Flexible wearable electronics may soon become far less vulnerable to winter conditions, thanks to a cellulose-based hydrogel that continues to conduct ionic signals even after...
Scientists have uncovered a molecular sequence that helps cells decide when to begin copying their DNA, revealing how a dormant replication machine is converted into...
A hidden network of plant peptide hormones may be giving legumes a far more sophisticated immune system than scientists previously recognized. In a study published...
Salmonella infections are often associated with contaminated food, but the most dangerous cases begin when the bacterium escapes the intestine and enters the bloodstream or...
A new review in Pediatric Research is drawing attention to one of the most difficult questions in modern neonatal medicine: how to provide safe and...
Acidic soils may have found an unlikely ally: communities of bacteria collected from the very environments that make farming difficult. In a new experimental study,...
Biochar may look like little more than charcoal, but inside its carbon-rich structure it can harbor chemically active species that persist long after production. A...
A new imaging technology developed by researchers at the University of Rochester could make it possible to see more clearly through deep tissue, dense fog,...
A federal health agency that quietly underpins some of the United States’ most important patient-safety protections is facing a crisis that researchers say could reverberate...
COLUMBUS, Ohio—The last common ancestor shared by humans and chimpanzees may have looked less like a modern ape than many scientists have assumed, but it...
SUNY Polytechnic Institute has received a $15,000 grant from the Health Forward Foundation to develop a physiologically realistic mechanical lung model, a project designed to...
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat brain cancers, yet its response to therapy can vary dramatically from one patient to another. A...
Hydrochar, a carbon-rich material made by processing wet plant biomass in hot, pressurized water, may have a hidden defense system that helps it resist chemical...
A large analysis of health records from Catalonia, Spain, has found that people living with severe mental illness face substantially higher recorded rates of dementia...
Engineered living cells are becoming miniature biological factories, capable of producing medicines, sustainable chemicals and other valuable products. They can also be designed to sense...
