A new study from the Koret School of Veterinary Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, led by Dr. Lionel Sebbag, has identified a more effective eyedrop formulation that improves the delivery and retention of antibiotics on the ocular surface. Pu

A recent study published in National Science Review challenges the traditional emphasis on trees in forest ecology, revealing that shrub diversity plays a critical role in enhancing forest ecosystem functioning.

Scientists from the Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) in Bremen, together with colleagues from Central America, have described a new fish species in the Gulf of Mexico. Hypoplectrus espinosai belongs to the hamlet group and was discovered

Sorghum is one of the world's oldest grains and possesses many traits that can benefit food security, climate resilience, and biodiversity. However, the mechanisms behind these traits have long remained a mystery to researchers, which has hindered effici

A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a fossil acanthocephalan, Juracanthocephalus, from the 160-million-year-old Daohugou Biota in Inner Mongolia, China. This finding was

Consumer electronic devices are made from materials that we have been using for more than 60 years, mainly silicon, germanium and copper. Why have semiconductor electronics become increasingly fast over this time?

A new genomic study has uncovered long-lost genetic diversity in mammoth lineages spanning over a million years, providing new insights into the evolutionary history of these animals.

In nature and technology, crystallization plays a pivotal role, from forming snowflakes and pharmaceuticals to creating advanced batteries and desalination membranes. Despite its importance, crystallization at the nanoscale is poorly understood, mainly be

Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now, researchers led by Xiaoqi Feng at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have demonstrated that this marker—N4-m

Getting therapeutic drugs past the blood-brain barrier has long been one of medicine's most difficult challenges, limiting our ability to treat conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and brain cancers. While manipulating gene express

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted.

Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics medieval chainmail at the molecular scale. This micrometer-scale 2D material exhibits exceptional flexibility and stiffness, potent
