Researches are exploring the idea of artificially dimming the sun to prevent the melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet in the background of the climate change issue. This solution is claimed to have high risks and incalculable consequences for future generations.

Researchers have developed a solar-powered technology that converts carbon dioxide and water into liquid fuels that can be added directly to a car’s engine as drop-in fuel.

Of the many contemporary conveniences often taken for granted in developed countries, modern sanitation may be among the most important. A new study suggests that wastewater infrastructure may provide societal benefits far beyond the dramatic improvements in community hygiene. The research highlights a technique known as Wastewater-based Epidemiology.

Plant cells can silence certain genes – even in far distance. This so called RNA interference is known for a while, but it was not yet proven what messenger substance “transmits” RNA interference. Now, ETH researchers have definitively shown that these messengers in plants are short double-stranded RNA fragments.

Development of neural networks or AI tools for data analysis is increasing exponentially. However, networks existing in natural ecosystems, such as webs of interspecies relationships, have information processing potential that has largely remained untapped.

Scientists at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital have tested a new cancer vaccine which kills as well as prevents brain cancer. The experts used a new cell therapy approach to eliminate established tumors and train the immune system to prevent cancer from recurring in the future.

Researchers have developed a new sponge that has the capacity to remove toxic heavy metals from contaminated water, thus leaving safe drinking water behind. The innovative sponge can also be reused multiple times.

Researchers have developed a simple yet effective technique to assess the recycled content in plastic products. The method could be used for numerous single-use plastic products without affecting its appearance or quality.

With an aim to expand its business in Asia, Biontech has acquired one of Novartis’ GMP-certified manufacturing facilities in Singapore. With this move, the company intends to establish its first mrna facility in the country.

Researchers have shown that milk alternatives made from rice and coconut water underwent changes during the heat treatment process and intends to use these findings for future research into dairy-free and functional beverages.
