A study using data from 1,882 Qatar Biobank participants mapped how genetic differences may affect gene activity and health traits. Researchers say the findings could support future genetic research and testing.
An experimental medicine stopped an infant’s frequent seizures in Dubai, according to reports published on November 2, 2026. Doctors say the treatment remains under study and are monitoring the child.
Five King Abdulaziz University students built an underwater float that records depth, pressure, and temperature. The team placed seventh in an international underwater robotics championship.
Researchers developed an experimental soft underwater robot inspired by feather stars. It can move in three dimensions using only two actuators, and may eventually support underwater exploration and monitoring.
Syrian researcher Zahraa Alraies studies how cells respond to physical pressure at NYU Abu Dhabi. Her fundamental research may help scientists better understand cancer, but it is not a treatment or diagnostic tool.
The UAE presented a locally built probe for a mission planned to launch in 2028. After passing six asteroids, the spacecraft is expected to reach Justitia, where the probe will descend toward the surface and strike it.
A new report describes genetic differences between Arabian Sea humpback whales and other populations. Researchers say the findings support the possibility of recognizing them as a separate subspecies.
New drilling results at Morocco’s Boumadine project found gold, silver, lead, and zinc in rock samples. The work is helping the company assess the area before a possible mine development.
Researchers at KAUST tested live and inactive microbial treatments on heat-stressed Red Sea coral. One treatment of each type improved coral health in a fifteen-day field experiment.
Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence has begun a 25-year study in Abu Dhabi. The project will use health, lifestyle, genetic, sleep, and blood-glucose data to support earlier prediction and prevention of disease.
