Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular type of rechargeable battery in use today. They power many of the devices we rely on daily, including mobile phones and electric vehicles. These batteries are lightweight,
Ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in physiological functions, among which deterioration of the immune system termed immunosenescence—has profound implications for human health.
Haploinsufficient genes show how losing one gene copy can affect brain development, increasing risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and behaviour changes.
Using a simple childhood observation as the starting point, we show how shifting from origin-based to boundary-based thinking resolves infinite regress and opens a clearer way to engage with fundamental concepts in physics, time, and existence
Depression has affected humans for hundreds of years. Symptoms can include persistent feelings of sadness, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and a loss of interest in social activities. Science doesn’t yet fully understand the causes and effects, but here’s what we do know: the brain is a powerful organ, and it is capable of change. Made up of a wide network of connections, it relies on chemicals, electrical impulses, and billions of neurons. Let’s explore how brain science
Explore how Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) works, its role in hard-to-abate industries, and how geology helps trap CO₂ to combat climate change.
Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are natural and synthetic chemicals that interfere with endocrine system function by altering hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and receptor binding.
According to a study, sleeping in a dark room works wonders for your heart. During sleep, ambient light can put stress on the brain that causes arterial inflammation, which may again lead to a stroke or heart attack. Let us delve into and explore the study further.
As a pharmacist during clinical clerking, I frequently encounter patients who use the term “toilet infections” to describe symptoms that clinically align with bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections, or yeast infections. This widespread misconception often stems from the assumption that symptoms occurring after the use of public toilets must be caused by them.
Can algorithms predict sickness before you feel it? Explore how AI is using smartwatch data and ECGs to detect diseases like Alzheimer's and AFib early.
Selective oxidation reactions are central to modern biochemistry. They enable the controlled introduction of oxygen into organic molecules, a key step in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. However, many of the enzymatic systems traditionally used for these transformations are complex and difficult to implement in practice.
Cells constantly sense signals from their environment and convert them into internal actions through biochemical signalling pathways.
In many areas of physics, the word “singularity” implies the breakdown of equations — an undefined point where the mathematics “fails” or where physical laws suddenly stop working. But this interpretation has always felt philosophically unsatisfying. Why should nature permit a point where its own rules dissolve?
This article aims to demystify the anatomy of a clinical trial protocol, peeling back the technical layers to reveal how scientific rigor is converted into medical progress. At ScientistsHub, we often ask: How do we ensure that a medical breakthrough is not just a stroke of luck, but a repeatable, verifiable victory for human health? The answer is found in the design. To truly appreciate the result of any trial, one must first master the architecture of the inquiry.
Cell and gene therapies represent a seismic shift in healthcare. They promise to cure the incurable, restoring sight to the blind and erasing cancer from the blood. But this frontier is wild. It comes with biological price tags, potential genetic misfires, and a regulatory landscape that is still being mapped.
Inhalable vaccines trigger powerful mucosal immunity where pathogens enter the body, offering needle-free protection against respiratory diseases.
Vaccines need precise temperature control to work but maintaining the cold chain wastes half of all doses globally. New thermostable formulations could change everything.
Have you ever intended to check a single notification, only to realize forty minutes have vanished into an endless scroll? In 2026, privacy is no longer just about your data; it is about your thought process. Is your next choice truly yours, or has a 'Digital Twin' already made it for you
Artificial Intelligence AI with it’s widespread use in various sectors has also taken a dive into healthcare by transforming clinical practice and improving patient care.
India’s space program, led by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has evolved from modest experimental launches into a globally recognized scientific and technological enterprise.
