Peatlands cover only a small fraction of the planet’s land surface, yet they hold roughly one-quarter of all soil carbon. For centuries, drainage has allowed farmers, foresters, and developers to use...

Boston College researchers have created an electrically controlled “quantum nanocorral” that traps light-emitting particles inside an atomically thin semiconductor, opening a new route toward tunable...
A major question in modern resuscitation medicine is whether the brain can be protected more effectively by keeping cardiac arrest survivors cold for longer. New...

The dodo may have experienced the world in ways that were far more complex than its familiar image as a clumsy, foolish bird suggests. A...
A hidden chemical contest in the intestine may help explain why Salmonella can establish itself so effectively in the mammalian gut. In a study published...
Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, has long been valued as one of the most practical plastics on Earth. Lightweight, durable, inexpensive and resistant to ultraviolet radiation...
A new study is challenging a common assumption in brain chemistry: that fluorescent sensors designed to track dopamine or norepinephrine report only the neurotransmitter they...
Gastric cancer has long presented oncologists with a difficult biological puzzle: two tumors that look similar under a microscope can behave very differently when exposed...
A child born with dextro-transposition of the great arteries can enter the world with a circulation that sends oxygen-poor blood back to the body instead...
Cancer cells are often described as metabolic opportunists: they reshape the way they use nutrients so they can grow rapidly, survive stress and build new...
Lung cancer’s spread to bone is one of the most destructive stages of the disease, often causing severe pain, fractures, spinal cord compression and dangerous...
As college football season approaches, a team of students and recent alumni at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering is undertaking a project that could...
Virginia Tech researchers have developed a chemical process that turns discarded polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, into polyalphaolefin, a high-performance material widely used in lubricants such...
A decade-long international effort has produced the largest publicly available collection of patient-derived cancer organoids to date, giving researchers a powerful new way to study...
A team of researchers has used living human brain tissue to reveal how deep brain stimulation changes the activity of individual brain cells and activates...
