The wastewater draining from massive pools of sewage sludge has the potential to play a role in more sustainable agriculture, according to environmental engineering researchers at Drexel University. A new study, took a closer look at a process of removing ammonia from wastewater and converting it into fertilizer.

Researchers found that half of the participants do not match the healthiness of their meals to their snacks and vice versa. This difference has a negative effect on health measures, such as blood sugar and fat levels, and addressing this could be a simple diet strategy to improve health.

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.

A new study has changed the traditional view that natural rock weathering acts as a CO2 sink and has now revealed that it can act as a large CO2 source similar to volcanoes.

A new guide to programming quantum algorithms walks programmers through every step, from theory to implementing the algorithms on IBM’s publicly available 5-qubit ibmqx4 quantum computer and others.

Researchers at the University of Turku in Finland have revealed in a study that even low levels of glyphosate-based herbicide residues present in the soil can have an adverse impact on plant beneficial microbes.

A new research has revealed that women are more likely to die after a heart attack than men. It further adds that women of all ages who experience a myocardial infarction are at particularly high risk of poor prognosis.

EPFL biophysicists have found a way to automate microscope control for imaging biological events in detail while limiting stress on the sample, all with the help of artificial neural networks. Their technique works for bacterial cell division, and for mitochondrial division.

Researchers found that men who consumed high rates of ultra-processed foods were at higher risk for developing colorectal cancer than those who did not. They did not find the same association in women.

Researchers at the Riken Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research in Japan have created a robotic artificial intelligence (AI) system for autonomously determining the optimal conditions for growing replacement retina layers necessary for vision. The system was used to conduct a trial-and-error process which helped in improving cell culture recipes used in regenerative medicine.
