Climate anxiety is at an all-time high, especially among the younger generation, which shares a deep sense of urgency and fear about the environmental challenges ahead. Recent research from Curtin University shed light on similar anxieties among young Australians, highlighting their significant implications for the youngsters’ lives and futures. Yet, amid these prevalent concerns, the study also unveils a stark reality: a mere fraction of this demographic is taking proactive steps to address them.

Believe it or not, “gamification” has already permeated various aspects of our daily routines, from fitness-tracking challenges to shopping rewards programs. To evaluate its efficacy in the workplace, researchers from West Virginia University devised an experiment to evaluate its efficacy in the workplace. They found that individuals tend to perform better at monotonous tasks when those tasks are transformed into games.

New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London, in partnership with the University of Greenwich, has uncovered a direct socioeconomic impact of loneliness in early adolescence. It found that lonely young adults are more prone to being disengaged from education or employment, and even perceive themselves as less employable.

Researchers have manipulated a type of white blood cells, called macrophages, to eliminate solid tumours by silencing their molecular pathway that prevents them from attacking our own cells.

Providing possible insights into how artificial intelligence (AI) systems operate, new research showed that they can process signals in a way strikingly similar to how the brain interprets speech.

In humans and other animals, sex is usually determined by a single gene. However, there are claims that in some species, such as platyfish, it takes a whole "parliament" of genes acting together to determine whether offspring develop as a male or female.

Ahead of the summer vacation, 85 cent parents are worried about kids spending excessive screen time during the break, a survey report commissioned by Amazon said on Tuesday.

The advantages of living in cities for young people's healthy growth and development are shrinking across much of the world, according to a global analysis of trends in child and adolescent height and body mass index (BMI).

Industries typically use much bulkier metres - roughly one inch long by five inches tall - to measure pH levels or how acidic or basic the food is, so they are not suitable to be included in every package of food to monitor its freshness in real-time.

The four-day working week continues to gain momentum, with pilots taking place in the UK, Ireland, US, Canada and Australia. Over six-month periods between February and November, employees at participating businesses are working only 80% of their time but still receiving 100% of their salary and benefits.

Thankfully, the UK now looks to be past the peak of both the recent heatwave and the latest COVID wave. But there will be more of both and in future, we might think about how we protect ourselves from COVID in the same way we protect ourselves from the weather.

The bioartificial tissue construct is made with living heart cells and beats strongly enough to pump fluid inside a bioreactor, said the team from the University of Toronto.

Consuming limited amounts of dark chocolate may help improve blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity, two important factors in the onset of diabetes, according to research.

Scientists from Japan have brought us one step closer to human-like robots by crafting living human skin on robots which gave their fingers skin-like texture, as well as water-repellent and self-healing functions. While current silicone skin made for robots can mimic human appearance, it falls short when it comes to delicate textures like wrinkles and lacks skin-specific functions.
