A University of Queensland-led study has shown that expanding global seaweed farming could go a long way to addressing the planet’s food security, biodiversity loss and climate change challenges.

Researchers have revealed via a new study that brief sleep loss increases the release of dopamine in the brain. This results in enhancing synaptic plasticity which rewires the brain and helps a person to maintain a bubbly mood for the next few days.

Researchers are planning to use machine leaning to identify patients who are at higher risk for mortality. With this, they intend to use technology to provide greater insights which will help to revolutionize the healthcare industry.

AFYS3G has introduced Delta10, a code reader for single tubes. With optimized scanning positions for 1D barcodes and 2D Data-Matrix codes, the solution is quick, accurate and easy to use.

A survey conducted by a Mc Gill University-led research team has found that the local population in Greenland, in which about 90 % are indigenous, favor the extraction and export of sand from melting ice sheets. Previously, mining activities in the country were met with fierce opposition by the locals.

Scientists modelling the cancer-suppressing p53 gene identify how the 20 different molecules unique to elephants get activated for increased sensitivity and response against carcinogenic conditions — with implications for cancer treatments in humans.

Fraunhofer researchers, in collaboration with partners, have developed a groundbreaking composite material for treating non-union bone fractures. This new scaffold, made of a biodegradable polymer and bioactive glass, is designed to accelerate healing and prevent infection.

There is a growing demand for fermented coffee due to its unique fruity taste and aroma. The fermented beans used to produce this type of coffee are also an eco-friendly alternative to the regular coffee available in the market but which compounds contribute to its fruity flavor and aroma?

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that pregnancy hormones ‘rewire’ the brain to prepare mice for motherhood. Their findings show that both oestrogen and progesterone act on a small population of neurons in the brain to switch on parental behaviour even before offspring arrive. These adaptations resulted in stronger and more selective responses to pups.

With an aim to provide scientists access to a holistic IoT device and lab management solution, Eppendorf has collaborated with Clustermarket to integrate Eppendorf’s software and hardware components with Clustermarket’s operating system.
