Cortisol plays a key role in regulating essential body functions such as blood pressure and metabolism, and …

A new man-made crystal that can “breathe” oxygen may be a game changer for energy efficiency and the clean energy transition. The material is made from an oxide of strontium, iron, and cobalt, and when heated in a simple gas environment, the thin film crystal has been observed to release and then reabsorb oxygen, much like a human lung. Moreover, …

Honey bees are essential pollinators, responsible for around 75% of flowering plants and 35% of food crops worldwide. Without them, global food systems and biodiversity would face serious threats. However, honey bee populations have been in decline due to poor nutrition, habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. In response, researchers from Washington State University (WSU) and APIX Biosciences in Belgium …

For a long time, the story of evolution has centered on chance – mutations arrive without a plan, and natural selection keeps the winners. That view isn’t wrong, but it’s incomplete. A recent study shows that parts of evolution look orderly. Not every genetic outcome is a coin toss. Some genes tend to show up together while others stay separate. …

A revolutionary gene therapy could offer new hope for the 32.5million Americans suffering from a crippling condition that makes it difficult to walk. Osteoarthritis is caused by the gradual breakdown of the cartilage that cushions the joints, leading to pain, stiffness and impaired movement. It is difficult to treat, with patients often needing regular pain relief and joint replacement surgery. …
