14-Apr-2025 Lab-grown teeth might become an alternative to fillings following research breakthrough King's College London Adults could one day grow their own replacement teeth instead of having fillings – as scientists make a key discovery.
14-Apr-2025 Fighting honey fraud with AI technology McGill University McGill University researchers have developed an AI-powered method to verify the origin of honey, ensuring that what’s on the label matches what’s in the jar. The breakthrough offers a potential solution to a long-standing problem. “Honey is one of the most fraud-prone commodities in global trade. It often involves mislabelling where it was produced or the types of flowers that bees collected nectar from,” said lead author Stéphane Bayen, Associate Professor and Chair of McGill’s Department of Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry.

14-Apr-2025 Breaking limits: Full-aperture grating compressor paves the way for single-channel 100-petawatt ultrafast lasers Ultrafast Science Recently, a research team from Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM), Chinese Academy of Sciences, published a groundbreaking study in Ultrafast Science, demonstrating a novel Full-Aperture Grating Compressor (FAGC). This innovation overcomes critical limitations in traditional 4-grating compressors and provides key technical support for achieving single-channel 100-petawatt (PW) ultra-intense ultrafast lasers, a milestone in extreme physics research.

14-Apr-2025 Staircase chirality – a novel 3D chirality pattern Research In the past several decades, significant progress has been made in controlling molecular chirality, as evidenced by the several Nobel Prizes in chemistry awarded in this area, particularly for advancements in the asymmetric catalytic synthesis of molecules with central and axial chirality. However, the exploration of new types of chirality has been largely stagnant for more than half a century, likely due to the complexity and challenges inherent in this field. Prof Li and Liang’s groups at Texas Tech University present the discovery of a novel type of chirality—staircase chirality. Journal Research Funder Robert A.
