Mosquitoes are among the world’s deadliest animals, spreading diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika and yellow fever that affect hundreds of millions of people every year. While traditional mosquito control relies on insecticides, bed nets and habitat management, researchers are now exploring a high-tech alternative. An experimental autonomous drone uses ultrasonic phased-array sonar, artificial intelligence…

However, the construction industry accounts for a great part of the global CO₂ footprint due to massive emissions of carbon dioxide while producing cement and concrete. Although some success has been achieved by architects and engineers in the creation of alternatives, there is still no such type of sustainable building material that would not only…

For many people, Lewis Howard Latimer is remembered for his later work on electric lighting and his association with Thomas Edison. Yet years before he became involved in the electrical industry, he helped solve a far more ordinary problem that affected railway passengers every day. Travelling by train in the nineteenth century was becoming increasingly…

Deep inside Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, far from crowded towns and city streets, scientists found a surprising pattern in the insects they were studying. Mosquitoes living in protected forest areas appeared to have been feeding on humans more often than expected, despite being surrounded by natural habitat. The discovery has raised questions about how environmental change…

Two people can spend years inside the same demanding, unglamorous work and come away describing it completely differently. One calls it a job, something endured for the sake of what it eventually produces. The other calls it beautiful, and means it literally, even in the middle of the most exhausting stretches of it. Marie Curie,…

Success can be defined as a result of diligence, determination, and talent. However, history proves that for many individuals, success was achieved through the struggle in different conditions. Rules, demands, and opportunities were defined by the individual who aimed at achieving them. The words of Mary Jackson, “Every time we get a chance to get…

A new study which was done across tropical countries suggests that non-native trees can become surprisingly common in young regenerating forests, especially where the canopy is still open. But as the forest matures and the canopy closes, their share tends to decline. The study was published in Nature’s July 2026 journal.The research analysed 1,561 forest…

The great Bermuda snail, which was once considered to be lost forever, is now safe and secure. The species known as Poecilozonites bermudensis was believed to be lost for over 40 years until a small surviving population was rediscovered in a damp alleyway in the North Atlantic archipelago’s capital, Hamilton, about ten years ago. They…

There are no limits to a human’s materialistic wants and emotional feelings. Attachment is the quickest development to happen and the slowest to recede. This is possibly why archaeologists in El Salvador found a 2,800-year-old burial of a person clutching a sea turtle vessel.The Mesoamerican burial found a face-down human skeleton that may be from…

Millions of years before roads connected modern cities, dinosaurs were already following well-worn routes across ancient landscapes. A remarkable fossil site in central Bolivia has preserved this prehistoric movement in extraordinary detail. Scientists have documented more than 16,000 dinosaur footprints at the Carreras Pampa tracksite in Torotoro National Park, making it the world’s largest known…
