In a discovery shaped by more than a decade of steady, incremental effort rather than a dramatic breakthrough, scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and their collaborators demonstrated that great ideas ...

In a study of nearly 1,000 consecutive patients treated for lung cancer at Northwestern Medicine, researchers discovered only 35% would have qualified for screening, according to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) ...

In most narratives, the story of evolution is the story of organisms emerging from the ocean and eventually populating the land. But for some species, that evolution also involved a return trip. Dozens of major mammal and ...

Researchers have uncovered how successful chromosome segregation during sexual reproduction is achieved in plants. The discovery, by scientists led by the University of Leicester, could be beneficial for both plant breeding ...

Dysfunctional mitochondria, organelles that serve as cellular power generators, appear to cause the symptoms of Gulf War illness (GWI) among tens of thousands of veterans of the Persian Gulf War, UT Southwestern Medical Center ...

At the cellular level, the mechanics of how muscle tissue repair occurs gets complicated. There are significant differences between, say, tearing a muscle in a sports injury versus muscle tissue wasting away from diseases ...

When conditions get too dry, Madagascar hissing cockroaches like to "cuddle." Under certain conditions, the large insects gather in groups, with many participants in physical contact with one another. According to recent ...

University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have shown that reducing chronic inflammation can significantly protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-like pathology in preclinical models. The findings ...

The reed leafhopper (Pentastiridius leporinus) was originally a specialist, limited exclusively to reed grass as a food source. Within a few years, however, it developed into a dangerous pest that attacks not only reed grass ...

When ultraviolet light hits ice—whether in Earth's polar regions or on distant planets—it triggers a cascade of chemical reactions that have puzzled scientists for decades.

By studying the theoretical limits of how light can be used to perform computation, Cornell researchers have uncovered new insights and strategies for designing energy-efficient optical computing systems.

Although existing CRISPR-Cas-based imaging methods can target endogenous genomic sequences, their applications are limited by system complexity and sensitivity, particularly when imaging non-repetitive loci, performing multi-locus ...
