A technological platform developed by Brazilian researchers could revolutionize the treatment of skin diseases such as psoriasis and vitiligo. The group, affiliated with the NanoGeneSkin laboratory at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Ribeirão Preto, is developing nanoparticles capable of delivering therapeutic RNA molecules directly to skin cells. These nanoparticles can precisely silence the genes responsible for chronic inflammation at the molecular level.
We're heading to the "World's Most Famous Arena" for Game 3 of the Finals!
Over the last decade, podcasts have become big business, with more than a fifth of UK adults listening to podcasts each week. The format particularly resonates with men, who are more likely than women to identify as podcast fans. Men are also overrepresented as podcast hosts.
Almost a quarter of all freshwater species are threatened with extinction. The removal of human-made barriers from rivers, such as dams and weirs, is a popular way to restore water flow and sediment transport to its natural state and allow fish and other aquatic wildlife to move more freely.
Tonys emcees pretty vacant So now it’s summertime and the TV is easy. And every out-of-work butcher, baker and unemployed bra-maker is an authority. Like particularly on the — ugh! — Tonys. One out-of-work lighting expert who never earned enough to cheat on income tax solved the problem of TV’s ratings war. He said: “CBS?...
Among the cases cited by prosecutors is a high-profile animal cruelty prosecution that attracted widespread attention in 2025.
On Chicago’s Southeast Side, the possibility of a new stadium just across the state line has fans and business owners excited about what it could mean for the area.
Natural gas is losing its grip on the global power mix as countries increasingly turn to cheaper, more secure renewable energy, according to a new report from climate and energy think tank Ember. Ember’s analysis found that 61 out of 124 economies that generate electricity from gas have already passed peak gas power generation. That includes four G7 countries: the UK, Germany, Italy, and Japan. more…
From the air, you see it only through the constant jolt, tilt, and shudder of the low-flying Cessna aircraft. The landscape of the Llanos de Moxos, northern Bolivia, appears as a disconnected patchwork of open grassland savannahs, forest islands, and lakes.
As nations prepare to compete on the global stage this summer, researchers at the University of Reading have created a different kind of scoreboard that shows where each country really stands on climate change. The Real Scoreline compares countries using six climate indicators—including emissions, fossil fuel dependence, heat stress, projected warming and net-zero commitments—producing a single score out of a possible 99 that reveals how nations compare beyond the traditional scoreboard.
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have developed a practical, comprehensive noise-modeling framework for a popular class of superconducting quantum processors. Their work, published in the journal PRX Quantum, offers a sevenfold improvement in predictive accuracy over existing approaches.
