Water is everywhere in life, covering most of our planet, making up the majority of our bodies, and forming the stage on which all biology plays out. Yet not all water behaves the same. Most is part of the vast, free-flowing ...

A University of Alberta research team has uncovered a new role for a genetic mutation previously known to be linked to developmental disorders—and it could hold the key to more effective treatments and improved outcomes ...

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences provides scientists with a powerful new tool for monitoring and predicting tectonic activity deep beneath the seafloor at mid-ocean ridges—vast ...

A new study led by researchers at the University of Oregon in collaboration with Google Research has found little evidence linking smartphone use with mental well-being in adults.

The Green Revolution of 1950–1970 helped agriculture flourish around the world. Advances in technology enabled farmers to scale up their production, improving the way they watered and fertilized their crops.

Recent research shows that climatic changes to which bumblebee queens are exposed in their early life stages impair their survival and reproductive abilities, which can also have a negative impact on ecosystems and agriculture.

A study published in Cancer Discovery finds that combining an epigenetic therapy with an anti-PD-1 antibody, which uses the body's natural response to viral infections, shows promising results in patients with relapsed or ...

For billions of years, Earth's continents have remained remarkably stable, forming the foundation for mountains, ecosystems and civilizations. But the secret to their stability has mystified scientists for more than a century. ...

Over a few million years, the spider Dysdera tilosensis—a species endemic to the Canary Islands—has reduced the size of its genome by half during the process of colonization and adaptation to its natural habitat. In addition ...

In a new study using AI and machine learning, EPFL researchers have found that it's not only what we eat, but how consistently we eat it that plays a crucial role in gut health.

Many survey-based studies have been conducted to try to understand how happiness changes over a person's lifetime. While there have been a few different outcomes, the most common has been the U-shaped curve. This pattern ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for their development of new molecular structures that can trap vast quantities of gas inside, laying the groundwork to potentially suck greenhouse gases out of ...
