They are hunters, farmers, harvesters, gliders, herders, weavers and carpenters.
A medium-sized sauropod dinosaur inhabited the tropical lowland forested area of the Serranía del Perijá in northern Colombia approximately 175 million years ago, according to a new study by an international team of researchers published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
A hormone secreted by fat cells can restrain the growth of liver tumors in mice, according to a new study from the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute.
When some materials are cooled to a certain temperature, they lose electric resistance, becoming superconductors.
The key to beating the heat is degrading the materials in advance
Cancer cells delete DNA when they go to the dark side, so a team of doctors and engineers targeted the 'backup plans' running critical cell functions
The new approach moves energy efficiently and could reduce energy losses converting light into electricity
Polyurethane locks in the antimicrobial power of tea tree and cinnamon oils. The new technology could start making public spaces safer within a year.
Population genomics compares the genetic variations in DNA within and between specific biological populations, looking at the influence over time of processes like natural selection, genetic drift and other factors.
Open-source software enables researchers to see materials in 3D while they're still on the electron microscope
Most people think termites are a nuisance that consume wood in homes and businesses. But those termites represent less than 4% of all termite species worldwide.
In a rare disease called mucolipidosis type II, people’s hearts and abdomens swell, and their bones grow malformed.
Communities in the Great Lakes region need to start planning now for a future that may include “climate migrants” who leave behind increasingly frequent natural disasters in other parts of the country.
It also triggered a monstrous tsunami with mile-high waves that scoured the ocean floor thousands of miles from the impact site on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, according to a new University of Michigan-led study.
Like many sectors, health care has benefited from the rising use of artificial intelligence, but it has sometimes happened at the expense of minority patients.
The upside is that simple fixes will have a big impact
Changing the epigenetic marks on chromosomes leads to altered gene expression in offspring and in grandoffspring, demonstrating ‘transgenerational epigenetic inheritance’
Supporting emotional connection between a premature baby and parent during the intensive care unit treatment effectively improves the baby’s brain development. The effects are clearly visible in the baby's brain network function and later neurocognitive development.
Researchers have identified a mechanism by which an oncogene commonly activated in cancer patients affects the growth rate of cells. In the future, the findings can help in developing new treatments that could prevent cancer genes from inducing tumor growth.
People accept human nurses overruling patient autonomy and deciding on forced medication, but this trust does not extend to nursing robots.
