Engineering Science
Scientists uncovered the physical principles—a series of forces and hydrodynamic flows—that help ensure the proper functioning of life’s blueprint.
Ecological Science
Human presence and influence on landscapes change the way other animals interact by bringing them close together more frequently than happens in wilder places.
Evolutionary Science
Study can explain how one of the potentially crucial early steps on the path of life could have happened.
Neuroscience
Study offers the clearest picture yet of how various brain regions and neural networks contribute to a person’s problem-solving ability in a variety of contexts, a trait known as general intelligence.
Material Science
The researchers developed a new nanoelectronics platform based on graphene - a single sheet of carbon atoms.
Environmental Science
New method to find antibiotic-resistant genes shows limits of ‘snapshot’ samples, chlorination
Earth Science
Scientists discovered that under Mars-like conditions, manganese oxides can be readily formed without atmospheric oxygen.
Medical Science
A new tool could help save lives by predicting prostate cancer relapse 14 months earlier than current standard methods.
Microbial Science
A discovery that could help doctors identify patients at risk for severe illness and open the door to new treatments.
Physical Science
First-of-its-kind experimental evidence defies conventional theories about how plasmas emit or absorb radiation.
Astronomy
New research offers plausible explanations for mysterious hazy circles of radio emission deep in celestial space called Odd Radio Circles (ORCs)
Ecological Science
Remains of fossil lizards and snakes have been discovered recently from a late Miocene hominid locality of India (dated 9.1 million years) in Haritalyangar, Himachal Pradesh.
Engineering Science
A newly developed air filter can deactivate the germs ‘self-cleaning’ them out of the system using ingredients commonly found in green tea.
Biochemistry
Study findings could help further studies directed at reducing lipid levels in the blood, a topic of interest because excess lipids can cause obesity, diabetes and cardiac problems.
Biology
The findings could help conservationists forecast potential human-elephant conflict hotspots when favourite plants overlap with human settlements.
Evolutionary Science
Researchers explored the behaviours of wild chimpanzees - our closest living relative - living in the Issa Valley of western Tanzania, within the region of the East African Rift Valley.
Environmental Science
Researchers find tropical forests that have been logged still retain good ecological health, and should be protected from conversion to plantations.
Artificial Intelligence
Researchers have developed a program that can generate population density estimates with unparalleled precision, and only needs a rough estimate at the regional level to learn.
Chemical Engineering
Fortifying foods with new polymer particles containing vitamin A could promote better vision and health for millions of people.
Computer Technology
In the realm of virtual reality (VR), users can completely transform the appearances of themselves as avatars and of their digital environments, all at the mere click of a button.
