Aging is not just about wrinkles and gray hair. It's a complex process that affects every part of our bodies at the molecular level. Scientists have been studying aging for years, but traditional methods only scratch the surface. That's where multiomics comes in. This approach combines data from var
The world is on the hunt for clean energy. Solar power is a big part of this. But there is a new kid on the block: dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). These are different from the usual silicon solar panels. They use dyes to capture sunlight. And guess what? These dyes can come from nature. Nature
Inside every cell, DNA is packed tightly, like a long, tangled thread. This packing is not random. It's crucial for how our genes work and how cells divide. Scientists have long debated how DNA folds up. Some think it's like a ball of yarn, while others believe it forms loops. Recent research has g
New, compact magnetic sensors are changing the game. They let scientists study tiny magnetic fields in a way that wasn't possible before. These fields come from electrical currents in the body, like those in the spinal cord and chest. Researchers ran simulations to see how these currents create magn
Ants might be small, but they can cause big problems. They damage crops and disrupt the environment. To manage these tiny troublemakers, scientists have turned to poisoned baits. The key here is that these baits must be irresistible to the specific ant species they are targeting. In the past, deter
Kids' spit might be more useful than you think. Scientists are looking into how saliva can help us understand health. Inside spit, there are tiny molecules called volatile organic compounds, or VOCs. These come from different places, like breath, food, and even the air around us. The cool part? Thes
Scientists have been digging into how clobenprobit (CB) and another compound, IT1t, work their magic to reduce inflammation. They've found that these compounds interact with a specific receptor in our bodies called CXCR4. This receptor is like a doorway that lets certain signals in, and CB and IT1t
Scientists have found a key protein in the sticky stuff that holds together sludge granules in seawater. This protein might be the reason these granules stay strong and can remove phosphate from water. The granules were grown in a special reactor using seawater and acetate, a common carbon source. T
Schisandra chinensis fruits are famous for their health benefits. They protect the liver, reduce stress, and fight off harmful molecules. But, picking too many wild fruits led to farming them. However, farmed ones aren't as good as the wild ones. Scientists think this might be because wild plants fa
Luminescence, or the ability to glow, isn't just for fireflies and light bulbs. It's also happening in some special chemicals called halogenated silanes. Scientists took a close look at five of these chemicals: HT, CT, IT, CS, and FS. They wanted to see how different halogens (like chlorine and iodi
