A dangerous parasite, the New World screwworm, has been a concern for cats and other animals. This fly's larvae can burrow into open wounds, causing serious harm. Recently, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took a big step. They allowed a drug called Credelio CAT to be used in an emergenc
Solar panels are getting a cool new upgrade. Scientists have come up with a smart material called EP. It acts like a bodyguard for solar panels, shielding them from damage and fixing themselves when needed. This is a game-changer because it means solar panels can last longer and work better, even in
MicroRNAs, or miRNAs, are tiny but mighty players in our bodies. They can tell us a lot about diseases, but catching them is tricky. They're short, there aren't many of them, and they look similar to each other. That's where electrochemical biosensing comes in. It's like a high-tech treasure hunt fo
Business networks are like big puzzles. They are made up of many parts, and these parts are not all the same. Some parts are closer together. Others are further apart. This is what makes the network complex. Think of a network as a city. In a city, there are neighborhoods. Some neighborhoods are ri
Polymers, those versatile materials we often associate with plastics, are stepping into the spotlight of electronics. Researchers have discovered a way to manipulate how spins travel through these materials, paving the way for advanced electronics that function at room temperature. This is a game-ch
Aluminum has always been a popular choice for making things light and strong. But what if it could be even stronger? That's where single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) come in. These tiny tubes are incredibly strong and have a large surface area, making them perfect for reinforcing materials. The
String theory is like a big puzzle. It tries to explain how tiny particles work. Recently, scientists found a new way to solve part of this puzzle. They looked at something called the 4-tachyon amplitude. This is a part of string theory that wasn't fully understood before. They used a special tool c
Burns are tough. They can bleed a lot, get infected, and leave lasting scars. So, finding a smart dressing that changes with the wound is a big deal. Recently, scientists made a special gel dressing. It uses curcumin, a spice found in turmeric, and Panax notoginseng saponin, a natural herb. This gel
In the world of surgery, making students feel important is a big deal. It's not just about knowing their names. It's about showing them they matter. A recent study looked at a simple method called "Name, Ask, Thank" (NAT). The goal? To see if this method keeps students feeling valued over time. The
Blueberries are often called the "Queen of Fruits" and the "King of Berries" because they are packed with nutrients and good for health. But there's more to these little berries than meets the eye. Scientists are always finding new things about how blueberries grow and what makes them so special. O
