A new study published in Science Advances reveals how Bronze Age communities in Central Europe adapted to changing environmental and social conditions by adopting broomcorn millet, a fast-growing, climate-resilient crop.

Unlike an animal cell, a plant cell can't crawl or migrate. It's locked inside a rigid wall, cemented to its neighbors for life. A cell born at the center of a young fruit will still be there when that fruit ripens.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, gives researchers a powerful way to study brain activity. But the scans can be incredibly noisy for patients and research subjects, with peak sound levels reaching 120 to 138 ...

CAR T cell therapy, which involves genetically modifying a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer, is a technique that has shown great promise, especially against blood cancers. But currently, only about 4% of patients ...

Harmful algal blooms pose serious threats to people, animals and the environment. The University of Toledo's Dr. Jeanine Refsnider counts it as a positive discovery that northern map turtles tend to steer clear, as she and ...

Schizophrenia, height, cholesterol. Each has its own genetic signature. That signature is made up of genetic variants: small differences in the DNA sequence that make one person's genome differ from another's. Some traits, ...

Hydrogen fuel cells are a promising clean-energy technology with the potential to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions if widely adopted. As they generate electricity, the only byproduct of their reactions is water. ...

The amount of DNA damage caused by certain chemotherapies used to effectively treat childhood cancer has been revealed, along with a hidden impact on the liver, paving the way for future research into new ways to mitigate ...

AI systems that generate video frame by frame could follow a user's camera commands far more accurately, thanks to a new training method developed by researchers from the University of Surrey and NVIDIA. This improvement ...

The brain is a black box of densely packed neurons, blood vessels and immune cells, all locked away in a sealed skull. WashU's Song Hu has dedicated his career to unlocking that puzzle box by developing new ways to "see" ...

Dogs trained in scent detection may be better at sniffing out the right smell after breakfast, with new research finding hungry dogs working for treats are more likely to falsely identify the wrong scent. The study, led by ...

Using more than 15 years of observations from the Parkes radio telescope, astronomers detected three rotational glitches in the pulsar PSR J1637−4642—a young neutron star that had shown no signs of glitches since its discovery. ...
