Researchers at the National University of Singapore have developed flexible fibres with self-healing, light-emitting and magnetic properties. The novel multifunctional Shine fibres enhance human-robot interactions in applications ranging from smart textiles to robotics.

A large-scale study in Sweden suggests that drinking sweetened drinks significantly increases your risk of serious cardiovascular disease, but limited consumption of treats doesn’t.

Experts from the European Society of Cardiology have emphasized that heart and cardiovascular health must be included as early as possible in the patient’s cancer treatment plan to ensure the best possible outcomes.

The rate of gestational diabetes among pregnant women in the U.S. has significantly increased in recent years. In this background, a new nationwide study is being carried out in the USA to examine whether medically tailored meals can help address the rise in gestational diabetes mellitus.

A balanced and nutritious breakfast, providing 20–30 % of daily energy needs, may significantly reduce cardiovascular risk factors, according to a new study. Researchers highlight the importance of not just eating breakfast, but ensuring its quality to support healthier aging and lower chronic disease risks.

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries power everything from electric vehicles to wearable devices. But new research from Case Western Reserve University suggests that a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative may lie in zinc-based batteries.

How long do plastics like polyethylene take to biodegrade, and what factors influence the process? A pioneering research project led by Professor Stefan Mecking at the University of Konstanz aims to uncover the answers, developing innovative methods to track and quantify plastic decomposition in nature.

Arizona State University and Banner Alzheimer’s Institute researchers, along with their collaborators, have discovered a surprising link between a chronic gut infection caused by a common virus and the development of Alzheimer’s disease in a subset of people.

Researchers have found out that people with wide-ranging long Covid symptoms were twice as likely to have SARS-Cov-2 proteins in their blood, compared to those without long Covid symptoms.

A new research shows that resistant bacteria can regain susceptibility to antibiotics when the treatment is combined with a material equipped with antibacterial peptides. It also reveals that antibiotics can achieve a 64-fold increase in bactericidal effect when used together with the material, whose antibacterial properties are also greatly enhanced by this combination.
