The accumulation of these algae on beaches can harm health, tourism, fishing, and biodiversity. They are usually collected and disposed of in landfills, but a study by Brazilian researchers has found a use for the biomass: to produce lightweight ceramic clay aggregates.Large quantities of brown algae have been washing up on beaches in northern Brazil, the Caribbean, and the United States.

Researchers found sauropod bones with signs of osteomyelitis, an infectious disease that can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or protozoa and that killed the animals quickly. The discovery suggests that favorable conditions for the disease existed in the region about 80 million years ago.

Research involving more than 2,000 Brazilians reveals that while everyone’s performance is consistently lower in the morning, the afternoon shift only improves the performance of students with few or no symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The vaccine is being developed by researchers at the University of São Paulo and is based on technology known as “virus-like particles” (VLPs), which does not use genetic material from the pathogen.

In a world where automation is advancing by leaps and bounds, collaboration between robots is no longer science fiction. Imagine a warehouse where dozens of machines transport goods without colliding, a restaurant where robots serve dishes to the correct tables, or a factory where robot teams instantly adjust their tasks according to demand. This future is possible thanks to systems like the one we’ve developed: an open-source framework based on ROS2 that allows multiple robots to work together intelligently, flexibly, and safely.

Global guideline establishes new standard for investigating bioactive lipids related to inflammation, immunity, cancer, and neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Accurately quantifying them in biological samples is challenging and requires rigorous methodologies.

The study accessed ancestral knowledge and cataloged 175 medicinal plants used to treat diseases such as parasitic worms, diabetes, and hypertension. Community participation was central to all stages of the study.
