With increased awareness about food sources and their environmental impacts, replacing animal-derived products in food and drugs is a significant research area. One common—but often overlooked—animal protein is gelatin, found everywhere from candy to plastic-free packaging. With increased awareness about food sources and their environmental impacts, replacing animal-derived products in food and drugs is a significant…

A new study has revealed there’s more to happiness and well-being than simply chasing goals. It also comes down to why you’re chasing them. A new study has revealed there’s more to happiness and well-being than simply chasing goals.

Research led by the University of Queensland has explained why some businesses not only survive crises like recessions, pandemics or natural disasters, but thrive, with periods of extreme growth. Research led by the University of Queensland has explained why some businesses not only survive crises like recessions, pandemics or natural disasters, but thrive, with periods of…

Screen-printed, biodegradable soil sensors that can be composted at the end of their lifecycle could enable farmers to improve crop yields while reducing electronic waste, researchers say. Screen-printed, biodegradable soil sensors that can be composted at the end of their lifecycle could enable farmers to improve crop yields while reducing electronic waste, researchers say. Biotechnology Agriculture Phys.org –…

AI systems already work their magic in many areas of biomedical science, helping to solve protein structure, discover hidden patterns in the genome and process massive amounts of biological data. Now, an AI-assisted technology developed at the Weizmann Institute of Science and published in Nature Biotechnology may grant researchers and physicians an unprecedented means of…

Unlike animals, plants do not possess an adaptive immune system with antibodies or T cells to fight viral infections. Instead, they rely on the RNA silencing system, which serves as their innate immune defense by recognizing and degrading viral RNA. In turn, viruses have evolved viral suppressors to inhibit the RNA silencing pathway, thus facilitating…

In the battle against climate change, the role of chemistry and the chemical industry is often overlooked. As India accelerates its industrial growth, it must embrace sustainable biomanufacturing and green chemistry not just to meet environmental commitments but to reinforce economic competitiveness. In the battle against climate change, the role of chemistry and the chemical industry…

A team of environmental scientists at the University of Sydney, working with a pair of colleagues from the University of Copenhagen, are pondering possible ways to save the extremely endangered orange-bellied parrot. In their paper published in the journal Molecular Ecology, the group outlines possible ideas for saving the birds, and the drawbacks of each. A…

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a bacteria-based technique to repair bricks that can be used to build lunar habitats if they get damaged in the moon’s harsh environment. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a bacteria-based technique to repair bricks that can be used to build lunar…
