A new study links regular egg consumption among adults aged 65 and older with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Researchers found the strongest association among those eating at least five eggs per week.

Octopuses are remarkably intelligent creatures, as was demonstrated by Inky the Octopus's famous escape from the National Aquarium of New Zealand through a drainpipe back to sea in 2016.

Methanol is a key starting material for chemical products. Researchers from ETH Zurich can now produce this precursor from CO2 and hydrogen with high efficiency by using isolated metal atoms as catalysts.

A study in Spain and Japan suggests that people tend to turn counterclockwise when moving in groups, regardless of culture, gender or handedness. The finding could offer new insights into human locomotion, crowd dynamics and the design of public spaces.

Plastic waste could become more than an environmental burden: researchers are investigating how sunlight can turn it into hydrogen, syngas and industrial chemicals. The approach points to a possible route for cleaner fuels and circular plastics, but scaling it will depend on better sorting, more robust catalysts and economically viable reactor designs.

A new study tested six AI models developed by Meta, Google, Deepseek and Mistral AI and found that AI models can generate more complete summaries of complex cancer pathology reports than physicians.

New research has found that swapping steak for salmon once a week significantly reduced food-related carbon emissions by 28 % in the long-term, this is equivalent of a return flight from London Heathrow to Marrakech, Morocco.

Experiments with rodents show that metabolic dysfunction is “transmitted” to offspring through molecules present in sperm, causing them to become pre-diabetic. This phenomenon is reversible through weight loss before conception

Modern biologics and cell therapy programs increasingly rely on workflows that can generate high-quality cell lines and physiologically relevant 3D models with both speed and reproducibility. Yet many laboratories continue to experience bottlenecks rooted in manual processes, heterogeneous culture formats, and fragmented instrumentation. These challenges introduce variability, constrain throughput, and make it difficult to compare results across experiments or sites.

Scientists have engineered strains of a naturally occurring beneficial gut bacterium into a programmable “living medicine” to treat hepatic encephalopathy, a severe brain dysfunction linked to liver failure.
