The world of wearable technology is buzzing with a new invention. This isn't just about fancy watches or fitness trackers. It's about creating power from simple movements. A new device called a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is making waves. It turns mechanical energy into electrical energy. Thi
Climate change is making weather patterns go haywire. This isn't just about hotter summers or colder winters. It's about how these changes mess with our bodies. One big question is how unusual temperatures impact the fats in our blood. This isn't something that's been studied a lot. So, a big study
In a typical office setting, there's a lot going on. One might expect the usual office gossip, deadlines, and maybe some friendly banter. But in one particular office, things are a bit more unusual.

Nanoplastics are tiny bits that come from breaking down common plastics. These plastics are found in everyday items. The plastics are polyethylene terephthalate, high-density polyethylene, polystyrene, and polyvinyl chloride. Scientists put these plastics through simulated marine weathering for up t
There are big differences in how well kids do after surgery for a birth defect called anorectal malformation. This is true even when the surgery is done in different parts of the world. This is the focus of a recent study. The study looked at two places. One is in a wealthy country and the other
The world needs more food, but growing it sustainably is a big challenge. Plant diseases are a major threat to crops, causing huge losses every year. One nasty culprit is Botrytis cinerea, a fungus that attacks many important crops. Traditional methods of fighting these diseases often waste resource
Scientists have created a new type of fabric that can protect against chemical, biological, and radiation threats. This fabric uses a double-layered system to shield the wearer from harmful substances. The outer layer repels water and oil, while the inner layer provides protection against
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are a key player in the world of regenerative medicine. They are easy to access and can transform into various cell types. This makes them perfect for creating three-dimensional (3D) models, known as organoids. These organoids are a big deal because they mimic the comp
Kidney transplants face a big hurdle: not enough donor organs. This shortage makes every successful transplant a victory. But what happens when the donor has a rare kidney disease? This is where things get tricky. Membranous nephropathy (MN) is one such rare disease. It's not well understood how it
