The world of microscopy is an essential tool for scientists and researchers to delve into the microscopic realm and explore the inner workings of cells, viruses, proteins, and molecules. While modern microscopes have provided us with incredible insights, they are not without their limitations. Traditional microscopy techniques, such as super-resolution fluorescent and electron microscopy, have

In recent developments in the field of additive manufacturing, researchers at the University of Nottingham have made significant strides in enhancing the functionality of plastic particles used in 3D printing. By utilizing supercritical carbon dioxide, a new coating process has been developed to improve the properties of PA-12 polymer particles commonly used in 3D printing.
The use of robots with wheels to navigate different environments has become increasingly popular due to their ability to travel longer distances with fewer risks. However, the inability of many wheeled robots to overcome steps limits their real-world application. This limitation increases the risk of robots getting stuck on a step and failing to complete
The study on transgenic mice conducted by researchers from the VIB-Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders in Belgium has shed light on the fascinating world of spinal cord memory. While previously it was believed that motor learning and memory were solely confined to brain circuits, this research has challenged that notion. The findings have opened up new possibilities
Pluto, the dwarf planet at the edge of our solar system, is renowned for its distinct feature known as the “heart,” scientifically termed as Tombaugh Regio. This heart-shaped region on Pluto has puzzled researchers for years, with its relatively bright appearance standing out against the icy landscape. The formation of this heart is shrouded in
The recent surge in wildfires across the globe has been widely attributed to the effects of climate change, particularly the hotter and drier conditions that are becoming increasingly common. However, a study conducted by researchers at UC Riverside suggests that there may be another significant factor at play: the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in
The recent research findings have shed light on the significance of sustainable chemical transformations in the field of pharmaceutical research. These transformations are crucial for reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact of chemical processes. Electrochemistry has emerged as a key player in this arena, offering a more sustainable approach to synthetic chemistry. The Max
The quest to develop efficient methods for managing plasma in order to harness its energy for electricity generation through fusion has been ongoing. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have made significant strides in this area by combining two established methods, electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) and resonant magnetic
Meta’s oversight board recently announced that it is closely examining the policies of the social media giant regarding deepfake porn. This scrutiny comes in the wake of two specific cases that have been brought to its attention. Referred to as a Meta “supreme court” for content moderation disputes, the board is assessing the effectiveness of
The association between the human menstrual cycle and the phases of the Moon has been a topic of interest in many cultures. Despite the similarities in the average cycle time and the month, there has been little evidence to support a direct link between the two. A recent study conducted by a research team from
The recent study revealed that manufacturing nations in the Global North are contributing to energy and emission problems by outsourcing energy-intensive industrial processes to countries in the Global South. This practice, driven by advantages in capital and technology, results in a ‘false decoupling’ of energy consumption from economic growth. While the Global North benefits from
Ammonia, a crucial compound used in fertilizers, has long been produced through the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process. However, researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan, led by Satoshi Kamiguchi, have recently discovered a more sustainable way to synthesize ammonia. This groundbreaking study, published in Chemical Science, unveils a new catalyst that
