Quantum physicists have created a new phase of matter inside a diamond. Their new "time quasicrystal" is special as it is ...

New research challenges the classical interpretation of cell competition, revealing the importance of mechanical force.

A sensor based on metal-organic framework (MOF) materials could be a rapid detection option for warning of nerve gas exposure ...

A team of neuroscientists from the University of Vienna has published brain scan evidence demonstrating that exposure to nature can reduce pain. The research is available in Nature Communications.

New analysis suggests that Fiji iguanas landed on the Pacific islands after voyaging 5,000 miles from the western coast of North America.

Researchers uncover new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a protein that regulates RNA-induced immune responses. Their findings could open new pathways for treating autoimmune diseases ...

Researchers discovered that Zika virus constructs nanotubes to transport infection across the placental barrier undetected. The viral protein NS1 triggers this process, allowing Zika to spread while ...

Researchers find that tumor stem cells became less able to proliferate and invade tissues when gene editing blocked the production of the prion protein; the results suggest that the molecule could be ...

A Stanford-led study finds that brain organization for visual recognition is partly innate but also shaped by experience. Using MRI on infants, researchers identified stable white matter connections ...

Insights into the fundamental process of how the heart is formed offer new hope for treating heart disease. The findings focus on long, thin, channels of membranes – called Tunneling Nanotube-Like ...

On first inspection, the Cuban blue-headed quail dove doesn’t look like much: drab brown feathers, a slender beak, a pronounced strut in their walk typical of most other doves. You’d be forgiven for ...

Machine learning can predict which adolescents with HIV will be less likely to adhere to therapy. With such knowledge, healthcare practitioners could implement interventions for those identified as ...
