Chemical pollution is “a threat to the thriving of humans and nature of a similar order as climate change” but decades behind global heating in terms of public awareness and action, a report has warned. The industrial economy has created more than 100 million “novel entities”, or chemicals not found in nature, with somewhere between 40,000 and 350,000 in commercial …

The battle against mosquitoes has intensified in recent years, particularly against the tiger mosquito species that poses significant health risks. A groundbreaking natural repellent has shown remarkable effectiveness in an extreme test involving thousands of these persistent pests. This innovative solution offers new hope for those seeking chemical-free protection during mosquito season. Revolutionary natural mosquito repellent undergoes extreme testing In …

Blockbuster weight loss jabs relied on by millions of slimmers could waste away muscles, research has suggested.  Once aimed at diabetes patients, drugs like Ozempic are now famous for bringing about rapid weight loss by reducing appetite.  But the injections often come with side effects, from nausea and constipation and, in most severe cases, life-threatening organ damage. Now, US experts have found …

A team of Chinese researchers led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable Chromosome Engineering (PCE) systems. The study, published online in Cell on August 4, achieves multiple types of precise DNA manipulations ranging from kilobase to megabase …

By recreating extreme conditions found inside deep space interstellar clouds, scientists have produced methanetetrol, or C(OH)4 – a ‘super alcohol’ that was long theorized about but never actually seen before. This is not the kind of alcohol you can ask for in a cocktail: it’s a highly unstable molecule made up of four hydroxyl groups (OH) at a single carbon …

Scientists have used ultrafast high-intensity lasers to superheat gold to 14 times its melting point without turning the solid metal into a liquid. The record-breaking experiment, which was described in a study published July 23 in the journal Nature, smashed a decades-old theory about the stability of solids and is the first reliable method to precisely measure the temperature of …
