10 years ago we saw a breakthrough in modern biology.
Scientists have made a fascinating new discovery about the formation of mineral deposits crucial to our transition to a ‘green economy’.
A biologist and a philosopher have collaborated on a new book that looks at how microbial communities regenerate--and why.
As the sun sets, bumblebees revisit "profitable" flowers they encountered during the day, new research suggests.
Exeter scientists have provided hope in the fight to control Panama disease in bananas.
Researchers from Université de Montréal and the University of Minnesota have developed a fast, nondestructive way of estimating how millions of dried plant specimens interacted with their environment.
Forty years ago, physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics found a new plasma state that could be particularly suitable for energy production: the H-mode.
UCI study shows how climate mitigation options would affect health of various communities
The electric charge of insects can cause changes in the electricity of the atmosphere which are comparable with weather processes, researchers at the University of Bristol and University of Reading have found.
An investigation by the British Medical Journal (BMJ), highlights companies are offering private blood tests for a range of conditions and deficiencies, with some making misleading claims, not backed by evidence, and leaving an already overworked NHS to follow up “abnormal results".
NASA’s InSight lander recorded a magnitude 4 marsquake on Christmas Eve, 2021, but scientists learned only later from orbiter images the cause of that quake
Following two large meteorite impacts on Mars, researchers have observed, for the first time, seismic waves propagating along the surface of a planet other than Earth.
Researchers have discovered a potential new method for making the high-performance magnets used in wind turbines and electric cars without the need for rare earth elements, which are almost exclusively sourced in China.
UVA Health Cancer Center researchers have developed an algorithm that will improve cancer care by quickly and easily identifying patients who will benefit from powerful cancer drugs called kinase inhibitors.
A new and unexpected cell death mechanism found in fly guts opens up big questions about how the digestive system really maintains its balance.
The structure of light-harvesting antennas in a species of cyanobacteria is revealed, yielding insights into energy transfer mechanisms during photosynthesis
For teenager Arhan Rao, repurposing an antidepressant drug to treat cancer is the opening act in a career of serving patients by finding new ways to stop tumors.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made the world aware of the deadly consequences of a new pathogen for which there was little preparation and no initial vaccine.
An international team of scientists who analyzed centuries-old DNA from victims and survivors of the Black Death pandemic has identified key genetic differences that determined who lived and who died, and how those aspects of our immune systems have continued to evolve since that time.
Across Silicon Valley and beyond, tech entrepreneurs are making big promises to disrupt our diets.
