Organic solar cells are made from conductive polymers, which makes them cheap, light, and flexible. However, one drawback is that their efficiency lags behind the best silicon devices—but this may soon change—as researchers ...

Bird flu viruses are a particular threat to humans because they can replicate at temperatures higher than a typical fever, one of the body's ways of stopping viruses in their tracks, according to new research led by the universities ...

Modern Chileans are significantly taller and have larger heads than their ancestors. That's the central finding of new research looking at how intracranial volume (ICV) has changed across thousands of years in northern Chile. ...

Regulatory T cells (Treg cells), a specialized type of immune cell, are usually seen as "peacekeepers" that prevent excessive immune attacks. Surprisingly, a new study published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy ...

After years studying wild birds in the bush, Flinders University experts have described a new call type frequently used by one of Australia's favorite birds, the superb fairy-wren.

Engineers and obstetricians at Monash University have invented a wearable Band-Aid-like patch to track a baby's movements through the mother's abdomen, offering a new way to support safer pregnancies from home.

Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is the condition responsible for seasonal allergies or allergic reactions to other environmental allergens, like dust mites and animal dander. Estimates vary, but somewhere around ...

In spaces smaller than a wavelength of light, electric currents jump from point to point and magnetic fields corkscrew through atomic lattices in ways that defy intuition. Scientists have only ever dreamed of observing these ...

In humans, CBD is thought to have therapeutic effects for some conditions including chronic pain, nausea, or inflammation. Now, dogs may be reaping some of the benefits, too, according to a new study.

In the animal kingdom, penises can be spiked, split, corkscrewed—even detachable. They're one of the most diverse structures in biology. The human penis is so uniform, it's an anatomical outlier. Understanding why penises ...

An injection that blocks the activity of a protein involved in aging reverses naturally occurring cartilage loss in the knee joints of old mice, a Stanford Medicine-led study has found. The treatment also prevented the development ...

For decades, physicists have dreamed of a quantum internet: a planetary web of ultrasecure communications and super-powered computation built not from electrical signals, but from the ghostly connections between particles ...
