Megacities are often portrayed as the ultimate challenge of the clean-energy transition: vast populations, dense construction, round-the-clock commerce and transportation, and electricity demand that can...

A new study published in Nature Communications examines how the immune system controls viral infections in the brain without allowing the defensive response itself to...

Oxide semiconductor transistors could be on the verge of a major technological breakthrough after researchers introduced a digital twin platform designed to solve one of...

A new pilot study of high school students in New Jersey is drawing attention to an increasingly visible intersection of adolescent health, beauty culture and...

KAIST researchers have developed a semiconductor neuron that turns one of electronics’ most troublesome imperfections—electrical noise—into a controllable tool for processing information. Instead of suppressing...

A new study suggests that imagining movement with both an ordinary human thumb and an additional robotic thumb may do more than exercise the mind:...

A molecular switch best known for helping cells respond to DNA damage may also be driving the burning, electric and persistent pain that follows nerve...

Plants cannot flee when their bodies begin to weaken. Instead, they must detect structural damage, identify its source and rapidly redirect growth. A new study...

A hidden layer of the silkworm genome has now been mapped in unprecedented detail, revealing a surprisingly stable but evolutionarily active landscape of repetitive DNA....

A new study published in Nature Communications presents a genome-wide map of the genetic signals that influence protein levels in human skin, offering a more...

Colorectal cancer is often treatable when detected early, yet its danger changes dramatically once malignant cells escape the intestine and establish colonies in distant organs....

Advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers are receiving renewed attention after researchers reported a clinical study testing a three-part first-line treatment strategy that combines immunotherapy,...

Mercury, a metal associated with industrial pollution, neurological damage and kidney disease, has resurfaced in an unexpected place: products sold for brighter, smoother-looking skin. A...

A new proteomic study in mice is opening a detailed window onto one of the least visible stages of reproductive biology: the earliest period of...

In a discovery that could reshape scientists’ understanding of how photosynthetic organisms capture carbon, researchers have rebuilt a working version of the pyrenoid outside a...
