A new study has revealed that bumblebees cannot even taste lethal concentrations of pesticides that are present in nectar. This puts them at high risk of pesticide exposure and poses a threat to crop pollination.

As part of the Ice Memory initiative, researchers analysed ice cores drilled in 2018 and 2020 from the Corbassière glacier at Grand Combin in the canton of Valais. A comparison of the two sets of ice cores published in Nature Geoscience shows: Global warming has made at least this glacier unusable as a climate archive.

Head-direction cells in the brain, often considered the “internal compass,” are now believed to play a broader role. Researchers at the University of Tübingen discovered that these cells in mice not only aid in spatial orientation but also relay sensory and emotional information, possibly contributing to episodic memory formation.

A study has revealed that about 40 % of Type 2 diabetic patients stopped taking their second-line medication in the US. It also highlighted that discontinuation was higher (50 %) among GLP-1 RA drugs, which are linked to gastrointestinal side effects.

The University of Oxford has launched a new clinical trial to test the Chadox1 Nipahb vaccine against the Nipah Virus. Currently, there are no approved vaccines or treatments for the disease.

Researchers at Georgia Tech's School of Biological Sciences have successfully engineered yeast to become phototrophs, organisms that can harness and utilize energy from light. This breakthrough could have significant implications for various fields, including biofuel production, evolution studies, and understanding cellular aging.

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.

Researchers have analysed the rise of antibiotic resistance over the last 20 years in the UK and Norway, highlighting that antibiotic use is not the only factor in the increase.

A new research has revealed that the manner in which our brain learns things is different and better than the way artificial systems learn. This insight may help AI developers to develop better learning algorithms in their systems.

A new study reveals a novel approach using titanium dioxide and visible light to efficiently produce sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds. This innovative method holds promise for revolutionizing the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, offering a sustainable and cost-effective alternative for producing complex organic materials.
