Chandigarh University in India stands out as a notable case, with its peer-reviewed publications skyrocketing from 362 in 2019 to 2281 in 2023—a breathtaking 530% increase. […]

# Advancing Colour Purity in Blue Quantum Dots Free of Heavy Metals A significant advancement in quantum dot technology has resulted in the creation of QLEDs that emit pure blue light without the need for hazardous heavy metals. Researchers from China have improved the clarity and stability of zinc–selenium–tellurium (ZnSeTe) quantum dots by adding sulfur […]

# **Biomolecular Condensates and Their Effect on Cellular Electrochemical Gradients** Biomolecular condensates are unique structures within cells that arise through liquid-liquid phase separation. These non-membrane-bound assemblies are vital for cellular organization, gene regulation, and protein storage. Recent findings indicate that these condensates do more than merely gather and concentrate biomolecules—they actively affect electrochemical gradients within […]

# **Increasing Apprehensions Surround NIH Inquiry into mRNA Vaccine Funding** The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recently sought comprehensive details on all research grants it provides for messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine technology. Although the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which supervises the NIH, claims that no funding cuts are occurring, skepticism […]

# **Serendipitous Discovery: Remarkable Microscopic Patterns Engraved on Germanium Surface** An astonishing revelation in materials science has arisen from a minor overnight mistake. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) discovered a captivating array of microscopic patterns—spirals, radial motifs, and complex disordered formations—engraved on the surface of a germanium wafer. This unanticipated occurrence […]
