For The Better

A study of shallow-water fish communities on rocky reefs in south-eastern Australia has found climate change is helping tropical fish species invade temperate Australian waters.

A new study has revealed breeding less-flatulent cows and restoring agricultural land could significantly reduce rising methane emission levels, which play a considerable role in climate change.

Sure, ChatGPT can write a poem about your pet in the style of T.S Eliot, but generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have a potentially more useful role to play in idea generation according to a new study.

A research team has synthesized a lysin that during in vitro experiments targets bacteria responsible for producing odors in human armpits.

Using light pulses as a model for electrical defibrillation, scientists developed a method to assess and modulate the heart function. The research team has thus paved the way for an efficient and direct treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. This may be an…

Researchers have discovered a unique property, the quantum metric, within magnetic materials, altering the ‘electron universe’ geometry. This distinct electric signal challenges traditional electrical conduction and could revolutionize spintronic devices.

Using neutron scattering and voltage measurements, a group of researchers have discovered that a material’s magnetic properties can predict spin current changes with temperature. The finding is a major breakthrough in the field of spintronics.

Dengue infections in pregnant women may have a negative impact on the first years of children’s lives, new research has found.

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has gained widespread attention and application across various quantum fields and technologies because it contains single-photon emmiters (SPEs), along with a layered structure that is easy to manipulation. The precise mec…

Palaeontologists have solved a hundred-year-old mystery of how some fossil frogs preserve their fleshy parts — it’s all down to their skin. Palaeontologists studied 45-million-year-old fossil frogs from the Geiseltal site in central Germany. Remarkabl…

Social interactions synchronize brain activity within individuals and between individuals. In a new study, researchers compared brain synchronization between pairs of people with relatively strong social ties (acquaintance pairs) and pairs with almost …
