Laboratory studies show that microplastic particles entering the human gut negatively impact beneficial bacteria, causing changes similar to those linked to depression and colorectal cancer.

An Australian study revealed that human gut bacteria Bacillus subtilis can survive the harsh conditions of space travel, including launch and atmospheric re-entry, while maintaining their growth ability. These findings have important implications for astronaut health and planetary protection.

A recent study found that children living near electronic waste processing areas in China are at four times higher risk of developing high blood pressure compared to their peers. Exposure to toxic metals and volatile organic compounds disrupts blood pressure regulation and threatens children's health with serious diseases.

The Egyptian Museum houses jewelry adorning the mummy of Psusennes I from the 21st Dynasty, featuring golden rings with his royal names. Psusennes I was the second king of this dynasty, and his intact tomb was recently discovered, bringing renewed attention to his reign and artifacts.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid congratulates Jordanian-American Omar Yaghi on winning the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for inventing molecular structures that enable gas passage and have various environmental applications.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for their development of superconducting quantum computing systems.

Jordanian King Abdullah praised scientist Omar Yaghi for winning the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded to three scientists who developed new molecular structures to capture gases and extract water from air.

Researchers from the National Museum of Scotland have discovered a new extinct lizard species combining snake and lizard traits, which lived about 167 million years ago on the Isle of Skye. Named "the false snake," it features strong jaws, curved teeth, and a short body with fully developed limbs.

Tunisian researchers have discovered a new parasite in the spotted golden grouper fish in Tunisian waters. The parasite belongs to the Myxosporea group and resides in the fish's gallbladder. The study indicates that infection may affect fish health and could pose a threat if grouper aquaculture is developed in the future.

Researchers have developed a novel engineering method to control the movement of biological robots made from human lung cells. These microscopic living robots could potentially navigate inside the body to provide therapeutic or mechanical interventions.
