Brainworms are claimed to be the leading factor behind the declining moose population in Minnesota, USA. Researchers have found out that moose in Minnesota consume species of gastropods which is home to brainworm parasites.

After more than 30 years, Japanese scientists rediscovered a rare plant that was presumed extinct. This unexpected find and subsequent investigations have shed new light on the Ethereal Fairy Lantern and its evolutionary history.

Researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are exploring next-generation approaches to develop improved mucosal vaccines in order to prevent important respiratory viral diseases.

In AVS Quantum Science, by AIP Publishing, researchers from the National Energy Technology Laboratory and the University of Kentucky deployed an algorithm to study amine reactions through quantum computing. The algorithm can be run on an existing quantum computer to find useful amine compounds for carbon capture more quickly.

New CU Boulder research finds that the presence of clouds — or lack thereof — caused by the smoke of wildfires thousands of miles away can either help protect or endanger Arctic sea ice.

A new biosensor engineered by Penn State researchers offers scientists the first dynamic glimpses of manganese, an elusive metal ion that is essential for life.

The German research institute Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung has been selected for the international project – Ambh2er which aims to deliver a greener synthesis of ammonia. With 16 partners from science and industry, the project is scheduled to run for four years and intends to contribute towards the European Green Deal.

People often assume that the products they use every day are safe. Now a new study by Silent Spring Institute and University of California, Berkeley exposes how much people come into contact with toxic ingredients in products, used at home and at work, that could harm their health. Findings from the analysis could help state and federal agencies strengthen chemical regulations and guide manufacturers in making safer products.

Researchers have used crab carbon derived from crab shells to develop anode materials for the next generation of rechargeable batteries i.e. sodium-ion batteries. This work could pave the way for researchers to explore other wastes in order to develop more sustainable solutions.

Much-loved species like pandas and polar bears are widely used in conservation campaigns. However, a new study argues that individual animals or plants can also be used as flagships, with enormous potential to raise awareness and mobilise public support.
