochemical reactions ten times more energy-efficient, paving the way for more sustainable and cost-effective applications.

Researchers have developed a new soft, flexible, battery-free implant that attaches to the bladder wall to sense filling. People suffering from paralysis, spina bifida, bladder cancer or end-stage bladder disease in which bladder function is often compromised, and bladder reconstruction surgery may be required will find the new implant useful.

A study has found that the fertility of both male and female tsetse flies was damaged after just one heatwave. This is a matter of concern as it could lead to insect biodiversity loss in the background of frequently occurring heatwaves.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin are making use of artificial intelligence and biosensors to develop drugs faster. They are currently utilizing AI and genetically modified bacteria to ferment the Alzheimer’s drug Galantamine.

Researchers led by Professor Gary Lewin at the Max Delbrück Center have identified a new ion channel, Elkin1, crucial for touch perception, complementing the previously known Piezo2 channel. This discovery, confirmed through experiments on mice and human sensory neurons, opens new avenues for understanding touch and potentially treating chronic pain.
