Researchers describe a method for coaxing segments of single-stranded DNA into complex 2- and 3D knotted structures.

In research to improve influenza therapies against H7N9 and other influenza strains, researchers have detailed the binding site and mechanism of inhibition for two small-molecule experimental inhibito..

Researchers detail for the first time the scale of threatened species that are unable to be conserved in seed banks. The paper reveals that when looking at threatened species, 36 percent of 'crit..

Discovery of a gene that helps plants control their response to disease could aid efforts to develop crops that are resistant to infection, research suggests.

Using high-powered equipment to analyze air samples, researchers were able to get a detailed look at the molecular makeup of organic aerosols, which have a significant presence in the atmosphere. Posi..

Researchers describe an autonomous system for a fleet of drones to collaboratively search under dense forest canopies. The drones use only onboard computation and wireless communication — no GPS requ..

Combined observations of Comet McNaught — one of the brightest comets visible from Earth in the past 50 years — have revealed new insights on the nature of comets and their relationship with the Sun..

A team of physicists and a virologist explains how large virus shells are formed. Their work can also be used also to explain how large spherical crystals form in nature. This understanding may help r..

Researchers in Belgium have identified an additional inoculation source – the wooden casks or foeders – for producing lambic beers. Traditional lambic beer production takes place through wort inoculat..
