(Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech)) Skoltech and ChemCode, a Latvian startup focused on tracing technology for raw materials and products, have signed a license contract for an ammonium saltpeter labeling method invented at the university.Skoltech plans to continue working on the labeling technology, expanding it to other products, including industrial and military explosives, alloys of metals, and crucial parts in cars, trains, and planes.

(University of Konstanz) The Konstanz-based research group of Professor Marcel Leist and the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing-Europe (CAAT-Europe) started two new Horizon 2020 projects -- RISK-HUNT3R and TOX-Free -- to replace animal testing for chemical risk and safety assessment.

(Baylor College of Medicine) "Genomics of Rare Diseases" offers readers a broad understanding of current knowledge on rare diseases from a genomics perspective.

(Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology(UNIST)) South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has announced that its faculty member has been honored with the Minister of Environment's commendation.

(Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology(UNIST)) South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has announced that it UNIST has announced that it has received a KRW 39 million scholarship fund from GIG and TotalEnergies.

(Bentham Science Publishers) The scientific literature confirms that a large part of the molecular mechanism of probiotics is related to their derived postbiotics. These biomolecules, due to their unique pharmacokinetic properties, could be used, in their pure form and with high performance in veterinary, medical, and food practice to improve animal growth rate and health status, prevent and/or treat some acute/chronic diseases, and develop functional foods.

A near-perfectly preserved ancient human fossil known as the Harbin cranium sits in the Geoscience Museum in Hebei GEO University. The largest of Homo skulls, scientists now say this skull represents a newly discovered human species named Homo longi or "Dragon Man." Their findings, appearing in three papers publishing June 25 in the journal The Innovation, suggest that the Homo longi lineage may be our closest relatives--and may reshape our understanding of human evolution.

A team of engineers and clinicians has developed an ultra-thin, inflatable device that can be used to treat the most severe forms of pain without the need for invasive surgery.

A new electrode that could free up 20% more light from organic light-emitting diodes has been developed at the University of Michigan. It could help extend the battery life of smartphones and laptops, or make next-gen televisions and displays much more energy efficient.

A new study from researcher at Whitehead Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers a way to more efficiently produce biofuels from woody plant materials such as corn residues and some grasses.

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a tablet-sized device that can reliably detect multiple COVID-19 antibodies and biomarkers simultaneously. Initial results show the test can distinguish between antibodies produced in response to SARS-CoV-2 and four other coronaviruses with 100% accuracy. The researchers are now working to see if the easy-to-use, energy-independent, point-of-care device can be used to predict the severity of a COVID-19 infection or a person's immunity against variants of the virus.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Wavsens LLC have developed a method for using radio signals to create real-time images and videos of hidden and moving objects, which could help firefighters find escape routes or victims inside buildings filled with fire and smoke. The technique could also help track hypersonic objects such as missiles and space debris.

Antacids improved blood sugar control in people with diabetes but had no effect on reducing the risk of diabetes in the general population, according to a new meta-analysis published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

MIT researchers found a way to reduce cellulosic feedstocks' toxicity to yeast, making it feasible to use these abundant feedstocks to produce ethanol, biodiesel, or bioplastics.
