By implementing an innovative technology, any wastewater treatment plant would be able to produce methane from carbon dioxide in an environmentally friendly way.

Researchers at the UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a blood test to predict the risk of liver cancer in patients that have the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The protein levels in the blood samples of these patients determine if they can develop the deadly disease.

A new machine learning model will help scientists identify small molecules, with applications in medicine, drug discovery and environmental chemistry. Developed by researchers at Aalto University and the University of Luxembourg, the model was trained with data from dozens of laboratories to become one of the most accurate tools for identifying small molecules.

Researchers at the University of Turku have concluded in a study that similar brain activity can be witnessed by various people while observing social situations. This is the result of an extensive neural network in the human brain that processes various social information.

A new research has revealed that extreme heat will be the reason behind the mass extinction of humans and mammals on earth in the future. With the sun emitting more energy and warming the Earth, tectonic processes will also occur in the Earth’s crust that would lead to more frequent volcanic eruptions, thus warming the planet even further.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an upcycling approach that adds value to discarded plastics for reuse in additive manufacturing, or 3D printing.

The mosquito species Culex modestus has been found in Finland for the first time. In Southern Europe it is known to spread West Nile virus, but it is highly unlikely for the disease to occur in Finland.

Researchers have revealed that practicing mindfulness can help people to make heart-healthy eating choices leading to improved health behaviours which lowers blood pressure and is ultimately good for the heart.

An international research group has investigated the mechanisms of cell migration and the impact of tissue rigidity on cell positioning and steering. The research sheds light on e.g. cancer cell migration and opens new possibilities for stopping and directing it.

Scientists have recorded the first direct evidence that babies react differently to various smells and tastes while in the womb. The Study took 4D ultrasound scans of 100 pregnant women to see how their unborn babies responded to flavours from foods eaten by their mothers.
