El Niño season predicted to start as early as next month
An El Niño event is expected to develop from mid-2026, impacting global temperature and rainfall patterns, according to the World Meteorological Organization (W...
High-resolution imaging shines light on nanoscale nuclear organization
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have implemented an advanced microscopy technique to visualize multiple biomolecules inside the nucleus of...
Light near surface of ultra-thin optical fibers can sort twisted nanoparticles
Many important objects in the world can be divided into two categories based on their chirality or handedness, including molecules important for life such as am...
Re-engineered human cells boost gene-editing particle potency across multiple delivery systems
Gene editing has emerged as a powerful approach for targeting the genetic causes of disease, but getting the editing machinery into the right cells efficiently,...
Bipartisan-cited science is rarely used by policymakers, study finds
Past research has shown that even though science is commonly viewed as essential for effective policymaking, Democrats and Republicans cite different scientific...
Light-activated electrolyte oxidizes water to promote tumor cell death
A research team led by Professor Jin Yong Lee from the Department of Chemistry of Sungkyunkwan University, with co-first author HyoungChul Ham, and in collabora...
Machine learning identifies catalyst 'sweet spot' for greener urea from waste gases
Urea is an extremely important chemical, especially for fertilizers. But, making urea is energy intensive and relies heavily on fossil fuels. However, new findi...
Simplifying clean hydrogen production with a new all-in-one photocatalytic cocatalyst
Researchers have demonstrated the first "all-in-one" cocatalyst for photocatalytic overall water splitting, a breakthrough that could simplify the production of...
Natural-language AI helps chemists design molecules step by step
Designing molecules is one of chemistry's most complex challenges. From life-saving drugs to advanced materials, each compound requires a precise sequence of re...
Human-altered estuaries now drive stronger tides farther inland
A study led by Wageningen University & Research shows that human interventions have significantly changed tides in river estuaries over the past centuries. In m...
Chromosomes condense in three timed chemical waves during cell division, study shows
DNA does not float freely in the cell. Instead, it is wrapped around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes. These histones carry numerous chemi...
Scientists call for integrating three energy demand goals into climate policy by 2035
A new article published in Science argues that governments should adopt three integrated energy demand goals by 2035, warning that climate policy will fall shor...
