A diamond-based quantum sensor inserted into a living cell can provide previously unseen levels of detail about how life works and how diseases form. "Think of it as an EKG for a single cell—a way to capture everything happening ...

Using a combination of laser cooling techniques and strong magnetic fields, researchers at Colorado State University have for the first time created an ultracold neutral plasma with electrons cooled to temperatures measured ...

Digestion is hard on the cells that line the human gut, and they are constantly being shed and replaced. This renewal is driven by a population of tireless stem cells. These stem cells can both replace the various types of ...

A team of scientists has announced the discovery of Erhaia dijiang, a species of eyeless freshwater cave snail.

USC researchers have developed an approach that uses artificial intelligence to generate detailed maps that highlight differences in how distinct parts of the brain age. The new model also sheds light on how patterns of brain ...

Cells in the brain communicate in different ways. The classical mode involves tight connections between individual cells that signal only to each other. But over the last decade, new tools have allowed scientists to focus ...

In a study led by Jii Kwon and Chun Kee Chung of Seoul National University, researchers explored whether they could recreate melodies from the brain activity of people who imagined how songs continue after listening to a ...

Imagine a typical breakfast: coffee may appear alongside eggs, toast and butter, while fruit, yogurt and whole grains may form another combination. We do not eat foods in isolation. Instead, our diets are made up of interconnected ...

The 2019 heat wave that struck Mo'orea—a volcanic island in French Polynesia—swept through its coral reefs like an invisible wildfire. Colorful, lively corals bleached into ghostly, chalk-white skeletons as soaring ocean ...

An immune pathway has been discovered that prevents a normally harmless fungus from developing into a fatal infection. The King's College London study, published in Nature Microbiology, provides the first potential clue as ...

To study complex diseases like Alzheimer's, scientists and clinicians analyze how genes change and malfunction in other species. Marmosets, a species of tiny monkey from South America, have become an important animal model ...

How can Alzheimer's research be made faster, better and more effective? After decades of intensive research worldwide and despite recent therapeutic advances, scientists have not managed to fully arrest the progress of the ...
