A comprehensive new review suggests that bamboo shoots could offer a wide range of health benefits, from improved blood sugar control and gut health to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Men assess potential rivals that have a larger penis as more of a threat, both physically and sexually, according to a study by Upama Aich at the University of Western Australia and colleagues, publishing January 22nd in the open-access journal Plos Biology.

How life first learned to access nitrogen is coming into sharper focus, as researchers at Utah State University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison reconstruct ancient nitrogen-fixing enzymes, opening a new window into early life on Earth and the search for life beyond our planet.

A new review has suggested that one can reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease by replacing animal products with plant-based foods. It also found that ultra-processed plant-based foods lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease mortality; whole grains lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes and all-cause mortality; and plant-based meat alternatives lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed superhydrophobic aluminum tubes that stay afloat even when heavily damaged. By trapping a stable air bubble inside, the design could support future ships, floating platforms, and wave-energy applications.

A low-cost industrial material could soon replace platinum in key chemical reactions, as researchers at the University of Rochester demonstrate how precisely engineered tungsten carbide catalysts can boost efficiency in CO₂ conversion and plastic upcycling while supporting more sustainable manufacturing.

A study by the Complexity Science Hub published in Science shows that generative AI is already involved in nearly one-third of newly written software code in the United States, with rapid but uneven global adoption and productivity gains concentrated among experienced developers.

A new study challenges decades-old assumptions about the physics of foams, revealing that bubbles continue to reorganize internally even as the material appears solid. Strikingly, the underlying mathematics mirrors how modern artificial intelligence systems learn.

Vyon porous plastics from Porvair Sciences are the perfect material for filtration applications in the healthcare and medical device market.

The Solvent Line Monitor from Testa Analytical is a true plug-and-play addition to any HPLC system designed to detect when one or more of its pump solvent reservoirs are empty and automatically shut-off the system.

Analytik Jena is expanding its portfolio in chemical elemental analysis with the new Plasmaquant 9200 ICP-OES series. The devices combine market-leading spectral resolution with high matrix tolerance and enable precise analyses even for complex samples.

Biotech Fluidics has announced the Smartsaver solvent recycling unit which is designed to recover up to 90 % of your mobile phase by redirection of the pure solvent to the solvent reservoir during isocratic HPLC.

A large Danish study suggests the source of dietary nitrate may matter for brain health. Researchers found higher nitrate intake from vegetables was linked to a lower risk of dementia, while nitrate from drinking water and animal-based foods was associated with a higher risk.

A new IS Global study suggests prenatal exposure to air pollution may be linked to lower recognition memory in infants. Using eye-tracking tests, researchers found stronger effects for black carbon and PM2.5, with boys appearing more vulnerable.

Researchers have stated in a study that people who have been exposed to wildfire smoke have a higher risk of suffering a stroke. The study further estimates that smoke from wildfires may be responsible for around 17,000 strokes each year in the US alone.

In a new study, scientists have found that residential wood burning is a major contributor to winter air pollution across the United States. It further states that although only 2 % of U.S. homes rely on wood as their primary heating source, residential wood burning accounts for more than one-fifth of Americans’ wintertime exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

A new review has suggested that one can reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease by replacing animal products with plant-based foods. It also found that ultra-processed plant-based foods lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease mortality; whole grains lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes and all-cause mortality; and plant-based meat alternatives lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes.

A new study has revealed that if one follows an unprocessed food diet, they will eat more but still consume fewer calories as compared to an ultra-processed food diet.

A comprehensive new review suggests that bamboo shoots could offer a wide range of health benefits, from improved blood sugar control and gut health to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Researchers have developed dissolving microneedle patches that deliver living ‘biofertilizer’ directly into plant tissue. Choy Sum and Kale grew faster while using over 15 % less biofertilizer than standard soil inoculation.

A new German study suggests deer do not need to see predators to change their behavior — the smell alone may be enough. Researchers found that wolf and lynx scents made deer more cautious and reduced browsing damage on young trees.

Scientists have uncovered a rare fossil “time capsule” in a cave near Waitomo, revealing a million-year-old snapshot of New Zealand’s lost wildlife.

A new study suggests that heart disease prevention and screening should start earlier in adulthood, particularly for men as they have a higher risk of heart attacks in their mid-30s as compared to women.

Researchers have stated in a study that people who have been exposed to wildfire smoke have a higher risk of suffering a stroke. The study further estimates that smoke from wildfires may be responsible for around 17,000 strokes each year in the US alone.
