The global cocoa production and supply is currently at risk due to climate change and crop diseases. In this background, researchers have developed two flavour-boosting techniques to transform carob pulp into a delicious and sustainable alternative to cocoa.

Ancient DNA from 28 southern African hunter-gatherers is offering one of the clearest views yet into humanity’s deep past. A new study reveals genetic adaptations tracing back 300,000 years.

New open access review explains which laboratory tools, models and tests best capture the true bioavailability of heavy metals in soil and how regulators worldwide are starting to use them.

What if the key to mindfulness wasn’t an app, a mantra, or a meditation timer — but the everyday sounds we barely notice? Stanford researchers have built a simple wearable that amplifies the quiet audio cues of daily life, helping users reconnect with the present moment in a world of constant digital distraction.

Photosynthesis underpins nearly all of the world’s food supply — yet it remains far from optimized for modern agriculture. A new review in Cell shows how advances in bioengineering are already improving photosynthetic efficiency in crops, bringing the goal of higher yields and greater food security closer to reality than ever before.

Windows are among the biggest weak points in energy-efficient buildings. A new transparent insulation material developed at the University of Colorado Boulder could change that — combining near-perfect clarity with remarkable heat-blocking performance.

Kaust has entered into three strategic MOUs with leading Italian academic and industrial institutions, as well as a new joint scholarship program. These collaborations prove beneficial for international partnerships that support the Kingdom’s scientific and economic transformation.
