Atherosclerosis has long been framed as a plumbing problem: cholesterol builds up, inflammation smolders, and arteries stiffen until heart attacks or strokes follow. Statins transformed this picture ...

Even further back, however, in 1781, Italian microscopist Felice Fontana already described nerve cells as having “uniform and simple cylinders,” which is the basis for how axons have been described ...

Physicists have experimentally reconstructed the quantum probability distribution of an exciton for the first time using ...

Asgard archaea, our closest known microbial relatives, play a key role in current models of the origin of more complex organisms, known as eukaryotes ...

As hydrogen infrastructure expands, existing material-qualification frameworks must keep pace with hydrogen-specific ...

Chlamydia organise their genetic material with the help of lipids. This is shown by a new study from the University of ...

Antibiotic resistance has become one of the defining medical challenges of the century, and researchers are increasingly ...

Chlamydia organise their genetic material with the help of lipids. This is shown by a new study from the University of Würzburg. This unexpected alliance could change our current understanding of how ...

Recent work from researchers at Washington University in St. Louis found that polarized light patterns can improve how ...

The process is known as proton-coupled electron transfer, or PCET. It involves the coordinated movement of positively charged ...
