Researchers at Wroclaw Medical University report that acidified sodium chlorite—sold online as “Miracle Mineral Solution” (MMS)—can destroy bacteria and biofilms, but only at concentrations that also damage human cells and may harm beneficial gut microbes. The team warns that homemade mixtures are particularly risky because dosing can vary widely, and it says there is no solid scientific evidence supporting MMS as a treatment for diseases such as cancer, autism or COVID-19.
Egypt’s Agricultural Research Centre has secured second place in the Middle East and North Africa in the 2025 Scimago regional rankings for research centres, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation. The announcement came during a scientific event organised by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in collaboration with Elsevier and the Arab Federation for Research Councils. The ranking highlights the centre’s growing research performance and its role in achieving food security.

Researchers have developed a new bioluminescent imaging tool that allows neurons to glow from within, enabling real-time observation of brain activity without external lasers. This innovation, called CaBLAM, overcomes limitations of traditional fluorescence methods by providing clearer, longer-lasting recordings in living animals. The tool promises deeper insights into neural function and potential applications beyond the brain.
A new study indicates that the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica has crossed an irreversible tipping point, potentially accelerating global sea level rise. Researchers analyzed decades of satellite data to reach this conclusion. The findings highlight the urgent risks posed by climate change in polar regions.

A team of astrophysicists has identified potential new characteristics of dark matter through advanced simulations. The findings, detailed in a recent study, suggest dark matter may interact more strongly with ordinary matter than previously thought. This could reshape our understanding of the universe's composition.
