To minimize the risk of cardiovascular disease, our arteries need to be clear and inflammation-free, and scientists have developed a new technique that uses carbon nanoparticles to fight the buildup of dangerous plaques.
Scientists have recently discovered 14 'skinny' genes that could influence how individuals lost weight in response to exercise.
The earliest cells likely didn't have membranes to separate and protect their components and chemistry away from a harsh surrounding environment. But they may have made do with rain.
Highly reactive complex molecules finding some sort of stability was a necessary step towards life getting started on Earth.
Researchers at ETH Zurich have managed to make sound waves travel only in one direction. In the future, this method could also be used in technical applications with electromagnetic waves.
The prize honors innovation at Google DeepMind and in academia. Three researchers share the award for using machine learning to predict proteins' 3D shapes and design the molecules from scratch.
Humans could also have a mechanism to temporarily slow down the development of an embryo.
Japanese researchers have uncovered inorganic nanostructures around deep-ocean hydrothermal vents that closely resemble key molecules involved in life processes.
John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton won for discoveries that paved the way for the AI boom.
Deep beneath the Earth’s surface, an extraordinary discovery has been made. Microbes — alive and thriving — have been found sealed within a fracture of 2-billion-year-old rock.
This discovery may shed light on new physics, taking us closer to breakthroughs in particle interactions beyond the Standard Model.
Scientists have now identified a strange slice of Earth deep below the Pacific that may explain why this region is currently creating the world's fastest spreading ocean ridge – the East Pacific Rise.
Crinkles and divots in the surface of Earth on Türkiye's Central Anatolian Plateau are the smoking gun for a newly discovered class of plate tectonics.
Bacteria can develop a heightened new sensitivity to acid levels when exposed to different environmental extremes in the laboratory, a new study shows.
At the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, the world's largest particle accelerator, an experiment called ATLAS has just found entanglement in pairs of top quarks: the heaviest particles known to science.
