A new method allowed researchers to turn essential oil compounds into durable yet decomposable polymers, making them promising candidates for producing more sustainable plastics.
| | | Lingnan University Perovskite solar cells are low cost and efficient, but face serious stability problems. A team designed a crosslinkable molecule that forms stable bonds, suppressing degradation and improving compactness. JJ24
| | | | Plant aging switch Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST)
Researchers discovered how an RNA made from the nucleus acts as a switch to signal when plant leaves begin to age. The finding could help develop enhancements for more productive and resilient crops. | | | Kanazawa University New research uncovered how a specific protein forms tiny liquid-like droplets inside the cell nucleus to guard against cancer by keeping tumor-suppressor genes "turned on."

| | | | Greener gold The University of Osaka
Using microalgae, scientists developed an eco-friendly method to create gold nanoparticles that effectively destroy cancer cells while showing lower toxicity to healthy cells. | | | Hiroshima University Astronomers have uncovered a distant galaxy glowing intensely while forming stars 180 times faster than our own Milky Way. Superheated cosmic dust
| | | | How research shapes sustainability policy Springer Nature
A new report analysed how academic research is influencing policy tied to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and found that 78% of research cited includes authors based only in countries in the Global North. | | | Science reporter Holly Chik will give a talk on "Science Journalism in the AI Era: Experiences from the South China Morning Post."
