The future of our planet is at stake. Plastic waste is piling up and nature-inspired alternatives are urgently needed. In a quest to tackle this issue, scientists are actively looking for sustainable solutions – even in the deepest corners of […]
Skin, the largest organ in the human body, is receptive to therapeutic and preventative drug delivery. This is especially useful for drugs that are poorly absorbed, or have severe side-effects or toxicity when delivered via oral and other routes. Drug […]
Today, “Smart Home” technologies – connected devices and sensors in the home – lure consumers with the promise to improve everyday life through automation, remote access to the home and more detailed information about the family’s life. But where there […]
Diospyros lotus, commonly known as date-plum due to its taste being similar to both dates and plums, is a sub-tropical plant native to certain regions of southwest Asia and southeast Europe. Researchers from Pakistan explain how they used extracts from […]
Biobanks collect, process and store human bodily substances, such as blood or tissue, under well-defined and controlled conditions. By using these biosamples and related patient data for their research, scientists can gain deeper insights into a particular disease and develop […]
Currently, the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is prone to subjective bias introduced by the specialist testing for the disorder. For this reason, researchers have developed a new, objective test system that is based on electro-physiological signals generated […]
Disability, specifically losing the use of one’s limbs, has a profound impact on quality of life. Improving tools designed to enable paralysed individuals to regain independence is a major focus of modern-day medicine, and recent advances in computational science have […]
Researchers based in Iran and the US have developed a new method to estimate “effective brain connectivity”, which can be used to help understand the interactions between different brain areas. By feeding a computational model with real electroencephalogram (EEG) data, […]
Traditional production methods for silicon-based materials are highly energy-intensive and unsustainable, which is why researchers are now looking for “greener” ways to synthesize this versatile material – for example, by recycling agricultural waste products. By Joseph C. Furgal Silicones play […]
