Scientists say continuous monitoring of the cholera bug genome is key to preventing outbreaks of new variants.
A team of astronomers has developed a method that will allow them to ‘see’ through the fog of the early Universe and detect light from the first stars and galaxies.
A study of 29 European lakes has found that some naturally-occurring lake bacteria grow faster and more efficiently on the remains of plastic bags than on natural matter like leaves and twigs.
Scales developed by a Texas A&M professor could inform future interventions for getting adults to spend more time outdoors.
University of Arizona researchers have discovered a protein that is responsible for controlling cell growth in yeasts. Since humans and yeasts have remarkably similar cellular mechanisms, teasing out the differences presents drug developers with new targets for treatments.
The first ancient herpes genomes to be sequenced suggest that the virus became widespread with Bronze Age migrations into Europe and possibly the emergence of kissing.
Results of a recent study indicate optimism in older adults can help decrease the negative effects physical limitations may have on life satisfaction.
Co-authored by Texas A&M scientists, new research shows how levels of black carbon and dust are related to climate and monsoons.
A new paper from researchers behind an unprecedented drought experiment at the University of Arizona's Biosphere 2 underscores the importance of molecular compounds often associated with fragrance in identifying when an ecosystem is in distress.
A Texas A&M team is developing an intracavity device that will allow doctors to eliminate leftover cancer cells during surgery, reducing the need for additional treatments such as chemotherapy.
Researchers have developed floating ‘artificial leaves’ that generate clean fuels from sunlight and water, and could eventually operate on a large scale at sea.
New research co-authored by a Texas A&M scientist analyzed placement of stream gauges that inform important global water datasets.
DNA damage caused by factors such as ultraviolet radiation affect nearly three-quarters of all stem cell lines derived from human skin cells, say Cambridge researchers, who argue that whole genome sequencing is essential for confirming if cell lines are usable.
Researchers have designed a machine learning method that can predict the structure of new materials with five times the efficiency of the current standard, removing a key roadblock in developing advanced materials for applications such as energy storage and photovoltaics.
A Texas A&M analysis on the effects of workplace displacement during Hurricane Harvey provides important insights into employee performance while working remotely.
Texas A&M AgriLife algorithms can help producers prevent economic damage.
Texas A&M College of Medicine researchers have answered a major question about how the neocortex develops, offering insights into the underlying causes of intellectual disabilities.
Texas A&M researchers have created a new dataset that quantifies trends of evaporative water loss from 1.4 million global lakes and artificial reservoirs.
New research finds living against our internal body clocks can damage long-term health by altering gut and brain interactions.
Researchers have conducted a new analysis of the origins of ‘bird-hipped’ dinosaurs – the group which includes iconic species such as Triceratops – and found that they likely evolved from a group of animals known as silesaurs, which were first identified two decades ago.
