The buildup of misfolded proteins in the brain plays a key role in diseases such as Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. However, these harmful proteins appear indistinguishable from normal ones to the human eye. The formation of protein aggregates typically occurs unpredictably and within minutes—making detection and analysis difficult. Yet, identifying and understanding these aggregates is

While robots for household chores have long been anticipated, most available models are just robot vacuums. More advanced robots that clean surfaces, organize, or cook are either too costly or not yet on the market. Researchers at Northeastern University developed SCCRUB, a soft robotic arm that scrubs surfaces—going beyond vacuuming and mopping. According to a

Methane is a major environmental concern—it ranks as the second most prevalent greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and is roughly 28 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere. While it’s commonly linked to coal production and livestock digestion, unexpected sources such as cow burps—and now, as Swedish researchers have discovered, ships traveling through
