  • Hydrogen fuel at half the cost? Scientists reveal a game-changing catalyst June 21, 2025
    Researchers in South Korea have developed a powerful and affordable new material for producing hydrogen, a clean energy source key to fighting climate change. By fine-tuning boron-doping and phosphorus levels in cobalt phosphide nanosheets, the team dramatically boosted the efficiency of both sides of water-splitting reactions. This advancement could unlock scalable, low-cost hydrogen production, transforming […]
  • Cold sore virus hijacks human genome in 3D--and scientists found its weak spot June 20, 2025
    Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion. Researchers discovered that it actively reshapes the 3D structure of the human genome within hours of infection, using host enzymes like topoisomerase I to gain access to crucial genetic machinery. Stunningly, blocking this single enzyme shuts […]
  • Fitness trackers are failing millions — this fix could change everything June 20, 2025
    Fitness trackers often fail people with obesity by underestimating their energy burn, leading to discouraging results and misguided health data. A scientist's frustrating experience in an exercise class with his mother-in-law where her effort wasn t reflected on the fitness leaderboard sparked a breakthrough. His team at Northwestern developed a new open-source smartwatch algorithm that […]
  • One shot to stop HIV: MIT's bold vaccine breakthrough June 19, 2025
    Researchers from MIT and Scripps have unveiled a promising new HIV vaccine approach that generates a powerful immune response with just one dose. By combining two immune-boosting adjuvants alum and SMNP the vaccine lingers in lymph nodes for nearly a month, encouraging the body to produce a vast array of antibodies. This one-shot strategy could […]
  • How life endured the Snowball Earth: Evidence from Antarctic meltwater ponds June 19, 2025
    During Earth's ancient Snowball periods, when the entire planet was wrapped in ice, life may have endured in tiny meltwater ponds on the surface of equatorial glaciers. MIT researchers discovered that these watery refuges could have supported complex eukaryotic life, serving as sanctuaries for survival amid extreme conditions. Their investigation into Antarctic melt ponds revealed […]
