Researchers have developed a flying device that can land on tree branches to take samples, opening up a new dimension for scientists previously reserved for biodiversity researchers.

Researchers with the SFU Nanodevice Fabrication Group are developing a new biosensor that can be used to screen for Alzheimer’s disease and other diseases.

The water-filtering abilities of farmed kelp could help reduce marine pollution in coastal areas, according to a new study.

A lack of familiarity could be the reason for lower public consumption of pulses in Europe, according to new research.

According to research, new technologies measure airborne mercury pollution far more accurately than the older systems that under-measure mercury concentrations by as much as 80%.

A study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has identified high levels of “forever chemicals” in freshwater fish consumed in the United States (U.S.).

Researchers have uncovered the long-sought mechanism of a well-known but poorly understood process that produces solvated electrons via interactions between light and metal.

Researchers have found new evidence that vitamin D may be metabolized differently in people with an elevated body mass index (BMI). The study is a new analysis of data from the VITAL trial, a large nationwide clinical trial that investigated whether taking vitamin D or marine omega-3 supplements could reduce the risk of developing cancer, heart disease, or stroke.

Living in a greener environment has an impact on the composition of oligosaccharides in a mother's breastmilk, which in turn may affect the infant’s health.

Gene drives designed for mosquitoes have the potential to curb the spread of malarial infections that cause hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. A new system for testing and developing gene drives in the laboratory and safely converting them into tools for potential real-world applications has been developed.
