Chemistry in the ground affect how many kids wild animals have Areas with more copper and selenium in the ground lead to higher reproductive success in wild musk oxen in Greenland.
Organic materials discovered on Mars may have originated from atmospheric formaldehyde, according to new research, marking a step forward in our understanding of the possibility of past life on the Red Planet.
Researchers have developed a microporous covalent organic framework with dense donor-acceptor lattices and engineered linkages for the efficient and clean production of hydrogen peroxide through the photosynthesis process with water and air.
More frequent use of cannabis was associated with higher odds of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, finds new study.
Molecules that are induced by light to rotate bulky groups around central bonds could be developed into photo-activated bioactive systems, molecular switches, and more.
Nano- and microplastics are seemingly everywhere -- water, soil and the air. While many creative strategies have been attempted to get rid of these plastic bits, one unexpectedly effective solution for cleaning up drinking water, specifically, might be as simple as brewing a cup of tea or coffee. Boiling and filtering calcium-containing tap water could help remove nearly 90% of the nano- and microplastics present.
Engineers have unveiled an encodable multifunctional material that can dynamically tune its shape and mechanical properties in real time.
High levels of air pollution can affect teams doing complex tasks, which holds implications for emerging economies.
According to new research, sitting for long hours without breaks increases risk of early death.
New findings suggest the end-replication problem, an old standby of biology textbooks, is twice as intricate as once thought.
Stimulating a key brain rhythm with light and sound increases peptide release from interneurons, driving clearance of Alzheimer's protein via the brain's glymphatic system, new study suggests.
A genetic change in our ancient ancestors may partly explain why humans don't have tails like monkeys.
National Science Day is celebrated in India on February 28 every year to mark the discovery of the Raman effect. Here is a quiz on Indian scientists and their discoveries.
If India were to decriminalise cannabis, policymakers should ensure it isn’t commercialised and there are protections against use by the populace most vulnerable to its detrimental effects
National Science Day is observed to commemorate the discovery of the 'Raman effect' by scientist C.V. Raman
The Ministry of Science and Technology has consistently under-utilised its budget, so while the calls for more funding are legitimate, better budget utilisation is required to affect outcomes
Youth mental health in urban environments is significantly better when more nature is incorporated into city design. A new study suggests that forest bathing, the simple method of being calm and quiet amongst the trees, observing nature around you while breathing deeply, can help youth de-stress and boost health and well-being.
Biomedical researchers have developed a new, less expensive way to detect nuclease digestion -- one of the critical steps in many nucleic acid sensing applications, such as those used to identify COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.
A new study of 300 people with anxiety shows that the nonintoxicating compound, CBD, found in cannabis can quell anxiety better than THC-dominant products -- and without the side-effects.
