Engineers have developed neutrophil 'nanosponges' that can safely absorb and neutralize a variety of proteins that play a role in the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Injections of these..

A new study uses tracking data for 14 species of migratory marine predators, from leatherback turtles to blue whales and white sharks, to show how their movements relate to the geopolitical boundaries..

Researchers showed that long-wavelength terahertz (THz) spectroscopy can detect motion of single molecules, not just molecular ensembles. They used a single-molecule transistor design, where pairs of ..

A new study used semi-artificial photosynthesis to explore new ways to produce and store solar energy. They used natural sunlight to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen using a mixture of biologica..

The Sonoran Desert is one of the world's most biodiverse deserts, thanks to the annual monsoon, which provide a source of moisture in addition to seasonal winter rains. Researchers were able to a..

Scientists have developed a way to see brain cells talk — to actually see neurons communicate in bright, vivid color. The new lab technique is set to provide long-needed answers about the brain and n..

Getting children to eat their food is a challenge for many parents and new research could help. It turns out that children have different preferences for how food should be arranged on the plate to ma..

Traditional statistics have allowed researchers to understand which things — like education, occupation and gender — predict how much a person will earn. Now, in the first study of its kind, researc..

What if social behavior affected the progression of even noncontagious diseases? This is precisely what has now been demonstrated. Using a fly model of intestinal cancer, the researchers have shown th..

A genetic disruption strategy effectively stymies the evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as E. coli, giving scientists a crucial leg up in the ongoing battle against deadly superbugs.
