Researchers have developed a healable, recyclable material for circuit board plastics that is just as strong and durable as traditional materials. The new material could help to reduce the volume of e-waste being produced.

Researchers developed collagen peptide markers to identify three extinct Australian megafauna genera, a hippo-sized wombat, a giant kangaroo and a clawed marsupial. This method overcomes DNA limitations in tropical environments.

Researchers have successfully developed multiple recipes for recreating Ancient Egyptian blue pigments. The pigments have interesting optical, magnetic and biological properties for modern scientific applications.

Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have developed a new fluorescent probe to visualize signaling dynamics in moving cancer cells, which they used to uncover a new therapeutic possibility for limiting breast cancer spread.

Most water filters use activated carbon to remove "forever chemicals" – such as PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) – from water. New research suggests that iron powder may be up to 26 times more effective for this purpose.

Researchers have developed a portable water testing system – the E-Tongue – which can detect lead contamination in tap water. The system is designed for easy home use and was tested by over 300 Massachusetts residents.

Researchers have shed light on the mechanisms governing the dynamics of microtubules – the vital protein structures forming the cell's internal skeleton.

Identifying how bacteria bind to host cells could enable researchers to stop infections before they start.

Halofuginone can regulate appetite and energy metabolism by increasing the levels of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), effectively reducing body weight and improving metabolic health.

New research has revealed how the "fight-or-flight" response resets between stressful events so the body is prepared to take on new challenges.
