Researchers have developed an AI system capable of predicting whether and why proteins form sticky clumps, a process associated with over 50 human diseases that impact nearly half a billion people. A new AI tool has made significant progress in decoding the biochemical “language” that determines whether proteins form sticky clumps, structures associated with Alzheimer’s […]

Brazilian researchers found that boosting the synthesis of hevin, a glycoprotein naturally secreted by astrocytes, led to enhanced neuronal connectivity in rodents. In Brazil, researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), along with collaborators from the University of São Paulo (USP), have discovered a molecule called hevin that can reverse cognitive impairment.

A new composite material passively keeps solar panels cool, boosting power output by 12.9% and extending their lifespan by more than 200%. An international team of researchers led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia has developed a new acrylate-based composite material that improves the performance of solar cells. When […]

A new electrode enables scalable hydrogen production from seawater, offering a clean, desalination-free solution for arid coastal regions. Researchers at the University of Sharjah have developed a new technology that can produce clean hydrogen fuel directly from seawater, and at an industrial scale. In a study published in the journal Small, the team reported that […]

New research uncovers surprising effects of caffeine on the sleeping brain. Caffeine isn’t just in your morning coffee. It’s also in tea, chocolate, energy drinks, and many popular soft drinks, making it one of the most widely consumed psychoactive substances around the globe. Now, new research from the University of Montreal reveals how caffeine might […]
