A new study from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) reveals that exposure to air pollutants, like fine particles (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), during pregnancy and childhood can lead to lasting changes in brain white matter, persisting into adolescence.

Antarctica is turning green. A new study reveals that the Antarctic Peninsula’s vegetation cover has expanded rapidly due to climate change. Scientists warn that this greening trend could reshape the fragile Antarctic ecosystem, raising concerns about the arrival of invasive species and the future of this iconic wilderness

Liquefied natural gas leaves a greenhouse gas footprint that is 33 % worse than coal, when processing and shipping are taken into account, according to a new Cornell study.

Scientists have developed a new type of artificial spider silk made from proteins that can be woven into bandages for healing wounds. Unlike traditional spider silk, which is difficult to produce, this version is created using microbes and can be spun into strong fibers.

Researchers at Umeå University have explained a 50-year-old mystery, showing how graphite transforms into graphite oxide during electrochemical oxidation. Rapid snapshots revealed intermediate structures in what they describe as a new oscillating reaction.

Researchers have expanded kombucha brewing beyond tea, fermenting apple and passion fruit juices to create unique beverages. Their study found that fermented apple juice outshone traditional kombucha in flavonoid content.

Researchers have revealed in a new study that reducing daily sitting prevented back pain from worsening over six months. They have also shared that physical activity, such as walking or more brisk exercise, is better than simply standing up.

A new study has revealed that global warming along with other factors maybe the reason behind the Indo-Pacific region witnessing vital changes in tropical weather patterns that are leading to an increased frequency of extreme weather events such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall.

A world leading study has begun in Bristol, UK, where 100,000 newborn babies will be selected for full genomic sequencing. The screening involves whole genome sequencing of a blood sample, usually taken from the umbilical cord shortly after birth.

Researchers have found that the Comamonas bacterium from Comamonadacae which comes from a common family of environmental bacteria has the capacity to break down plastic for food. This finding could help to develop bioengineering solutions to get rid of plastic waste present in the environment.
