It has been assumed that the Vikings were trading in stockfish, but so far solid evidence has been lacking. With new methods, it is possible to extract ancient DNA from fishbone remnants and reveal the source of the stockfish.

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a way to make Colloidal Quantum Dots produce laser light with the help of an electric field.

In April 2022, the EU-funded project “Smart Electronic Olfaction for Body Odor Diagnostics” — Smellodi for short — started with the kick-off meeting. The objective is to develop intelligent electronic sensor systems that can distinguish between healthy body odors and those altered by disease and transmit them digitally.

Using four low-cost smartphone cameras and some simple colored backlighting, researchers could construct a tomographic particle image velocimetry (PIV) system that is capable of quantitative flow visualization.

The National Innovation Foundation of India has developed and standardized a polyherbal formulation which makes use of Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Nagod (Vitex negundo) to combat tick infestation among dairy animals.

Laboratory technicians often don't know which test weights and weight class they should choose to check the performance of their balances and scales. The free Mettler Toledo GWP Recommendation service specifies the correct test weights and weight class based on the degree of accuracy you need to satisfy your specific process tolerances.

Conventional wastewater disinfection using chlorine could facilitate the spread of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria. Treating some types of wastewater with ultraviolet (UV) light instead could be part of the solution, according to a study at Kaust’s Water Desalination and Reuse Center.

In a new study by Arizona State University, researchers have discovered a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease wherein they are able to carry out a process for converting non-neuronal cells into functioning neurons in the brain which can then dispense dopamine and restore dopaminergic cells destroyed by the Parkinson’s disease.

Researchers at the University of Amsterdam and the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research have revealed that Sowerby’s Beaked Whale are fast and have a special deep-sea hunting strategy as compared to other beaked whales. These whales can consistently swim faster, perform shorter deep dives, and echolocate at a faster rate.

Persistence Market Research (PMR), in its report titled, "DNA and RNA Sample Preparation Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast, 2017-2025" has provided a detailed analysis on the global DNA and RNA sample preparation market.
