Scientists have created a much faster way to make certain complex molecules, which are widely used by pharmaceuticals for antibiotics and anti-fungal medicines.
A specimen retrieved from a cupboard of the Natural History Museum in London has shown that modern lizards originated in the Late Triassic and not the Middle Jurassic as previously thought.
Over three quarters of acute NHS trusts in England (77%) do not have a child weight management service, despite being responsible for providing specialist services for the most severely obese, according to a study led by researchers at the University of Bristol and funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
Gene editing was a new idea in the mid-1970s.
Scientists have discovered why some coronaviruses are more likely to cause severe disease, which has remained a mystery, until now.
Ways to curb your environmental impact, regardless of how you shop
The multi-use solar cells are thinner than a human hair.
Pesky quantum behaviors are getting us closer to figuring out quantum gravity.
A new randomised controlled clinical trial, led by the University of Bristol, will investigate whether rapid microbiological 'point-of-care' tests for respiratory infections could reduce antibiotic prescribing in primary care, thanks to funding of £1.6 million by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
The panels generate 18 times more power-per-kilogram than traditional solar technology.
Researchers studying the magnetic behaviour of a cuprate superconductor may have explained some of the unusual properties of their conduction electrons.
Pollinators are less likely to land on flowers sprayed with fertilisers or pesticides as they can detect electric field changes around the flower, researchers at the University of Bristol have found.
The question whether the rise in usage of digital media is contributing to the erosion of democracy is a source of popular debate, with tech companies arguing findings are inconclusive.
The Moon was a lot closer to Earth 2.46 billion years ago, and the shorter distance contributed to shorter days.
New research has shown there continues to be inequities in access to bereavement support in the UK.
Deep under the South Pole sits an icebound forest of wiring called IceCube. It’s no cube: IceCube is a hexagonal formation of kilometer-deep holes in the ice, drilled with hot water and filled with electronics. Its purpose is to pick up flickers of neutrinos—ghostly little particles that often come from space and phase through Earth with hardly a trace.
About 47 million light-years from where you're sitting, the center of a black-hole-laden galaxy named NGC 1068 spits out streams of enigmatic particles. They're neutrinos -- otherwise known as the elusive "ghost particles" haunting our universe while leaving little trace of their existence.
New research has shown an association between sleep quality – less than seven hours - and Alzheimer's disease-related pathology in people without cognitive impairment.
People smoke more when smoking cigarettes from larger size packs, according to new research published in the journal Addiction today [3 November].
Bowel cancer patients could in future benefit from a new 3D bioprinting technology which would use their own cells to replicate the complex cellular environment of solid tumours in 3D models.
