Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug ...

While microplastic pollution continues to advance, research into its possible effects on health remains hampered by technical ...

Cell division is a process of remarkable precision: during each cycle, the genetic material must be evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. To achieve this, duplicated chromosomes, known as ...

Researchers from Skoltech, the University of Potsdam, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a fundamental physical law that governs the seemingly chaotic motion of chromosomes ...

Humans can detect buried objects without touching them, sensing faint pressure ripples in sand. This seventh sense is called ...

How cyanobacteria use a flexible protein to protect themselves from sunlight—and what it could mean for crops and solar tech.

While microplastic pollution continues to advance, research into its possible effects on health remains hampered by technical ...

Using chemical processes, scientists have manipulated the phase boundaries of lead-based ferroelectric materials to create higher performance and smaller devices.

The University of Oxford is part of a £15.9 million UK-wide programme to develop human tumour tissue models, improving cancer ...

Researchers at UT Austin have created artificial membrane channels that mimic nature’s precision to selectively extract key ...

Scientists have discovered that the body can naturally dull pain through its own localized “benzodiazepine-like” peptides. A groundbreaking study led by a University of Leeds scientist has unveiled ...
