People, pets and livestock have long been protected through vaccines, but scientists are now extending that approach to creatures once thought impossible to immunise. Researchers have already developed the world's first vaccine for honeybees and are testing similar technology in shrimp, despite the fact that these animals lack the antibody-based immune systems that conventional vaccines rely on.

It began in 1977, when scientist Ichiro Endo witnessed a peculiar phenomenon in his lab. The heated syringe ejected ink around the lab.

Plastic waste has long been viewed as one of the world's most persistent environmental challenges. Yet researchers have now demonstrated a remarkable way to transform that problem into something potentially life-changing.

Can you envision yourself on a peaceful walk around the quiet and awe-inspiring back rooms of an internationally renowned scientific facility, where all the walls are lined with industrial-sized steel drawers? Over many decades, countless numbers of prehistoric bones and geological samples have been lying quietly in dark drawers, waiting for new eyes to discover their hidden stories.

Trees have long been used for cooling in urban areas through natural means, but recent studies indicate that this approach is not as straightforward as simply reducing temperatures uniformly across all locations.

However, recent discoveries indicate that this predator was even more fascinating than one would expect because the Tyrannosaurus rex took more time to develop to its full potential than initially expected.

For years, cleaning polluted rivers has largely relied on expensive infrastructure, complex treatment systems and lengthy engineering projects. Now, scientists and water companies are turning to an unlikely ally growing quietly in forests and woodlands: mushrooms.In England, researchers have been testing a technique known as mycofiltration, which uses fungal networks to capture and break down pollutants in water.

Scientists reveal comet 3I/ATLAS is up to 12 billion years old, offering insights into ancient planetary systems and cosmic conditions.

Muddy riverbanks and quiet waterways hold far more secrets than we realise. When we think about ancient treasures, our minds usually fly straight to dusty chests buried in deep caves or gold tucked away inside stone tombs.
