Scientists have found a sunlight-driven method to break one of the toughest chemical bonds, the carbon–fluorine (C–F) bonds that needs severing for recycling, drug design, or transforming industrial chemicals.

A new study has introduced an artificial intelligence framework that could change how we understand and treat cancer. The framework gives us a new lens to look at cancer—not by its size or spread alone, but by its molecular personality.

Scientists have uncovered how gold nanoparticles—the tiny particles that give rise to powerful optical technologies—change their behaviour when exposed to certain every day molecules like Amino Acids & Salts, paving the way towards smarter biosensors, better diagnostic tools, and even more reliable drug delivery systems.

A hidden protein that protects our cells from mechanical stress could provide a new direction to therapeutic strategies for diseases where protein stability under force is compromised like heart muscle disease or genetic disorders called laminopathies.
