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.

In a study, researchers have found that stair climbing was associated with a 24 % reduced risk of dying from any cause and a 39 % lower likelihood of dying from cardiovascular disease as compared to people not climbing stairs.

A new Netflix documentary, produced by BBC Studios' Science Unit, explores the fascinating reconstruction of the face of a 75,000-year-old female Neanderthal. This ambitious project revealed not only the physical appearance of Neanderthals, but also their cultural practices.

MIT physicists have developed a new technique to position atoms at unprecedentedly close distances of just 50 nanometers, enhancing magnetic interactions by a thousandfold. This breakthrough allows for the observation of new quantum phenomena, such as synchronized oscillations and thermalization between atomic layers, opening new avenues for the development of quantum materials and computing.

PCBs, integral for housing and connecting electronic components, have traditionally been non-recyclable composites of glass fiber and plastic, often ending up in landfills or incinerated to recover valuable metals. In response, University of Washington researchers have pioneered a recyclable PCB using vitrimers, innovative polymers that can be dissolved, reformed, and reused with minimal material loss.

A new study unveils a catalyst that transforms CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO), a precursor to creating synthetic fuels that could replace gasoline. This breakthrough, using molybdenum carbide derived from common sugar, offers a stable, affordable, and scalable solution to utilize captured CO2.

Researcher Hangbo Zhao from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering has developed highly stretchable and customizable microneedles with potential applications in neuroscience, tissue engineering, and wearable bioelectronics. These innovative microneedles offer promising new avenues for advanced medical treatments and technologies.

Swedish researchers at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg have developed an AI method that improves the identification of toxic chemicals — based solely on knowledge of the molecular structure. The method can contribute to better control and understanding of the ever-growing number of chemicals used in society, and can also help reduce the amount of animal tests.

A study has found that we become lonely as we age especially during older adulthood. It further reveals that a lack of connection can increase the risk for premature death to levels comparable to smoking daily.

Estuaries, where rivers meet the sea, not only provide scenic spots but also present unique opportunities for generating renewable energy through osmotic power. Researchers have developed a new semipermeable membrane that leverages the salt gradients in these waters to produce electricity.
