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

Blue-headed quail doves were once assumed to be most closely related to the doves and pigeons of Central and South America. But keen biologists began noticing it had several unusual features that are ...

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.

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 ...

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

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have found that frequently used antivirals do not work well against the H5N1 avian influenza virus in cows’ milk.

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 ...

By taking two flakes of 2D material and twisting them together, researchers can access unusual properties that could be used to improve quantum computers.

Epithelial cells "talk" to each other with slow electrical signals, and "scream" to their neighbors when injured, new research has discovered.

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 ...
