Steroids are essential molecules for life in all complex organisms such as animals and plants. Researchers have now discovered a new central enzyme in the steroid biosynthesis pathway in some modern o..

The advantage is that electromagnetic light waves oscillate at petaherz frequency. This means that computers in the future could operate at speeds a million times faster than those of today. Scientist..

Increased oil and gas activities could combine with ocean warming and acidification to have a significant negative impact on marine organisms, a new study suggests.

For the first time, physicists have successfully positioned an organic molecule on a substrate realizing two stable configurations. This may have application potential in molecular spintronics.

Our bodies contain two types of fat: white fat and brown fat. While white fat stores calories, brown fat burns energy and could help us lose weight. Now, scientists have found a way of making the whit..

New research demonstrates that consumer-grade drones are effective tools for monitoring marine species across multiple sites in the wild. The work shows that the technology can be a valuable platform ..

Researchers have demonstrated the electromagnetic invisibility of objects using an alternative technique, based on filler cloaking. The novelty lies in achieving invisibility from the interior of the ..

For decades it was assumed that protein channels and protein pumps fulfilled completely different functions and worked independently of each other. Researchers have now elucidated the transport path o..

New research, for the first time using actual income numbers from two generations of Australians, reveals they do not easily move from low-income to high-income bands, however mobility is greater than..

Organic compounds undergo drastic variations in their chemical composition as they transfer from the ocean's surface to atmospheric aerosols which act as nuclei to form clouds.
