German researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding the origin of the ageing process. They have identified that genes belonging to a process called autophagy promote health and fitness in young worms but drive the process of ageing later in life.
Human travel and shipping is transporting trillions of bacteria around the globe with unexpected effects.
The work holds promise for eco-friendly disposable personal electronics and biomedical devices that dissolve within the body.
Genetic variations linked to various health threats appear less frequently in people with longer lifespans, which suggests that natural selection is at work.
Researches have identified an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fats to long hydrocarbons, which could be used as fuel with no further modification.
Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how mitochondria - the "powerhouses" of human cells - are made.
A great deal of mystery DNA has been found in the human gut.
Researchers hope an artificial womb used to incubate healthy baby lambs can be used in future technology for premature babies.
A potential new state of matter is being reported with research showing that among superconducting materials in high magnetic fields, the phenomenon of electronic symmetry breaking is common.
Researchers at BYU are the first to 3-D print a viable microfluidic device small enough to be effective at a scale much less than 100 micrometers.
Physicists create optical 'wells' for a super-photon for the first time.
Engineers have developed dynamic windows that can switch from transparent to opaque or back again in under a minute and do not degrade over time.
A team of scientists used 20 years of data from several telescopes to watch how three stars orbited the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy, Sagittarius A*. They’ve created a general relativity theory test.
Researchers have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch.
A chance discovery has opened up a new method of finding unknown viruses.
