Green breakthrough: Mouse eyes performed photosynthesis in a remarkable experiment that could transform eye care |

Scientists have achieved a remarkable feat by enabling mouse eyes to perform part of the photosynthetic process using specially designed eye drops derived from spinach leaves. The experimental treatment, developed by researchers at the National University of Singapore, was created to combat dry eye disease, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Rather than […]

From searching for stars to finding Wi-Fi: The failed radar experiment that changed the world

Back in the late 1970s, a group of radio astronomers from Australia embarked on theoretical research. They aimed to detect the faint radio signals from exploding black holes. This endeavour seemed more aligned with pure science than any practical application. Dr John O’Sullivan led this team at CSIRO, and while they technically ‘failed’ to find […]
