Researchers have disclosed in a study the close relation between physical activity, sleep quality and psychological health. It mentioned that engaging in both low-intensity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was linked to deeper, more restorative sleep, and that better sleep was in turn associated with more energy and less stress the following morning.

Toxic chemicals used to flame-proof plastic materials can be absorbed into the body through skin, via contact with microplastics, new research shows.

An international collaboration of researchers has achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum technology. The work published in the prestigious journal Science Advances represents a notable advancement in optical quantum computing that paves the way for more scalable quantum technologies.

A new heart disease calculator has been developed by experts which helps to accurately predict an individual's ten-year risk of cardiovascular diseases, like heart disease and stroke, particularly identifying high-risk patients that current prediction tools miss.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have cultivated bacteria in the laboratory in such a way that they can efficiently utilise methanol. The metabolism of these bacteria can now be tapped into to produce valuable products that the chemical industry currently extracts from fossil raw materials.

Researchers have developed a new method which helps to fight the blockage of tiny coronary arteries after a heart attack. The new approach can be used to prevent the death of heart tissue after a heart attack.

Researchers will undertake three different projects which will focus on understanding inflammatory responses and how to treat heart disease caused by inflammation, specifically in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

A study by the University of Basel, employing new genetic analysis methods, reveals how curiosity is genetically embedded in cichlids, and possibly linked to evolutionary and species diversification processes. This research not only deepens understanding of animal behavior but hints at genetic connections relevant to human psychological health.

Researchers have developed a new tool for assessing moderate-to-severe kidney injury after receiving the chemotherapy drug cisplatin. Cisplatin is a highly effective chemotherapy that has been used to treat cancer but it can cause kidney injury that can potentially lead to the discontinuation of life-saving cancer treatments.

Artificial photosynthesis is the topic of a junior research group at the Institute of Chemistry. The researchers want to develop precious metal-free catalyst materials to process carbon dioxide with the help of sunlight.
