A research has revealed that a sock fitted with a ballistocardiogram sensor could help to distinguish between healthy people and patients with diabetes. The research is presented for the first time at EHRA 2024, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology.

Researchers at Ritsumeikan University are revolutionizing solar energy capture with a bio-inspired “leaf LSC” design. This innovative approach overcomes longstanding challenges in scaling luminescent solar concentrators, paving the way for more efficient and adaptable solar energy solutions that could transform everything from large-scale installations to building-integrated systems.

Researchers at the University of Sheffield have discovered how a hospital superbug Clostridioides difficile (C.diff) can rapidly evolve resistance to vancomycin, the frontline drug used in the UK. The scientists found that in less than two months the bacteria could develop resistance to 32 times the initial antibiotic concentration.

A new Cornell study reveals that deep sleep does more than recharge your body — it resets your brain’s memory circuits. This breakthrough explains how we keep learning without maxing out our neurons, offering insights into boosting memory and potentially treating conditions like Alzheimer’s and PTSD.

Aramco has plans to fund the hefty amount to Kaust in order to support research and development projects over the next 10 years. Aramco and Kaust will collaborate across diverse areas such as energy transition, sustainability, materials transition, upstream technologies and digital solutions, with an emphasis on developing commercially viable outcomes.

Scientists have graphically illustrated global concentrations of a major air pollutant for the first time using Air Quality Stripes, revealing stark contrasts in air quality improvements across Europe and worsening conditions in parts of Africa and Central Asia. The visualizations highlight global disparities in air pollution.

The unique cryo-focused ion beam-scanning electron microscope make use of a technology that is capable of producing high-resolution imaging of a single protein — around 50 billion times smaller than a human cell. Researchers from the GW4 Alliance universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff and Exeter will greatly benefit from this technology

A new study sheds light on the evolutionary history of tardigrades, the resilient "water bears" capable of surviving extreme conditions. Researchers used advanced microscopy techniques to examine fossil specimens preserved in amber, leading to the identification of a new species.

Overfishing has pushed many global fish stocks to the brink, driven by catch limits that often exceed scientific recommendations. A new study finds that even these scientifically advised limits have been set too high, leading to overly optimistic assessments of fish population recoveries and a failure to reduce catch rates when necessary.

Researchers have demonstrated that non-living hydrogels can play and improve at the video game Pong by leveraging a form of “memory”. By creating a feedback loop between the hydrogels and a virtual environment, the hydrogels' performance improved with experience, showcasing their ability to adapt and enhance their gameplay over time.
