Infrastructure development and other human-made changes have already fragmented or disrupted two-thirds of Earth's longest rivers. Dams and reservoirs are the leading contributors to connectivity..
Researchers have found, analyzing data from the Gaia satellite, that a strong star formation burst occurred in the Milky Way about 2 to 3 billion years ago. In this process, more than 50 percent of th..
Close genetic analysis of 480 blue mallee eucalyptus plants provides clues to modify cultivars for greater yield, whether for essential oils or jet fuel.
Researchers have succeeded in creating a 'protein cage' — a nanoscale structure that could be used to deliver drugs to specific places of the body — that can be readily assembled and disas..
Caregivers need only 'get it right' 50 percent of the time when responding to babies' need for attachment to have a positive impact on a baby, new research finds.
For over 100 years, scientists have sought to understand what links a person's general intelligence, health and aging. In a new study, a scientist suggests a model where mitochondria, or small en..
Researchers used single-cell sequencing to identify a protein expressed uniquely by insulin-producing beta cells created from stem cells in the laboratory. By targeting the protein and adding a physic..
Researchers have come up with a novel way to classify proteins and their shapes, which lays the foundation of how we understand protein structures and functions.
A new, open-road test of adaptive cruise control demonstrated that the feature, designed to make driving easier by continuously adjusting a vehicle's speed in response to the car ahead, doesn..
Scientists have succeeded in developing a piece of hardware which could pave the way for creating computers resembling the human brain. They produced a chip containing a network of artificial neurons ..
