Researchers have unveiled the transformative potential of micropattern arrays—engineered microstructures—to probe and guide cellular biomechanics. These arrays not only help decipher how cells sense physical cues but also steer tissue regeneration and stem cell fate, paving the way for breakthroughs in tissue regeneration, organ-on-a-chip systems, and disease modeling.

Researchers have discovered a dramatic and unexpected shift in the Southern Ocean, with surface water salinity rising and sea ice in steep decline.

A new online platform, SMRT-Flames, can identify areas in need of land management in order to reduce future smoke exposures from uncontrolled fires. While most wildfire tools predict fire risk, SMRT-Flames explicitly considers smoke exposure across populations

In a bold stride toward carbon neutrality, seven researchers from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), South Korea, unveil a novel catalytic reaction which selectively produces value-added alcohols from CO₂ using electrochemical conversion. The cutting-edge technology enables mass production of high value-added feedstock chemicals with world-class efficiency (four times higher efficiency than those achieved till date)—laying the groundwork for a zero-carbon future.
