Why did mollusks survive Earth’s largest mass extinction while many brachiopods disappeared? A Stanford-led study links the unequal losses to differences in metabolic tolerance, showing how rapidly warming, oxygen-poor oceans reshaped marine life 252 million years ago.

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) is a key parameter that reflects the state of aquatic ecosystems or the conditions in water treatment. In this article, you will learn about the different sensors available for determining DO and how they are used.

Tattoo-like leaf sensors and stretchable stem bands could help farmers detect drought, salinity and other crop stresses before visible damage appears. Powered by moisture evaporating from the plant, the battery-free wearables monitor water loss and growth in real time.

A global study of more than 214,000 older adults shows that modifiable dementia risk factors vary sharply between countries, even as cardiovascular and behavioural risks often cluster in similar ways. The findings suggest that effective dementia prevention must combine locally tailored measures with strategies addressing common risk patterns.

Blue LED light and familiar chemical building blocks could help chemists create more complex drug molecules in fewer steps. A new method modifies two neighbouring carbon atoms in a single reaction, potentially accelerating pharmaceutical research while reducing time and cost.

People are increasingly choosing to limit or reject the use of AI tools, according to a new report published by the Digital Futures Institute at King’s College London and Responsible AI UK.

The expanded strategic collaboration adds two biologics programs to be produced commercially, with the option for two more. It also aims to further strengthen an established multi-year relationship.

Bayer has collaborated with Iambic Therapeutics to discover new medicines using Iambic’s AI-driven platform. With this move, Bayer aims to identify novel drug entry points and differentiated molecules to address otherwise hard-to-drug targets.

PFAS are notoriously difficult to destroy, but new treatment approaches could weaken their most resilient bonds. Plasma and cavitation technologies are now being explored as potential tools for cleaning contaminated water more effectively.

Drinking water with meals may not curb appetite as widely assumed, while extra spice could help people eat less. Cornell researchers found that bite-and-sip patterns and slower eating may have a greater influence on food intake than previously thought.
