Biomedical engineers at Brown University in the United States have developed a smart bandage that can detect signs of infection and release antibiotics only when needed.

Geoscientists have found a large fan-shaped geological feature under the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, called the East Antarctic Fan-shaped Basin Province. It is linked to the Gondwana supercontinent and could affect the stability of the ice sheet and subglacial lakes. Supported by the Italian National Antarctic Research Program, the research utilised different techniques.

Scientists have discovered a vast fan-shaped structure beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, revealing clues about Antarctica's geological past and the stability of ice vulnerable to climate change.

Scientists cannot reliably predict whether an individual carrying certain gene variants will eventually end up obese. Put another way, there is no 'obesity gene'. And for similar reasons, there is no 'fat gene', 'lazy gene' or 'hunger gene'.

Honey bees have long been regarded as one of the most valuable assets to agriculture. Brought to Australia by European settlers in the early 19th century, the western honey bee has long served as an important pollinator of both native species and introduced plants.

Every year, the global paper industry generates around 50 million tonnes of lignin, the tough, carbon-rich polymer that gives trees their structural rigidity. Almost all of it gets burned for low-grade fuel.

A meteorite picked up from the sands of the Sahara has begun to complicate the quiet assumptions scientists often make about the early solar system. It is not the sort of object that draws attention at first glance, just a dark fragment of rock with odd mineral flecks caught under a microscope.

For decades, scientists believed that an average life expectancy of 90 years was a distant milestone that no country would reach anytime soon. Then a landmark study published in The Lancet challenged that assumption.

A climate shift is taking shape far from India, but it could eventually reach homes, farms, and businesses across the country. Here's why scientists are paying close attention.

Scientists discover a blood test predicting lung cancer years in advance, using a 14-protein signature.
