For decades, scientists have largely relied on painstaking trial and error to coax proteins into crystalline forms. Crystallization enables scientists to determine the molecular structures of proteins, which can provide a ...

As the need for sustainable electric vehicles grows, cobalt-free, high-nickel cathode batteries (such as manganese-coated nickel-core batteries) have emerged as one of the most promising technologies. These batteries increase ...

Over the past few decades, scientists have become increasingly interested in developing materials that do not simply withstand mechanical forces but instead respond to them in useful, detectable ways. For example, it is now ...

As the world's population grows and industry expands, many countries in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia are facing a freshwater scarcity crisis. Finding sustainable ways to produce clean water has become an urgent ...

Forest trees growing in air containing higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) radically change the way they "cycle" nitrogen, a key plant nutrient, with implications for forests as a nature-based climate solution.

There are countless cultures and societies around the world, spanning thousands of years. One thing they all have in common is that death is a part of everybody's life. Examining how different societies commemorate their ...

About a third of children with multiple food allergies gained the ability to safely eat full servings of foods that trigger their allergies in a new Stanford Medicine-led clinical trial. The results were published in JAMA ...

Weather measurements in Leeds have shown that many green spaces, such as parks, gardens and forests, were cooler than surrounding urban environments, also known as gray spaces.

The Neanderthal toolkits found in two Ice Age caves near Le Moustier, in southwestern France, tell a surprising story. Even though the types of rock were very different—large, high-quality flint nodules at Le Moustier and ...

Cancer cells survive by hiding from the immune system's surveillance. A KAIST research team has developed a new anticancer platform that makes cancer cells send out their own danger signals—prompting immune cells to attack—while ...

Specialized cells in the human body make biological trade-offs to perform certain jobs. To support the large, hardworking hearts that power other organs, heart cells have evolved to be extremely efficient and resilient. Because ...

A new Concordia study has demonstrated a greener way to produce an important class of catalytic materials with promising potential for cleaner energy technologies that rely more on acoustic energy than water and chemicals. ...
