ETH Zurich researchers have pioneered 3D-printed walls and ceilings made from marble quarry waste bound with a geopolymer material. These hygroscopic components absorb and release moisture, significantly improving indoor comfort.

A new study reveals how the brain integrates spatial memories into cohesive cognitive maps. Researchers found that weakly spatial neurons in the hippocampus refine their activity patterns over days.

Whole-genome sequencing of endangered cockatoo species brings new insights into their genetics, potentially offering fresh hope for their survival.

A blood test promises to improve endometriosis diagnosis. By identifying a panel of 10 protein biomarkers, the test achieves high accuracy for early and severe cases, potentially replacing invasive diagnostic procedures like laparoscopy.

Researchers have identified the Ephesos skull, long speculated to belong to Cleopatra’s sister Arsinoë IV, as a Roman boy aged 11–14. Modern techniques confirmed the skull and femur belonged to a male with developmental anomalies.

Texas A&M researchers developed a one-step, water-based, non-toxic flame retardant coating for cotton, reducing its flammability. The coating, using a volatile base, is scalable for industrial applications, such as clothing or upholstery.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have recently achieved a significant breakthrough in the development of next-generation carbon-based quantum materials.

Researchers have developed a way to tag RNA with a glowing "lantern" to track it in real time as it moves through the body.

A new discovery could offer a better way of making ferroelectric materials for data storage.

University of Surrey researchers uncovered atomic-scale mechanisms driving the growth of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and nanoporous hBN. These findings enable precise engineering of materials for advanced electronics.
