A fossil, once thought to be a critical link in understanding early reptile evolution, has been revealed as partially forged, according to a study led by Dr. Valentina Rossi from University College Cork. The fossil of Tridentinosaurus antiquus, found in the Italian Alps in 1931 and believed to showcase preserved soft tissues, was actually black paint on rock.

A new study has revealed that bumblebees cannot even taste lethal concentrations of pesticides that are present in nectar. This puts them at high risk of pesticide exposure and poses a threat to crop pollination.

An urgent call to action from Stanford and Sorbonne University researchers unveils a hidden ecological crisis: the invasion of North America by 70 alien earthworm species. Published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, their study reveals these invaders' widespread colonization, posing significant risks to native ecosystems.

Researchers have discovered that the human brain processes direct speech and its echo as separate entities, enabling effective communication even in echo-prone environments.

A new research has found that the rubisco enzyme which fixes billions of tons of CO2 every year is improving but gradually. The results have the potential to open up new routes to strengthen food security.

Machine learning algorithms and cognitive science have been combined to create a new predictive model which ‘gets at how we make choices about medical decisions.’

Scientists have developed a novel triple-junction perovskite/Si tandem solar cell by making use of a new cyanate-integrated perovskite solar cell that is stable and energy efficient. The tandem solar cell can achieve a certified world-record power conversion efficiency of 27.1 per cent across a solar energy absorption area of 1 sq cm.

Scientists make use of tissue-like, bioengineered hydrogels to keep the patient’s tumor alive even after it has been removed from the body. This process helps to customize the treatment plan and significantly reduces drug testing and screening time for cancer patients.

Covid-19's ability to cause long-term loss of smell in some patients has been linked to a reduction in the nasal mucosa's olfactory neuron population, according to recent research by Inrae and Enva. Their findings reveal that early treatment with dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, can significantly enhance smell recovery.

Marine scientists have revealed that the rising sea levels in the Gulf of Mexico can be linked to a loss of valuable seagrass habitats in Texas, USA. Seagrasses are foundation species that play a key role in supporting fisheries and mitigating climate change, efficiently storing substantial amounts of carbon.
