A 5,000-year-old bacteria resistant to antibiotics has emerged from ice in Romania. It's not the plot of a dystopian series, but a real scientific discovery that weaves together climate crisis, global health and biotechnologies. It's also a discovery that forces us to ask an uncomfortable question: what's making a return from the melting ice?
An apple a day doesn't just keep the doctor away. In France, it might even help doctors reconstruct cartilage. Indeed, that's the concrete result of a study, published in the Journal of Biological Engineering, which shows that it's possible to obtain human cartilage from decellularized apples.
Microplastics, fragments invisible to the naked eye, escape traditional filtration systems and end up everywhere: in rivers, seas and drinking water.
Kyrgyzstan, once part of the Soviet bloc and today known for its spectacular landscapes, is taking an important step toward energy independence and environmental sustainability. Kyrgyz Republic President Sadyr Japarov has promoted the development of new energy infrastructure in the Kemin district, reaching a historic milestone. This project is part of a series of official initiatives to modernize the country and meet today's energy challenges using renewable resources.
A group of Chinese researchers has developed a battery that can not only store energy but also produce it. One of the biggest challenges to the energy transition and the breakthrough of renewable resources is the volatile nature of solar energy and the need for increasingly efficient storage systems. A new study published in the journal Electrochimica Acta and entitled 'An aqueous...' promises to change that thanks to an integrated device that can perform both functions.
Scientists from the European Space Agency (ESA) have just discovered a planetary system that overturns all current theories on planet formation.
A thin cloud that settles on a wound and forms a solid barrier within a second, capable of stopping a potentially fatal bleed. That's the picture coming out of South Korea, where a group of researchers has developed a hemostatic spray for use in the most extreme situations, from the battlefield to disaster-stricken areas.
There are statements that end up in textbooks and stay there seemingly forever. One of them essentially stated that a certain kind of interaction between gluons - the particles that hold the atomic nucleus together - simply cannot happen. But that turns out not to be true.
Is a simple squeeze of lemon juice really enough to change how our bodies respond to a carb-rich meal?
On the evening of February 19, plan nothing else: in our sky, the spectacle of a 'kiss' between Moon and Saturn returns.
