Researchers at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Kaust) have partnered with scientists at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (Jamstec) to carry out research on the red sea. The team is making use of specialized technologies in order to better understand the deep-water environment.

Two studies funded by the National Institutes of Health have revealed that combining e-cigarettes with regular cigarettes proves to be more dangerous than using them individually. Both smoking and vaping lead to blood vessel damage in the body.

For some years, an active substance from the leaves of an ornamental plant has been regarded as a possible forerunner of a new group of potent drugs. So far, however, it has been very laborious to manufacture it in large quantities. That could now change: Researchers at the University of Bonn have identified a bacterium that produces the substance and can also be easily cultivated in the laboratory.

Scientists at NTU, Singapore, in collaboration with ETH Zurich, Switzerland (ETHZ), have created a membrane made from a waste by-product of vegetable oil manufacturing, which can filter out heavy metals from contaminated water.

Researchers at the University of Bristol in the UK have reported that insects are more vulnerable to extreme temperatures than what was thought earlier. Studies now reveal that insects struggle to adjust their thermal limits to high temperatures.

A new study from Tulane University has identified a new treatment for a chronic immune system disease that can prevent children from eating.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have conducted a study which reveals that social bees such as honeybees and bumblebees travel great distances for pollen and nectar due to their larger foraging ranges.

Together with the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative (TPMI) Thermo Fisher Scientific plans to advance the next phase of the large-scale predictive genomics study and support its goal of genotyping one million people in Taiwan.

Researchers have developed a new oil capturing technology that has the capability to cleanup hazardous oil spills in the ocean. The technology is claimed to be about 10 times better than the conventional technologies used today.
