Resolution of a two-decade debate enhances our understanding of how embryos develop differences between their left and right sides
New applications in energy, defense and telecommunications could receive a boost after a team at The University of Texas at Austin created a new type of “nanocrystal gel” — a gel composed of tiny nanocrystals each 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair that are linked together into an organized network.
Rapid weight gain in the first and final months of a pregnancy may play a key role in the development of excess fat tissue in children and adolescents – at least if those children are girls, according to a new study from researchers at The University of Texas at Austin.
Having a high class rank in third grade, independent of test scores and other measures of achievement, positively affects long-term life outcomes, according to a new study of millions of Texas elementary school students.
Thanks to 20 years of seismic data processed through one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, scientists have created the first complete, 3D visualization of a mountain-size rock called the Kumano Pluton buried miles beneath the coast of southern Japan.
Using cellphone mobility data and COVID-19 hospital admissions data, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have reliably forecast regional hospital demands for almost two years, according to a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
A study of almost 2 million U.S. residents across 199 cities shows that rising housing costs may drive increases in “openness” of character among residents of a city — all in well under a decade.
Researchers from the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich deciphered the cellular mechanisms through which tendons can adapt to mechanical stresses. People who carry a certain variant of a gene that is key to this mechanism show improved jumping performance.
Liquid water previously detected under Mars’ ice-covered south pole is probably just a dusty mirage, according to a new study of the red planet led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin.
Researchers have predicted that expanding the Aransas Pass — the marine pass between Mustang Island and Saint Joseph Island, offshore from the town of Aransas Pass, Texas — would increase the native red drum fish population.
Software development teams given the freedom to tackle their projects in whatever ways they choose are more productive and have more satisfied customers than teams that follow a central corporate standard, according to new research from The University of Texas at Austin.
Contrary to expectation, experiments show that edges are not needed to realize an unusual quantum effect
One species of bacteria that lives in the gut can contribute to weight gain in mice by overproducing trans fatty acids
A carefully designed behavioral task reveals the interplay between the visual system and brain cells that guide decision making in mice
Two protein complexes play key but different roles in silencing one X chromosome in female mammals
COVID-19, in its multiple variants and its ability to thwart efforts to wipe it out, still has a lot of unknowns that make it impossible for scientists to declare victory over the disease, despite vaccines.
The Liver4Life research team, is comprised of scientists from the University Hospital Zurich (USZ), ETH Zurich. The university has achieved an extraordinary breakthrough in the field of medicine.
Fungicides widely used to prevent apples from spoiling may be fueling the superbug crisis by acting as reservoir for drug-resistant strains of a deadly pathogen, warn researchers from McMaster University and the University of Delhi.
Regular cycling can greatly improve mobility in patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD), a genetic disease that causes muscle degeneration, a study led by McMaster researchers finds.
New research from McMaster and McGill universities provides insight into the factors that may lead to vaccine hesitancy among older adults, who are known to be at increased risk of severe symptoms from COVID-19.
