Researchers in Austria have shown that swimming E. coli can generate enough hydrodynamic torque in confined spaces to rotate tiny symmetric discs. The finding sheds new light on how bacteria behave in tight environments and could help inspire new soft materials and microscopic contactless engines.

By capturing intensity and phase changes in a single measurement, new method could help scientists design new materials, explore biological processes and advance high-power lasers.

A recent pilot study has revealed that liver screening at health clinics can prevent liver diseases. It shares that the best path for addressing liver disease is to identify the issue early on and make lifestyle changes accordingly.

The first fossil egg ever found from a mammal ancestor is offering rare insight into how Lystrosaurus survived Earth’s greatest mass extinction. The discovery not only settles a long-running question about early mammalian reproduction, but also points to egg-laying and rapid development as key survival traits in a hostile prehistoric world.

A new proteomics method is shedding light on how the blood-brain barrier opens and closes. By identifying two proteins that help preserve barrier integrity, researchers have uncovered molecular pathways that could inform future therapies for neurological diseases and improve drug delivery to the brain.

A plant-based diet may help lower the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, but quality appears to make the difference. A large long-term study suggests that diets rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes are associated with lower dementia risk, while less healthful plant-based eating patterns may raise it.

In a new study conducted by Finnish researchers it was found that haemoglobin levels that are within normal range but towards the lower end may be associated with many health benefits such as better glucose metabolism, physical fitness, cardiovascular health and reduced liver fat.

New research reveals that chicks benefit from gentle human touch just like all other pets. Human interactions not only prevent fear but also triggers positive emotions in baby chicks.

Researchers at McMaster University have developed a new generative artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of drastically speeding up drug discovery — and, in early tests, it has already designed a brand-new antibiotic.

Researchers have developed an electronic tattoo for leaves that uses hyperflexible and sustainable material graphene to track hydration levels in plant leaves. This solution could predict wildfires, improve agricultural yield, conserve water and food security.
