Sodium nitrate is used as a preservative and to add color to products such as ham and sausages, but is potentially carcinogenic and cannot be applied in beverages; researchers at the Federal University of São Carlos used pieces of cork and lasers to develop a sensor.
Study predicts that the two species of muriquis will be restricted mainly to coastal regions of the Atlantic Forest, leaving populations in the interior seriously at risk.
OpenIPMC ensures reliable data collection from the Large Hadron Collider’s detectors.
The fourth call for proposals for the program provides for investments of BRL 256 million. The announcement was made at a ceremony that also marked the start of Carlos Graeff’s term as the new CEO of the Executive Board.
The substance is essential for the survival of microbes in extreme environments and has been shown to have antioxidant, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties.
FAPESP-supported startup develops formulations based on bio-inputs to combat fungal infections and reduce the use of pesticides in fruit growing.
A study published in Science and involving a Brazilian researcher unveils a cellular mechanism involved in transmitting mutations in mitochondrial DNA. These mutations can cause serious, incurable diseases.
In tests with rodents, researchers observed that the immune system attempts to mitigate damage to the hypothalamus caused by food, which can lead to obesity in the long term. Animals whose migration of these cells was inhibited experienced greater weight gain, increased fat accumulation, and worsened metabolic markers.
At the 7th FAPESP 2025 Conference, Denise Duarte, researcher at the University of São Paulo’s Faculty of Architecture, Urbanism, and Design, spoke about the need to map the impacts of extreme events on an individual scale and create urban thermal refuge areas in public spaces.
