A tiny Central American country is charting a path to slowing climate change, while boosting the economy and making communities safer. A new Stanford-led study quantifies the value of Belize’s coastal mangrove forests in terms of how much carbon they can hold, the value they can add to tourism and fisheries, and the protection they can provide against coastal storms and other risks.

What exactly makes for a fit Fido? And how does a dog’s environment factor into their dog years? A survey of 21,000 dogs reveals that more social support is tied to healthier outcomes.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have identified a potential Achilles heel that exists in all types of coronaviruses. They hope that the findings could lead to the treatment of the viral disease.

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.

Researchers at the University of Bristol, the quantum start-up firm Phasecraft and Google Quantum AI have disclosed that it may now be possible to develop more efficient batteries and solar cells with the help of certain properties of electronic systems.

With the partnership, both the companies aim to optimize the production of bacterial cellulose and produce bio-based materials which act as the perfect green substitute for synthetic polymers used in the market today such as acrylates, polyethylene, and polystyrene.

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.

University of South Australia researchers are calling for exercise to be a mainstay approach for managing depression as a new study shows that physical activity is 1.5 times more effective than counselling or the leading medications.

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.

Researchers have tested a new way to improve artificial neural networks defense in AI systems. The method is expected to protect sensitive AI-based applications from attackers.
