A soft and flexible electronic tongue can determine exact concentrations of pungent and spicy compounds in a variety of foods and can detect them at even lower levels than the human tongue. cen.acs.org/food/food-sc... #chemsky 🧪
A hydrogel ‘tongue’ precisely measures spiciness
The gel is inspired by how milk soothes spicy sensations

It’s World #AMR Awareness Week.

Did you know misusing antibiotics leads to drug resistance and side effects?

Learn about #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) 👉bit.ly/AMRweek2025
A graphic with the title “Test your antibiotic knowledge!” followed by a pill and question-mark icon. Below, a speech bubble labelled “False” with a red X reads: “Antibiotics are safe to use without a prescription.” Another speech bubble labelled “True” with a green checkmark reads: “Only use antibiotics if prescribed. Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them can lead to resistance and side effects.”

How do people around the world encounter science, and what shapes those encounters?

Our new global study found that social media now carries much of the world’s science content, but local culture, infrastructure, and curiosity still determine how people engage. #ScienceSky #scicomm
