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.

Normally discarde, green beans from the Arara cultivar were subjected to airless fermentation and produced high-quality beverages in blind tests. Researchers see potential for the product to be valued in domestic and foreign markets.

Researchers at a FAPESP-supported research center have managed to reduce Candida albicans’ resistance to fungicides by incorporating photodynamic inactivation techniques into the treatment. The results of the study indicate that the technology can be used in both human healthcare and the prevention of food contamination.  

What do volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tropical storms have in common? More than it seems—especially when they occur on fragile volcanic islands like the Galápagos. This iconic archipelago, world-renowned for its unique biodiversity, is increasingly under threat from multiple natural hazards, many of which do not act in isolation. A new study led by researchers at the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL) presents an innovative multi-hazard analysis framework aimed at helping prevent disasters and protect both human communities and their ecosystems.

International team of researchers issues global warning about the need to include frugivores in conservation, forest restoration, and climate change mitigation strategies.Seeds consumed by animals germinate more and faster and establish themselves in safer places to grow.
