Schiff base-metal complexes exhibit promising antibacterial and antioxidant properties. However, conventional methods for their preparation can be time-consuming. To reduce the reaction time and improve the quality and quantity of the products, researchers designed a new synthesis technique that uses microwave irradiation and methanol for the preparation of amino acid Schiff base copper complexes in just 10 minutes. The resulting products exhibit desirable properties, such as mild antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli.

DeepMind researchers have trained an AI system to find a popular policy for distributing public funds in an online game – but they also warn against “AI government”

A number of teachers in Ukraine are educating their students online from the front line.

On July 4, 2012, physicists from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider announced the observation of a Higgs boson at a mass of around 125 gigaelectronvolts. Ten years later, and with the data corresponding to the production of a 30-times larger number of Higgs bosons, the ATLAS and CMS researchers have learnt [...]

Electrodes implanted in the brain were known to release impulses that may "normalise" overactive connections within a specific circuit of the organ, but researchers were previously unsure whether the treatment offered long-term relief from severe depression

Testing how chimpanzees navigate in virtual environments could help researchers understand why they prefer certain routes in the wild over others

According to one researcher, juvenile white sharks are "hanging out" near coastal Southern California beaches, but beachgoers shouldn't necessarily be concerned.
