Little research has been conducted into the spread and distribution of fecal bacteria in rivers and, above all, into their input from the surrounding landscape. Researchers have now developed an indic..

New research suggests that bird sperm cells with a spiral or screw-like shape swim faster than straighter sperm — but that the spiral shape also makes them more fragile.

Researchers have discovered a mechanism by which one type of immune cell, CD8+ T cells, can become dysfunctional, impeding its ability to seek and kill cancer cells.

These strange bacteria conduct electricity via a structure never before seen in nature — a structure scientists can co-opt to miniaturize electronics, create powerful-yet-tiny batteries, build pacema..

In the world of racing, the debate on whether women are as fit as men behind the wheel can often become heated. A new study has now demonstrated that women drivers, even with 10 years less experience,..

Two landmark studies provide unprecedented structural insight into how plant immune receptors are primed — and then activated — to provide plants with resistance against microbial pathogens.

New adversarial techniques developed by engineers can make objects 'invisible' to image detection systems that use deep-learning algorithms. These techniques can also trick systems into thin..

Smart phones autocorrect in texting, search engines autocomplete queries, and mapping applications redirect navigation in real-time to avoid slowed traffic. These ubiquitous AI-based technologies adap..

Genes play a role in determining the beauty of a person's face, but that role varies with the person's sex, according to a new study.

Academics have genetically modified yeast cells to help scientists control how they react to their environment in a more desirable way. Yeast was chosen because it shares key characteristics with huma..
