The sea slug Elysia rufescens fights predators by wielding toxic chemicals that it acquires from eating algae. A team has discovered that these chemicals are made by bacteria living inside the algae, ..

A new form of electron microscopy allows researchers to examine nanoscale tubular materials while they are 'alive' and forming liquids — a first in the field.

A study used quantum correlations to make heat flow from a colder to a hotter medium without adding external energy, affording a deeper understanding of the second law of thermodynamics.

Elevated blood pressure in the first trimester of pregnancy, or an increase in blood pressure between the first and second trimesters, raises the chances of a high blood pressure disorder of pregnancy..

Scientists have discovered a pathway that functions like a car wash to prevent the buildup of a toxic protein associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Two Australian studies published this week offer the first proof of a 70-year-old theory of turbulence. Turbulence, with its seemingly random and chaotic motion of the fluid, is a notoriously difficul..

Using cryo-EM, researchers capture how Cdc48, harvested directly from yeast cells, unfolds proteins.

Scientists have developed a new technique that enables them to visualise how well antibiotics against tuberculosis (TB) reach their pathogenic targets inside human hosts.

As you stir milk into a cup of coffee, you will see fluid turbulence in action — rapid mixing that has defied deep scientific understanding. Researchers set out to learn more about the everyday enigm..

Environmentalists in Germany collected 1.75 million signatures for a 'save the bees law.' Citizens believe they can stop insect declines by halting habitat loss and fragmentation, producing ..
