When scientists disabled a single regulatory gene in a species of sea anemone, a stinging cell that shoots a venomous miniature harpoon for hunting and self-defense shifted to shoot a sticky thread that entangles prey instead, according to a new study.
A new study sheds light on unique processes that bestow naked mole-rats with what seems like eternal fertility, findings that could eventually point to new therapies for people.
When two black holes collide into each other to form a new bigger black hole, they violently roil spacetime around them, sending ripples called gravitational waves outward in all directions.
Scanning the first images of a well-known early galaxy taken by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Cornell astronomers were intrigued to see a blob of light near its outer edge.
A small but significant metabolic difference between human and mouse lung tumor cells has been discovered by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, explaining a discrepancy in previous study results and pointing toward new strategies for developing cancer treatments.
Imagine a world with precision medicine, where a swarm of microrobots delivers a payload of medicine directly to ailing cells.
Using Cornell Lab of Ornithology data, a new study finds that birds that have evolved to be more social are less likely to kick other birds off a bird feeder or a perch.
In the threatening trouble of climate change, growing commercial crops on solar farms is a potentially efficient use of agricultural land that can both increase commercial food production and improve solar panel performance and longevity, according to new Cornell research.
A machine learning model used by Yale University researchers has identified various elements associated with a higher risk of physician turnover, a disruptive and costly problem in the healthcare industry.
A new study, from the CDC-funded INSPIRE registry, has found that half of the COVID-19 patients and one-quarter of COVID-negative patients, who had acute COVID-19-like symptoms, tested positive, for at least one symptom, three months later.
A study published in the April issue of "Journal of South American Earth Sciences” presents new insights on the tectono-magmatic history of Los Tuxtlas, in comparison to other similar volcanic complexes in the eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.
Cotton farmers in West Texas could be missing out on increased yields by not applying enough potassium, or K, to their soils, according to recent research.
Some researchers are criticizing publication of scientific findings in the media before the results have been peer reviewed and published in science journals.
A new study shows that full-term infants admitted into neonatal intensive care (NICU) units have an elevated risk of long-term childhood mortality, according to a team of researchers led by Shahar Talisman and Sorina Grisaru Granovsky.
A new study published in the journal Viruses by Open Access MDPI Journals has detailed some of the molecular functions behind the development of severe COVID-19 cases, finding novel chimeric transcripts that fuse to form hybrid genes, which can lead to severe infections.
A new study published in the journal Environmental Communication has found that the terms "carbon emissions" and "carbon pollution" are more effective at communicating the causes and impacts of climate change than the term "greenhouse gas emissions."
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications shows that synthetic production of certain virus vectors could be the key to improving gene therapy.
Scientists have developed a new mouse model with a high clonal barcode diversity for joint lineage, transcriptomic, and epigenomic profiling in single cells, according to a report published by bioRxiv on Jan. 31.
The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) recently agreed to recognize viriforms as a new category of virus-derived genetic elements, viroids and satellite nucleic acids, according to an MDPI article published Feb. 3.
Scientists have revealed and elaborated on the global biomass and population of insects and other arthropods in a research article published by Science Advances in early 2023.
