Scientists have revealed how a population of 'bad' antibodies in the immune system can provide crucial protection against invading microbes.
The warm and salty Southwest Madagascar Coastal Current influences upwelling that supports rich marine ecosystems along the southern coast.
US Scientists managed to identify the gene that caused Alzheimer’s disease. Not only that, but they also managed to neutralize the gene so that it did not lead to Alzheimer’s development.
The success of first harvest, which produced vibrant-looking lettuce, radishes, cucumbers, and other treats, represents a promising test run for similar greenhouses that could one day be built on Mars—or beyond.
Using high-precision cameras mounted to an aerial drone researchers from Scotland captured the volcano in hundreds of aerial photographs to later create a 3D map of the volcano’s surface.
In a review article a prominent scientist calls for more integration between two fields of DNA-based research: genetics and epigenetics.
Physicists have identified a new state of matter whose structural order operates by rules more aligned with quantum mechanics than standard thermodynamic theory.
The drug Larotrectinib, which had no severe side effects, showed “unprecedented” success with certain pediatric tumors, as well as several adult forms of cancer.
Researchers have achieved a breakthrough, inventing a stretchy new material modeled after both squid skin and Hollywood dinosaurs with a property to disappear.
The research led to the identification of two synthetic retinoids, both of which demonstrated the ability to kill MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics.
A team of scientists say the body contains a previously undiscovered network of fluid-filled pockets and collagen underneath the skin that covers most of the body and internal organs.
A tear opens up in Kenya's Rift Valley. Geologists say it will - in a few million years - lead to the continent splitting in two.
Scientists have debated the presence of a plume for years, and if one does exist, it would explain the heat that bubbles to the surface in the park.
Researchers have produced a 'human scale' demonstration of a new phase of matter called quadrupole topological insulators that was recently predicted using theoretical physics.
Editing another essential molecular component of our biology—RNA, the messenger used by cells to turns DNA instructions into proteins— holds great promise.
