A new German study suggests deer do not need to see predators to change their behavior — the smell alone may be enough. Researchers found that wolf and lynx scents made deer more cautious and reduced browsing damage on young trees.

Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed superhydrophobic aluminum tubes that stay afloat even when heavily damaged. By trapping a stable air bubble inside, the design could support future ships, floating platforms, and wave-energy applications.

The Solvent Line Monitor from Testa Analytical is a true plug-and-play addition to any HPLC system designed to detect when one or more of its pump solvent reservoirs are empty and automatically shut-off the system.

DNA may offer an answer to two of the digital age’s biggest challenges: how to store exploding volumes of data and how to keep it secure. Researchers at Arizona State University show that engineered DNA structures can encode vast amounts of information and even enable molecular-level encryption, pointing to a future beyond silicon-based storage.

Tiny bubbles, big ambition: Researchers have developed ultra-simple, biocompatible microrobots that can autonomously navigate the body, home in on tumors, and release cancer drugs on demand. Powered by enzymes and guided by the tumor’s own chemical signals, the so-called “bubble bots” mark a major step toward smart, clinically viable drug delivery systems.

Turning everyday waste into jet fuel: Researchers in South Korea have demonstrated a fully integrated process that converts landfill gas from food waste into sustainable aviation fuel. The pilot-scale system shows how abundant, low-cost waste streams could support decentralized SAF production and help lower the climate and cost barriers facing the aviation industry.

A new algae-based biochar material could offer a breakthrough in tackling PFAS pollution. Researchers report that a photocatalytic nanoreactor made from marine algae removes more than 97 percent of the toxic “forever chemical” PFOA from water, combining high efficiency, reusability, and easy recovery with a sustainable biomass-based design.

Researchers have identified biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease in its earliest stages even before extensive brain damage occurs. The biological processes leave measurable traces in the blood, but only for a limited period. The discovery will play a crucial role in treating the disease in the future.

With an aim to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s food systems, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and the National Agricultural Development Company will bring science and agriculture together under a partnership which will focus on applied research, innovation, and talent development.

A new study has revealed that an AI-enabled digital stethoscope more than doubled the identification of moderate to severe valvular heart disease during routine clinical examinations as compared to a traditional stethoscope.
