Electricity reprograms immune cells to speed up recovery
Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have found that applying electrical currents to “macrophages,” a crucial type of immune cell, can reprogram them to reduce inflammation and promote faster healing in cases of disease or injury. This discovery points to a promising new treatment strategy, and the research team is continuing to study the mechanisms behind…

Scientists turn common semiconductor into a superconductor
For decades, researchers have tried to create semiconductor materials that can also act as superconductors — materials capable of carrying electric current without resistance. Semiconductors, which form the foundation of modern computer chips and solar cells, could operate far faster and more efficiently if they also possessed superconducting abilities. Yet turning materials like silicon and…

Some companies request the use of these…
It sounds creepy, but these scientific breakthroughs could save lives
Brains, spiders, (were)wolves and slimy eyeballs might sound like props from a horror movie, but these eerie topics come straight from serious scientific research. Studies published in ACS journals are exploring innovative ways to improve human health, from growing brain tissue without animal testing to creating on-demand wound care and developing edible coatings that keep…
Your pumpkin might be hiding a toxic secret
Researchers in Japan have revealed how some gourds draw pollutants into their fruits. The secret lies in a protein that carries contaminants through the plant sap. By manipulating this protein’s structure, scientists hope to breed crops that resist contamination or serve as natural soil purifiers. This finding bridges food safety and environmental cleanup.
