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.

The new novel method developed by scientists from the National University of Singapore makes use of the magnetic field to grow meat in the lab which they claim is a greener, cleaner, safer and more cost-effective way to produce cell-based meat.

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 high-efficiency steam generator for the purification and desalination of water can be built using cheap and natural materials such as cellulose. The steam generator has been developed at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linköping University.

A new drug promises the world’s first treatment for Lipoprotein(a), a largely genetic form of cholesterol that increases the risk of heart attack/stroke. The new drug could be a gamechanger for the treatment of this elusive form of cholosterol.

A study has recently found out that teens felt better about their body image and appearance when their screen time was reduced to an hour as compared to the other teens who enjoyed a significantly higher screen time.

Silicon-based solar cells will soon be passé. Researchers at Linköping University have found new possibilities to develop efficient and stable solar cells from the material ‘perovskites’. Earlier, these solar cells faced problems with stability but now it has been resolved.

Indian scientists have come up with a new method to induce the piezoelectric delta-phase in polymer nanoparticles. This would make it useful for applications in touch sensors, acoustic sensor, piezoelectric nanogenerators and also holds potential for applications in the health care industry.

A team of researchers from the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) revealed that cells of the brain can detect the presence of malaria parasites in the blood, triggering the inflammation underlying cerebral malaria. This discovery brought to light new targets for adjuvant therapies that could restrain brain damage in initial phases of the disease and avoid neurological sequelae.
