For more than a century, the fruit fly has been a workhorse of the biological sciences that has helped scientists to make fundamental breakthroughs in fields such as genetics and neuroscience. As it turns out, human scientists ...

Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have developed a rechargeable zinc-ion battery that uses low-cost materials and a simplified water-based assembly process to make safer, reliable batteries. The approach ...

The Global Flourishing Study (GFS), the most comprehensive empirical investigation of human flourishing ever undertaken, has made its first two waves of data publicly available through the Center for Open Science at no cost ...

Loneliness plays an important role in the development of suicidal ideation, thoughts of ending one's life, which precedes nearly every suicidal death, according to a study by researchers at Vanderbilt Health. Their findings, ...

A new study has found that metformin, a widely prescribed diabetes drug, may mimic one of exercise's core biological effects in men with prostate cancer, raising levels of a molecule tied to energy balance and weight control ...

It's a simple thing we encounter many times every single week—often while in a hurry. You pull up at a parking spot, scan a QR code and pay within seconds. Or you sit down at a cafe, scan a code to view the menu and order ...
