Physicists are using innovative tools to study the properties of a bizarre class of molecules that may play a role in disease: proteins that cluster together to form spherical droplets inside human ce..

Researchers have determined that it is as safe to give birth after age 50 as age 40 without endangering the mother or the baby.

Researchers have constructed a 'meta-mirror' device capable of perfectly reflecting sound waves in any direction. The proof-of-principle demonstration is analogous to looking directly into a..

Bacteria, plants, insects, or even fish use antifreeze proteins to protect themselves from the cold. The proteins block the growth of ice crystals. In a new study, researchers have confirmed that thes..

A breakthrough in quantum dot technology may one day lead to much more cost-effective infrared cameras — which in turn could enable infrared cameras for common consumer electronics like phones, as we..

Continuous manufacturing is a modern process that promises to enable the pharmaceutical industry to scale operations more easily in order to meet demand and help reduce drug shortages. A new research ..

A new study shows that when it comes to growth, democracy significantly increases development. Indeed, countries switching to democratic rule experience a 20 percent increase in GDP over a 25-year per..

We can't put the whole Milky Way on a scale, but astronomers have been able to come up with one of the most accurate measurements yet of our galaxy's mass, using NASA's Hubble Space Tel..

Researchers have found that the economic impact of the apple industry in New York State is 21 percent larger than traditional models suggest. Researchers used the apple industry as a case study to tes..

Scientists placed small iron oxide particles in an acidic solution, causing a reaction at the surface as iron atoms oxidized. As the reaction progressed, the researchers observed strain that built up ..
