Recent analyses indicate that the effects of climate change are intensifying more rapidly than previously anticipated, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive global action. Renowned climate scientist Professor James Hansen has declared the international 2°C climate change target “dead,” citing underestimated global heating due to reductions in sun-blocking shipping pollution and higher climate sensitivity to […]
In a recent study published on February 7, 2025, scientists have delved deeper into the workings of the spliceosome, a complex molecular machine responsible for ensuring that genetic information is accurately transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA). This process is crucial for the correct assembly of mature mRNA, which in turn dictates protein synthesis within cells.
In a monumental leap for biomedical science, the Human Cell Atlas project is crafting an intricate map of human cells, offering profound insights into health and disease. This global initiative, led by Sarah Teichmann, aims to catalog the diverse cell types in the human body, elucidating their roles in various conditions. Deciphering the Cellular Landscape
Chemical engineering is at the heart of the petrochemical industry, transforming raw hydrocarbons into valuable products that fuel modern society. From gasoline and plastics to fertilizers and pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals play a vital role in everyday life. This blog explores the key processes, technologies, and innovations that chemical engineers employ to optimize the petrochemical industry, highlighting
In a remarkable turn of events, physicists have potentially discovered evidence of a fifth fundamental force of nature, challenging the long-standing view that the universe is governed solely by gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. This breakthrough, emerging from experiments at Hungary’s Atomki Institute, could completely transform our understanding of
