Ever wondered how microalgae could help protect our skin from the sun? Scientists have been looking into this, focusing on two types: Nannochloropsis oceanica and Chlorococcum amblystomatis. Their lipid extracts can potentially shield our skin from ultraviolet A (UVA) damage. These lipids work by k
Dengue fever is a growing concern worldwide, and there's no comprehensive vaccine or medication to stop it. This review looked at how scientists in Africa are using math and stats to predict dengue outbreaks and the mosquitoes that spread it. They searched through studies from databases like PubMed

Imagine trying to spot clouds from space using special satellite measurements. This is what scientists did with PARASOL, a satellite that takes pictures from different angles. They used a smart computer program, called a neural network, to find clouds in these pictures. This program was trained on f
