Pharmaceutical pollution has been found to alter the natural migration behavior of Atlantic salmon. In a large-scale field study, researchers discovered that environmental levels of clobazam — a common sleep medication — increased migration success and changed dam navigation in juvenile salmon.

Scientists have developed a substitute for the toxic PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances) also called as ‘forever chemicals’ which are widely used in everyday products despite being hazardous to health and the environment.

Zeiss has recently announced the new Zeiss Crossbeam 550 Samplefab, a focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) optimized for fully automated preparation of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) samples (lamellae).

This affordably priced addition to the Ziath range combines the proven 2D-barcode reading technology of the Uno single tube reader with the fast accurate linear barcode reading of the company’s Cyclops adaptor.

A new study calls into question the feasibility of assessment of the risk for sudden cardiac death as basis for a personalized decision on preventive defibrillator implantation.

A new study shows that bio-based materials may pose a higher health risk to some of the planet's most crucial species than the conventional plastics they aim to replace. The research has led scientists to suggest that materials being advocated as alternatives to plastic should be tested thoroughly before they are used extensively in a range of products.

Many people underestimate their wrist flexibility, according to new research. Participants in the study misjudged their mobility by about ten degrees in several directions. This hidden potential could have implications for sports and rehab, revealing that we may be more flexible than we think

The Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) demonstrates that storm Boris would have produced 9 % less rain without global warming, highlighting climate change’s effect on extreme weather. AWI’s new modelling approach, “storylines,” visualizes the impact of climate change on current weather events, making complex data more understandable.

Stanford engineers are tackling the challenge of plant-based meat development with a fresh perspective: mechanical texture testing combined with machine learning. Their innovative method mimics human taste testers and could accelerate the creation of convincing meat alternatives, paving the way for more sustainable diets without sacrificing texture or taste.

Sleep can affect a child’s attitude and behavior, as many parents can attest, but a consistent bedtime may be more influential than sleep quality or duration, according to a new publication authored by researchers in the Penn State College of Health and Human Development and Penn State College of Medicine.
