Water is the most commonly used solvent in the laboratory. It is available in several grades of purity. An important parameter here is the pH value.

Delivering drugs to the brain is a major challenge due to the protective blood-brain barrier. Now, researchers have uncovered how tiny gas-filled microbubbles, activated by ultrasound, can create microscopic jets that gently pierce cell membranes — allowing medication to reach its target with unprecedented precision.

New research has revealed that greater openness about complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) use in dairy farming can strengthen farmer-vet relationships, prevent potential unintended harm to animals, reduce antibiotic use and also enhance herd health management.

At the Marine Biological Laboratory, scientists have ingeniously fused two powerful imaging techniques — polarized fluorescence and dual-view light sheet microscopy — to create a groundbreaking hybrid microscope. This innovation enables researchers to capture both the 3D orientation and position of molecules inside cells.

Scientists have revealed how humans learn to optimize working memory and they also shed light on dopamine-related disorders such as Parkinson’s, ADHD and schizophrenia.

Columbia Engineering researchers have developed a method for robots to gain kinematic self-awareness — learning about their own bodies and movements simply by watching themselves on camera. This allows robots to adapt to damage, refine their actions, and operate without constant human intervention.

Researchers have adapted AI to drastically simplify microscopy segmentation. Segment Anything for Microscopy (μSAM) allows scientists to analyze cells and tissues in minutes instead of weeks, unlocking new possibilities in biomedical research.

A study has revealed that a healthy diet in early pregnancy helps to support the child's motor development at the age of 5–6 years. It also shares that mothers with higher maternal body fat mass have an adverse effect on the child's motor development.

Researchers have revealed that big birds such as emus which have previously been called the world’s dumbest bird is capable of technical innovation and solving tricky problems.

Composite adhesives like epoxy resins are excellent tools for joining and filling materials including wood, metal, and concrete. But there’s one problem: once a composite sets, it’s there forever. Now there’s a better way.
