Top 55 Science Trends in March

From Cosmetics Testing Services to Oncology Skin Databases

— March 8, 2026 — Tech
The March 2026 science space is filled with emerging technologies affecting sustainable packaging, health and wellness, and renewable energy solutions. Advanced materials and AI-driven biotech innovations are continuing to redefine efficiency, personalization, and environmental responsibility across industries, and this list highlights some innovative examples.

Research projects have led CJ BIO to announce the publication of a peer-reviewed clinical study confirming the skin health benefits of its postbiotic ingredient, BiomeNrich POST SZ075. Derived from a kimchi-isolated strain fermented with rice germ, the ingredient is positioned as a science-driven inner-beauty solution that supports both sleep and skin wellness.

In the healthcare space, CooperVision has launched its MiSight® 1 Day Myopia Control contact lens for commercial availability in Japan. Specifically designed for children, the lens not only corrects nearsightedness but also helps slow its progression. MiSight® 1 Day serves as the first lens of its kind to receive regulatory approval in Japan for this dual function.
