Affordable, light-weight, compact, and easy-to-use, a groundbreaking invention in the field of assistive technology is sensitive in detecting bite forces, enabling users to control devices such as computers, smartphones and wheelchairs with precision.

Our sense of smell has a powerful effect on our behavior and emotions. Aromas can evoke vivid memories of the past or warn us of a smoldering fire. Yet to neuroscientists, smell remains the most mysterious of our five senses.

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.

Researchers have revealed that biosurfactants have great potential for use in future oil spills in the North Sea or similar nutrient-rich ocean habitats. Development of products based on biosurfactants could offer both effective and environmentally friendly approaches to combating oil spills.

A team based at Princeton University has accurately simulated the initial steps of ice formation by applying artificial intelligence (AI) to solving equations that govern the quantum behavior of individual atoms and molecules. The resulting simulation describes how water molecules transition into solid ice with quantum accuracy.

Researchers have developed a unique and innovative biological camera which can be used for DNA data storage. This groundbreaking technology makes use of ‘Baccam’ - a novel system that merges various biological and digital techniques to emulate a digital camera’s functions using biological components.

Climate change is leading the world to extreme heatwaves across the globe. A study led by the University of Bristol has identified the countries which are at risk the most of these extremely high temperatures.

Aquaculture, or the farming of aquatic plants and animals, contributes to biodiversity and habitat loss in freshwater and marine ecosystems globally, but when used wisely, it can also be part of the solution, new research shows.
