Building bones from scratch for medical needs is a hot topic in science. 3D printing is a big deal in this field. It's all about creating materials that match real bone tissue. This is tricky because bones have a complex structure. Scientists are exploring new ways to make this happen. Imag
Imagine waking up to a world where things you imagined as a child are a part of reality! Scientists are now looking at how this power of imagination might influence the future. If sci-fi stories and films can make us laugh and think, maybe they can help us figure out what kind of future we want.
Neoadjuvant therapy could be a game-changer in treating liver cancer. It is a type of cancer that starts in the bile ducts inside the liver. These bile ducts are like tiny tubes that help move waste from the liver to the gut. It is often caught late and is hard to treat. Doctors are now looking at
Picture this: a farmer facing a drought. Do they genres seeds that can deal with salty soil easily or implement powerful ones? This is the fight for fenugreek. Enriching fenugreek plants with certain natural products could help keep them moving and growing while drought conditions persist. ...
People often say that a change in temperature can mess things up. This is especially true for things involving microbes like anaerobic fermentation. It is any process that relies on fermentation bacteria (anaerobic microbes) to break down organic matter in the absence of oxygen. acting in the absen
The world was thrown into chaos in early 2020, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, which required a rapid switch to online learning. The changes were not easy, especially in countries where accessing the internet and other digital tools was not simple. The move to digital classrooms was a mas
Imagine a time when cameras were new and exciting. The 1800s saw a boom in photography, and writers couldn't resist the chance to have their portraits taken. The daguerreotype was the first big hit, but it was pricey and not very practical. Writers started to pose in front of the camera. Th
Ever wondered how a tiny creature like the Noah's Ark shell (Arca noae) builds such intricate structures? Scientists dove deep into this question, using powerful tools like X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopes, and atomic force microscopes to understand the shell's makeup. They found tha
Ever wondered how those custom-made teeth aligners are made and if they're safe? A recent study looked into the safety of 3D-printed aligners made from a material called Tera Harz TA-28. These aligners can have different thicknesses, which might affect how long they need to be cured under UV light t
Imagine enjoying a nice meal of fish from Iseo Lake in northern Italy. That's what one person did, but a month later, they found an unexpected guest in their stool: a worm segment. This wasn't just any worm; it was a part of a tapeworm from the Dibothriocephalus genus. How did this happen? The fish
