A new multi-drone imaging system was put to the test in Antarctica. The task? Documenting a colony of roughly 1 million Adélie penguins.
The scientists are optimistic that their data could help communities hit hardest by the pandemic
Researchers in Spain and Luxembourg recently proposed a computational method for reconstructing gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from gene expression data to infer cellular identity.
Researchers say they've figured out how the 'uncrushable' beetle withstands incredibly high pressure
Researchers at the University of Iowa have discovered a surprising new way to treat Type 2 diabetes using static magnetic and electric fields.
An asteroid, not volcanoes, is to blame for the mass extermination of non-avian dinosaurs more than 60 million years ago, according to a recent study.
A June 2020 study published in Ecology and Evolution suggests that bird mortality rates caused by collisions with wind turbines may have been underestimated.
Neuroscientists have for decades thought that much of how humans experience movement, vision and thinking is operated by a very small portion of our brains, called the cerebellum.
An international research team discovered that a mathematically optimal model could predict the development pathway of a fruit fly (Drosophila) embryo and found that the embryo's decoding of gap gene expression data in its development closely approximates that of their optimal theoretical model.
Charles Darwin’s famed theory on atoll evolution is flawed, a pair of scientists argue in a new paper.
As of September, the United States has hit $16 billion in disasters, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Over the summer, the Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering launched a study to determine how events such as climate disasters, oil spills, and long-term environmental changes are affecting environmental restoration projects in the Gulf of Mexico.
German researchers announced the mechanism in August for what might be the world's oldest cellular "respiration."
High-resolution images of structures in the inner ear, produced by X-ray crystallography, were used by Ohio State University researchers to simulate for the first time in detail the actions of tip link filaments.
New research has found that the male-specific Y (chrY) chromosome can affect other cells in the body in addition to those related to reproduction.
The human sperm’s tail whips in a single direction as it swims, but with the head spinning at the same time the sperm avoids moving in circles, researchers from the University of Bristol and Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico have discovered.
Based on studies in the United States and Afghanistan, scientists recently published a paper showing that belief in a higher power is directly influenced by the keenness of a person’s implicit ability to perceive patterns.
Lymphocytes, white blood cells crucial to the body's immune system, can swim, according to new research by a team of researchers from various French universities.
Officials of the National Academy of Engineering Medicine said it’s too early to tell if veterans suffering from respiratory problems acquired the problems during service in Iraq and Afghanistan from open burn pits, diesel exhaust and other carcinogens during the Gulf War and later conflicts.
Scientists appear to have cracked the conundrum of how the highly toxic positively charged ammonium ion (NH4+) manages to be transported across a hydrophobic membrane into and out of cells.
