In a world grappling with deep-seated division and social upheaval, empathy has become more critical than ever. But science suggests when it comes to evoking empathy, our imagination is more powerful than we previously thought. A new study reveals how the different ways to experience empathy affect our willingness to help others. In a world …

The authors of a new study are warning people with type-1 diabetes to use fitness video games with caution. The study has found that ‘exergames’ can change people’s perceptions of how fatigued they are — which is potentially harmful for those with the condition. The authors of a new study are warning people with type-1 …

Phonetic information — the smallest sound elements of speech — may not be the basis of language learning in babies as previously thought. Babies don’t begin to process phonetic information reliably until seven months old — which researchers say is too late to form the foundation of language. Instead, babies learn from rhythmic information — …

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a material traversed by a network of channels the size of micrometres in the same way as the microstructure of a bird’s feather. To do so they have developed a new method based on the phase separation of a polymer matrix and an oily solution. The new material could …
Scientists are testing a novel technology to treat endodontic diseases more effectively through tissue regeneration instead of root canal therapy. Because the technology promotes formation of the type of stem cells that can differentiate into dentin (tooth), bone, cartilage or fat, it has huge potential for the field of regenerative medicine beyond the tissues in the …
