Your breath could soon replace blood tests for tracking metabolism. ETH Zurich scientists have built a handheld device — as easy to use as a police breathalyser — that detects fat-burning with lab-grade accuracy from a single breath, no needles required.

Exposure to a widely used herbicide during the middle months of pregnancy may increase the chance of giving birth too early, before 37 weeks, a new study shows.

Researchers have uncovered fresh insights into the aerodynamic benefits birds gain when flying in a “V” formation. The findings could have implications for engineered systems too.

A new study has revealed that even if current global carbon emissions pledges are fulfilled, around 1.4 million more people in the UK could face heightened risk of coastal flooding by the year 2200.

New research has found that like humans, mice also can take a single sniff to deliberately probe their environment — something scientists previously did not know.

A new study has examined how temperature-associated suicide mortality will change by the 2050s under various climate change scenarios. It also revealed that temperature-related suicide mortality is expected to increase in all studied areas as temperatures rise in the future.

A study has revealed that patients that suffer from a heart attack have higher levels of micro and nanoplastics in their blood as compared to patients diagnosed with chronic ischemic heart disease and those who have normal blood vessels supplying the heart.

A study has revealed that portable air filters do not cut respiratory and other infections in older people’s care homes. It suggests that care homes continue with standard infection control methods, including vaccinations, regular cleaning and hand washing.

From healthcare and climate science to farming and AI safety, UK's most powerful AI supercomputer, Isambard-AI, is helping researchers tackle some of the world's biggest challenges.

Researchers have developed a new type of 3D-printable material that mimics the human tissue’s ability to sort and filter, allowing certain molecules to pass through while keeping others out. This material can be used in a variety of applications across medicine, water and robotics.
