New fossil evidence suggests the ecosystems of North and South America were connected long before the Panamanian land bridge fully formed. The findings provide fresh insights into the origins of modern biodiversity and the evolutionary history of mammal migration across the Americas.

Compounds from wolfsbane and larkspur have long been linked to pain relief, cancer therapy and other medical applications, but their complexity has hindered production. Researchers have now decoded the first stages of their biosynthesis, opening new possibilities for naturally inspired therapeutics.

Artificial intelligence, robotics, new business models, and evolving customer expectations are reshaping business and industry at an unprecedented pace. For leaders, simply reacting to change is no longer enough. What is required are strategic decisions that make organizations resilient, innovative, and future-ready. Transformation is no longer optional. It is a leadership responsibility. This will be the focus of the T3 Conference 2026.

With U.S. data centers projected to consume up to 9% of the nation's electricity by 2030, a Washington University-led team has developed a fuel cell catalyst support that could let facilities generate their own power on-site.

Researchers have developed a new laboratory model to study rare tumors—BAP1-deficient melanomas—that are resistant to immunotherapies. The model has the potential to transform how therapies are developed for aggressive melanomas that currently have almost no effective treatment options.

A new study has revealed that one is able to make better decisions and manage stress better if they have a higher resilience. It adds that higher resilience is associated with placing greater weight on positive aspects in cost-benefit decisions.

Cancer patients often face the added challenge of heart-related side effects, which can force discontinuation of anticancer therapy and reduce its effectiveness. Researchers recently presented findings on the protective effects of medical therapies recommended to treat heart failure.

In the new study, results from 214 observed experiments show that extreme heat is the dominant factor behind rice yield losses from warming. However, when compared to seven crop models, the models were shown to be less sensitive to heat extremes than the real-world observations.

Access Bio has developed the Carestart Covid-19 antigen test kit which makes use of Asahi Kasei’s Nanoact cellulose nanobeads. The test kit has been launched in the USA after receiving Emergency Use Authorization from the U.S. FDA.

Cement makes up nearly 8% of global CO₂ emissions, but ETH researchers say the industry could flip the script. By pairing cement kilns with Direct Air Capture technology that uses the same core chemistry, a new study finds emissions could drop by up to 78%, with plants ultimately removing more CO₂ than they produce.
