Smithsonian’s Panama Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project releases Panama’s critically endangered golden frogs into the wild

As a response to the grave problem of antimicrobial resistance, researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar have developed ultrasound-activated molecules. A major advantage of ultrasound is its ability to reach several centimetres into tissues. The team synthesised four estrone-linked BODIPY derivatives. Experiments showed that EBD-1 was the best-performing derivative capable of killing bacteria after exposure to ultrasound. If these laboratory findings show similar trends in future clinical trials, this approach could develop as an encouraging alternative to treat localised resistant bacterial infections. 

Comments written quickly after an article was published were more likely to contain hate and threats than those posted later. This is shown by a time analysis conducted by researchers at the University of Gothenburg of 38 million reader comments on The Guardian’s website.

The University of Texas at Arlington Career Development Center and Bell Textron Inc. (Bell) are strengthening the pipeline from classroom to career through the Bell College Work Experience Program, a paid, hands-on initiative that places UTA engineering students directly inside Bell’s aerospace operations.

Amid intensifying global competition for technological leadership in secondary batteries, a major international platform for global collaboration and industry engagement has successfully concluded. The Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT, President Lee Young-kuk) announced that it successfully hosted the “2026 International Forum on Next-Generation Secondary Batteries” from February 5 to 6 at the Seoul Science and Technology Convention Center, with the participation of approximately 300 stakeholders from industry, academia, research institutes, and government.
