the team's overall results suggest that carbon dioxide was a vital ingredient for the emergence of life on Earth – but only when combined with other ingredients.
One case involved a man with cancer who underwent a specialized stem cell transplant; the other involved a woman who received immune-boosting therapies as part of a clinical trial.
The structure, an interlocking form of graphite and diamond, has unique properties that could one day be used to develop super-fast charging or new types of electronics, researchers say.
Chemical engineering has taken a step forward, with international european researchers forcing a single molecule to undergo a series of transformations with a tiny nudge of voltage.
To buy time for weaning ourselves off our fossil fuel addiction, we could simply raise a parasol made of high-tech bubbles over the planet to create a bit of shade.
The planets in our Solar System formed progressively. Small grains grew over time into kilometer-sized planetesimals by accumulating more and more material through their gravitational pull.
Australian researchers have discovered evidence of an approximately four billion-year-old piece of the Earth’s crust that exists beneath the South-West of Western Australia
Physicists say they've found evidence in data from Europe's Large Hadron Collider for three never-before-seen combinations of quarks
Physicists observed a strange new type of behaviour in a magnetic material when it's heated up. The magnetic spins 'freeze' into a static pattern when the temperature rises.
In 'extreme environmental conditions' scientists have discovered 968 species featuring a hugely diverse range of microbes. Excitingly, 82 % of the genomes were novel species.
Physicists have just taken an amazing step towards quantum devices that sound like something out of science fiction.
An experimental cancer-killing virus has been administered to a human patient for the first time, with hopes the testing will ultimately reveal evidence of a new means of successfully fighting cancer tumors in people.
For the first time, an entirely new class of super-reactive chemical compounds has been discovered under atmospheric conditions.Trioxides - an extremely oxidizing chemical compound that likely affects both human health and our global climate.
Forty percent of Europeans have vitamin D insufficiency and so do one billion people world-wide. Now, by using CRISPR technology, scientists have designed a special sun-dried tomato packed to the leaves with vitamin D.
The team of 40 researchers from 27 scientific institutions used studies of 19 populations of wild animals from around the world.
