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.

Exposure to high doses of micro-sized polyethylene has adverse effects on cells, a new study from the University of Eastern Finland finds.

Researchers have developed a novel catalytic template-assisted interfacial polymerization strategy to prepare a highly permeable acid-resistant nanofiltration membrane for acidic wastewater treatment.

A new study of domestic and hospital drinking water systems found Legionella in 41% of samples – with researchers making a key connection between the pathogen’s co-existence with a "host" microorganism in all samples tested.

A new study finds that when sulfur air pollution fell, farmers replaced this lost airborne nutrient with fertilizer, likely increasing mercury contamination.

A new study suggests that throughout Earth’s history, natural processes propelled measurable geochemical signals from deep inside Earth’s metallic core, all the way to the surface, emerging at what are known as magma “hotspots.”

A lead-free perovskite photocatalyst has been developed that can efficiently convert solar energy to hydrogen. Researchers have also unveiled the interfacial dynamics of the catalyst, opening doors to improving its efficiency.

Chemists have found a way to make carbon-based molecules with a unique structural feature: interlocking rings. This confers interesting properties that can be “tuned” by changing their size and chemical makeup.

Chemicals that accumulate in the vagina, potentially originating from personal care products, may contribute to spontaneous preterm birth, according to a new study.
