Languages and human DNA both capture aspects of human diversity. But how are they related? A new international study led by the University of Zurich finds a clear but counterintuitive pattern: regions with high genetic diversity ...

A deadly outbreak of the rare hantavirus unfolded over the course of weeks on a cruise ship that sailed from Argentina toward Antarctica and then across the Atlantic Ocean, stopping at or near remote islands on the way as ...

About 75 years ago, scientists accidentally synthesized a compound called ferrocene in which the iron (Fe) atom is sandwiched between two C5H5 rings—(C5H5)Fe(C5H5). This compound opened up a new era in transition metal chemistry, ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have successfully treated children aged 1–3 years with peanut allergies. The children slowly became accustomed to eating peanuts by consuming small amounts of them daily, which were gradually ...

Chronic neuropathic pain remains one of the most challenging conditions to treat, with current therapies offering limited benefit and being over-reliant on opioids. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), along ...

All-perovskite tandem solar cells are promising candidates for next-generation photovoltaics, as they harvest sunlight more efficiently than single-junction devices and can be fabricated through low-temperature solution processing. ...

It's a fundamental principle of science: Correlation does not equal causation. Every cancer cell has genetic mutations, but not all of those mutations necessarily drive the cancer.

When part of a mountain in southeast Alaska slid into the ocean last summer, it triggered the second highest tsunami ever recorded. That tsunami ran 481 meters—one-and-a-half times the height of the Eiffel Tower—up the wall ...

A study has found that an emerging class of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs suppresses eating for pleasure, or hedonic feeding, in mice by modulating a reward circuit deep within the brain. This newly charted pathway—separate from ...

It's tough to avoid the current hype about the health benefits of injecting peptides. Although these substances—essentially, synthetic bits of protein in solution—have long made the rounds in the fitness world, their popularity ...

Many hydrogen strategies for energy-intensive industries do not adequately address geopolitical risks. Instead, they often assume stable trading relationships and reliable alliances—assumptions which are increasingly questionable ...

QIMR Berghofer scientists have developed an AI screening tool that harnesses the power of cutting-edge spatial biology analysis to give pathologists "super vision" to detect hidden genetic markers of cancer in standard patient ...
