Researchers have investigated how 3D printing works in weightless environments, aiming to support long-term space exploration. They focused on titania foam, which has applications from UV blocking to water purification.

Analysis from Dr Habtamu Beshir and Prof Eleonora Fichera highlights reductions in pollution and improvements to health brought about by LEZ and ULEZ.

Lab-grown algal symbionts designed to be heat-tolerant could enhance heat resistance in corals, helping them resist and recover faster from bleaching.

To drive their growth, many tumors hijack nervous system signals, including those needed for brain plasticity. Stanford Medicine discoveries are opening a promising new branch of oncology research.

Type 1 diabetes can affect both children and adults, causing blood sugar imbalances and symptoms that can be debilitating or fatal if left untreated. A new study suggests that an existing drug could be repurposed to treat type 1 diabetes.

A small clinical trial has indicated that the ALS drug Riluzole could also be effective for treating spinal cord injuries if taken within 12 hours post-injury.

New research combining computer modeling and experiments with macaques shows the body’s immune system helps control human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections largely by suppressing viral production in already infected cells.

A hardware accelerator designed for AI has also been shown to speed up the alignment of protein and DNA for genome assembly, making the process 10 times faster than current methods.

In hospital settings, multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) are a major threat to patient safety. A new study has taken a different approach to eradicating MDROs. They’ve developed a method that fights microbes with other microbes.

Sperm can modulate their energetics by regulating their flagellar waveform—how the sperm oscillate their tails—in order to adapt to varying fluid environments, potentially optimizing their motility and navigation within the reproductive tract.
