To better detect chemical weapons, materials scientists are exploring new
Chemical warfare is one of the most devastating forms of conflict. It leverages toxic chemicals to disable, harm or kill without any physical confrontation. Across various conflicts, it has caused tens of thousands of deaths Read More
A sensor that can measure hormone concentrations in plants precisely and in real time with minimal damage can shed light on how hormones affect plants’ response to disease and stress. With further development, it could Read More
New discovery reveals how two proteins collaborate to detect UV-induced
Ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight can cause DNA damage that leads to skin aging and cancer. Fortunately, our bodies have a highly efficient repair system capable of swiftly identifying and repairing damaged DNA sites among Read More
Dogs trained to sniff out Parkinson’s disease are showing remarkable accuracy—up to 98%—in identifying the condition from skin swabs, even before symptoms appear. In a double-blind study involving over 200 samples, these scent-detection dogs Read More
