Annual damage caused by flooding in the UK could increase by more than a fifth over the next century due to climate change unless all international pledges to reduce carbon emissions are met, according to new research.
Pioneering research showing the mental health benefits of surfing by a University of Bristol student has led to an exciting partnership with The Wave to expand the study.
The same genetics that helped some of our ancestors fight the plague is still likely to be at work in our bodies today, potentially providing some of the population with extra protection against respiratory diseases such as COVID-19, according to research led by scientists at University of Bristol.
A new set of 100-year climate projections has been created to assess the likelihood of heavy rain downpours in the UK, which can cause flash flooding, over the coming years and decades.
An analysis extending from southern Portugal to northern Norway highlights the importance of temperature in determining where fish species are found.
Active monitoring of prostate cancer has the same high survival rates after 15 years as radiotherapy or surgery, reports the largest study of its kind today.
New research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has discovered that bacteria present in the lungs create an environment that suppresses the activation of cancer-killing T cells in the nearby lymph nodes, making immunotherapy treatments less effective.
Livestock dung could be used to create the next generation of cellulosic materials, according to a new report.
One of the first practical applications of the much-hyped but little-used quantum computing technology is now within reach, thanks to a unique approach that sidesteps the major problem of scaling up such prototypes.
Evidence from past extinctions cannot be used as a definitive way of predicting future biodiversity loss, scientists have found by using AI.
A team of scientists at Rice University has discovered a new enzyme with precision molecular control in directing specific molecules on how to arrange themselves right down to the angle of their individual hydrogen bonds that could lead to the development of better therapeutic options.
A team of researchers from Rice University has used fluorescence lifetime (FLT) to understand a peptide associated with Alzheimer's disease, finding that protein plaques associated with disease are stickier than previously thought.
University of Missouri researchers were awarded a $2.35 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to help overcome drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer.
After MU researchers started examining the impact of smoke on plant growth after a wildfire, their surprising discovery could one day lead to new farming practices.
