Increasingly, scientists are turning to the human brain as a model for solving computing challenges related to artificial intelligence and nanodevices. But doing so requires materials that can mimic our neural circuits at the very smallest scale.

McGill researchers find evidence that partially replacing red and processed meat with plant protein foods can increase lifespan and mitigate climate change.

Tiny magnetic particles in the air could be linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease symptoms, a new study suggests.

According to new research, regularly substituting meat for mycoprotein such as Quorn is comparable to switching to a Mediterranean or vegan diet and could help lower bad cholesterol by 10 percent.

In 2015, Cyclone Pam touched down on the island of Tanna as the strongest Pacific island cyclone in history at the time. A new study has documented the recovery of the island and has shown that forests previously subject to grazing by cattle and pigs were slower to recover.

Galvanized steel containers and surfaces are used for harvested produce because of their durability and strength. However, bacteria residing in storage containers can cause corrosion. Researchers have now developed a two-step coating solution that is more hygienic and reduces the risk of corrosion.

Study reveals “astonishing” footage of new predation tactics of the orca, raising further concerns about the marine ecosystem.

Researchers have found a simpler way to collect slightly magnetic particles that contain rare-earth metals from spent fluorescent bulbs.

ETH Zurich researchers have recovered the precious metal from electronic waste. Their highly sustainable new method is based on a protein fibril sponge, which the scientists derive from whey, a food industry byproduct.

The study showed that this simple and cheap addition to diet can improve performance in memory tests associated with early signs of Alzheimer’s disease.
