A solid-state metal oxide transistor-based technology can detect tiny quantities of biomolecules, such as DNA and COVID-19 spike protein, in less than two minutes.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important driver in global warming but there are many difficulties in reliable monitoring, as the atmospheric concentration of N2O is low. A research team has developed a dual gas sensor with high precision and low drift to measure atmospheric N2O and carbon monoxide.

A new surface that kills bacteria more than 100 times faster and more effectively than standard copper could help combat the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

An international team of researchers has explored how focusing either on the short- or long-term warming effects of methane can affect climate mitigation policies and dietary transitions in agriculture.

According to researchers using computer modeling and cell studies, more patients may be helped by a common class of targeted therapies than previously thought.

Meat eaters are significantly more likely to choose vegetarian meals when they make up at least 75% of food offered, a study found.

Scientists have developed paper-thin biodegradable zinc batteries that could one day become an environmentally sustainable option for powering flexible and wearable electronic systems.

AI models that evaluate medical images could speed up and improve the accuracy of cancer diagnoses, but they may be vulnerable to cyberattacks. In a study, researchers simulated an attack that falsified mammogram images, fooling both an AI breast cancer diagnosis model and human breast imaging experts.

A Phase 2 clinical trial has shown that using sotorasib as a monotherapy can shrink tumors for patients who have KRAS^G12C-mutated colorectal tumors

Researchers have set out to finally uncover exactly how the BCG vaccine works. A better understanding of the vaccination could help to design more effective tuberculosis vaccines.
