A study has revealed that Heliconius butterflies can demonstrate a remarkable ability to learn and remember spatial information about their food sources. This ability is owing to their unusually expanded brain structures which display a fascinating mosaic pattern of neural expansion linked to a cognitive innovation.

Scientists have traced Earth’s volatile elements, essential for life, to meteorites using zinc’s unique chemical fingerprint. Their study reveals that unmelted asteroids were crucial in delivering the necessary volatiles, such as water, to Earth. This research not only sheds light on Earth’s origins but could also guide the search for habitable planets in distant star systems.

In a pioneering advance for drug development, scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (Kaist) have developed a pioneering technology that enables the precise and rapid editing of key atoms responsible for drug efficacy.

Researchers at Kist and Kumoh National Institute of Technology have developed a method to lower the sintering temperature for protonic ceramic cells, improving electrolyte performance and doubling power density. This breakthrough enhances efficiency and stability, paving the way for the commercialization of next-generation hydrogen energy technologies.

Researchers have developed devices for rapid detection of cardiorespiratory diseases and stroke under the Poc4triage project which is being led by the University of Turku. The project has secured a funding of 9.4 million euros by the EU's Horizon Europe programme.

A new study reveals that the AMY1 gene, which helps digest starch, began duplicating over 800,000 years ago. This early genetic change allowed humans to better adapt to starchy diets, shaping how we process foods like bread and pasta today.

Researchers have discovered that combining visible light with electrochemistry can significantly boost the conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable products. In a surprising twist, they found that light not only speeds up the reaction but also improves chemical selectivity, paving the way for more efficient CO2 reduction and other catalytic processes.

Researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign propose a groundbreaking model to understand childhood appetite self-regulation, highlighting how biological, psychological, and social factors shape children's eating behaviors.

There have been a high number of olive oil fraud and mislabeling in Europe this year and the Saudi Food and Drug Authority has collaborated with Kaust to create a new method that can identify and quantify the adulterants in olive oil.

Shimadzu’s new ultrasonic optical flaw detector Miv-X can detect flaws on – and even under – the surface. Miv-X not only detects cracks, voids, delamination, etc. but also visually displays them.
