A research team has come up with a new approach to targeting cancer cells that circumvents a challenge faced by currently available cancer drugs.

Engineers have developed a wearable patch that could provide personalized cooling and heating at home, work, or on the go. The soft, stretchy patch cools or warms a user's skin to a comfortable t..

Recyclable plastics that contain ring-shaped polymers may be a key to developing sustainable synthetic materials. Despite some promising advances, researchers said, a full understanding of how to proc..

A detailed new model of a bacterial secretion system provides directions for developing precisely targeted antibiotics.

Researchers see a blockchain-driven future where cars, homes and appliances can buy and sell digital information.

Columbia Engineering researchers report that they have demonstrated a nearly ideal transistor made from a 2D material stack — with only a two-atom-thick semiconducting layer — by developing a comple..

For the first time, immunologists have captured on video what happens when T-cells undergo a type of assassin-training program before they get unleashed in the body. A new imaging technique that allow..

Metals such as zinc, copper and chromium bind to and influence a peptide involved in insulin production, according to new work. The research is part of a new field of 'metalloendocrinology' ..

Recent research has identified the master switch that triggers the symmetry breaking process in the zygotes of the nematode worm, Caenorhabditis elegans.

A multidisciplinary team has provided new insight into underlying mechanisms controlling the precise size of cells. The researchers found that 'the adder,' a function that guides cells to gr..
