Study finds genome loops don’t last long in cells; theories of how loops control gene expression may need to be revised.
A new technique compares the reasoning of a machine-learning model to that of a human, so the user can see patterns in the model’s behavior.
MIT researchers design a robot that has a trick or two up its sleeve.
An efficient machine-learning method uses chemical knowledge to create a learnable grammar with production rules to build synthesizable monomers and polymers.
Marine archaeologists from Lund University in Sweden have found exotic spices such as black pepper, cloves, ginger and saffron on the royal warship Gribshunden, that belonged to the Danish King Hans.
A new technique could enable a robot to manipulate squishy objects like pizza dough or soft materials like clothing.
Is it possible to know exactly where to point a microscope in order to capture the precise moment a bacterium or a virus infects a cell?
Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have discovered higher levels of immune proteins in the blood before and after an epileptic seizure.
Exercising too much and not getting enough rest is bad for your health.
Dense urban areas amplify the effects of higher temperatures, due to the phenomenon of heat islands in cities.
A species of ordinary gut bacteria that we all carry flourishes when the intestinal flora is knocked out by a course of antibiotics
A little Martian dust appears to go a long way. A small amount of simulated crushed Martian rock mixed with a titanium alloy made a stronger, high-performance material in a 3D‑printing process that one day could be used on Mars to make tools or rocket parts.
Over time the water collected behind dams will release greater amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas with even worse effects than carbon dioxide, according to a recent study.
Feeding honey to hibernating bears helped Washington State University researchers find the potential genetic keys to the bears’ insulin control, an advance that could ultimately lead to a treatment for human diabetes.
Given a choice, captive bears mimic mixed diets of their wild peers
Some smart home technology could help curb opioid overdose. A Washington State University pilot study showed that a set of noninvasive home sensors could provide accurate information about overnight restlessness and sleep problems for people recovering from opioid use disorder.
Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2?
Swedish obstetricians and gynecologists are noticeably more emotionally stable and conscientious compared to the majority of the Swedish population.
Seeds and fat balls do more than just fill small birds’ stomachs.
By studying green algae in Swedish lakes, a research team, led by Lund University in Sweden, has succeeded in identifying which environmental conditions promote multicellularity.
