Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (Sick Kids) have uncovered that stress changes how our brain encodes and retrieves aversive memories, and discovered a promising new way to restore appropriate memory specificity in people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Global warming is an escalating issue and if it worsens, researchers have revealed that some marine life could be staring at extinction over the next century.

Could a mobile app break the cycle of negative thinking that fuels depression? A new study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research reveals promising results from a gamified digital health intervention designed at Harvard Medical School.

With the help of a study, researchers have revealed that resistant bacteria can regain susceptibility to antibiotics when the treatment is combined with a material equipped with antibacterial peptides. They further state 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.

Antibiotic-resistant infections are on the rise, projected to claim nearly 2 million lives annually by 2050. In a breakthrough study, researchers at UC San Diego have uncovered a vulnerability in resistant bacteria: a physiological cost tied to their ribosomes' magnesium dependency.

Scientists have revealed in a new study that relying on ‘natural carbon sinks’ like forests and oceans to offset ongoing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use will not actually stop global warming.

A new method combining AI-based software and gradient descent optimization enables the design of large, customized proteins with precise functions. This breakthrough allows scientists to create proteins tailored for therapies, diagnostics, and other applications, marking a significant step forward in biomolecular engineering.

Imagine a shadow not cast by a solid object, but by light itself. Scientists have uncovered a way for laser beams to block one another, creating visible shadows and redefining our understanding of optics. This discovery could unlock groundbreaking applications in precision light control.

Saudi Electricity Company and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology recently commenced a pilot study demonstrating a world-first cryogenic technology that captures multiple pollutants and greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, released during the energy production process.

Global plastic waste could nearly double by 2050 without intervention, a new machine learning study warns. However, simulations show that a combination of policies — such as production caps, recycling mandates, and infrastructure investments — could slash plastic waste by over 90 % and cut plastics-related emissions by a third.
