A photograph uploaded to iNaturalist may look like an ordinary snapshot of a strange-looking arachnid, but thousands of such images have helped scientists uncover a...

A new study suggests that the brain may not choose between goals in continuous, real-world behaviour as if it were selecting a single option from...

RNA medicines are moving rapidly from experimental therapies toward practical treatments, but one of the field’s biggest obstacles remains the same: getting fragile genetic cargo...

A debate over whether modern science and technology are becoming less disruptive has entered a new phase, with researchers arguing that the apparent decline may...

A small correction to a paper in Nature Aging has drawn renewed attention to a major question in biology: how does aging in the blood-forming...

Cholangiocarcinoma, a cancer arising in the bile ducts, has become an unexpected test of whether precision oncology can deliver on its central promise: matching the...

Synucleinopathies, a group of progressive neurological disorders that includes Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy, may have acquired a new molecular...

Cascade gate-pumping systems rarely attract public attention, yet they quietly perform one of the most energy-intensive jobs in modern water infrastructure: moving enormous volumes of...

A new robotic grasping system has demonstrated a striking ability to move between radically different robot hands without being retrained for each one. Called SpaHybGen,...

Chemical reactions are decided at a fleeting point that molecules occupy only for an instant: the transition state. It is the high-energy configuration through which...

Multiple myeloma has long challenged researchers with a deceptively simple problem: the disease may be diagnosed in one patient, yet it is rarely driven by...

A new study proposes a machine-learning system designed to help factories recover from one of the most disruptive events in modern manufacturing: the sudden failure...

A new study has identified a potentially powerful way to make transonic compressor rotors more stable by reshaping one of the most turbulent regions inside...

A new study suggests that one of the biggest challenges in artificial intelligence—teaching machines to understand science rather than merely recognize patterns—may have a powerful...

Alzheimer’s disease classification is entering a new phase in which artificial intelligence is being asked to detect patterns that may be difficult to recognize through...
