Using animal-free methods to assess the hazard potential of chemicals to the nervous system of unborn children? An international research team including toxicologists from Konstanz and Düsseldorf has developed a testing battery based on human cells that has the potential to replace traditional methods for assessing developmental neurotoxicity.

Upgrading, or retrofitting, the world's iron and steel processing plants early could reduce carbon emissions by up to 70 gigatonnes by 2050, roughly equivalent to two years' net global carbon emissions, according to a new study led by UCL researchers.

A research study has revealed that unroasted, raw chocolate has a fruity flavor and sour taste that is lost when the cacao beans are processed at high temperatures. For this reason, some chocolatiers are now skipping the roasting step.

Researchers are now calling for fungi to be considered more heavily in conservation and biodiversity policies, and are investigating whether we can increase how much carbon the soil underneath us can hold.

ETH spin-off Gaia Tech transforms waste from olive oil production into high-quality antioxidants for use in cosmetics or food. This turns waste into valuable raw materials.

Low blood-oxygen levels were found to be the distinguishing factor that affected executive control-related neural activity and cognitive performance when exercise was performed in low-oxygen conditions.

A study of older U.S. adults led by researchers at Brown University found that the risk of negative effects of both mRNA vaccines is exceptionally low, but lowest with the Moderna vaccine.

Researchers at the University of Bath and the University of Bristol have received a 1.5-million-pound fund to scale-up the testing and development of their simple yet revolutionary test – Fastball EEG which helps to detect Dementia and Alzheimer’s early on.

Treatments that boost the “stickiness” of blood-forming stem cells could help improve the success of bone marrow transplants for patients suffering from leukemia and other blood disorders, a Kaust-led research team found.

Waste water is more than just mud. In some industrial processes it is full of valuable raw materials, such as traces of the rare metal gallium. In order to recover them, researchers from Freiberg have now tested a new biotechnical process — and filtered metal ions out of the wastewater using a peptide gel.
