Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help shape those signals. Scientists discovered that tissue stiffness can ...

Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence, scientists at the UC Davis USDA-NIFA AI Institute for Next Generation Food Systems are connecting the dots of 80 years of scientific publishing to shed ...

Chalk up another victory for “Conan the Bacterium”—a rugged germ that fresh research suggests could conquer the solar system.

A ring of 13 carbon atoms and two chlorine atoms has a remarkable molecular structure that means you would have to go around the loop four times to return to your starting position ...

Researchers designed CAR T cells that locally release VEGF-blocking molecules, weakening tumor defenses and boosting immune attack. The therapy slowed tumor growth and improved survival in cancer ...

In this article, we highlight how Moms in Proteomics, a global community, is helping scientists who are parents balance research and family life, build networks, and advocate for systemic changes to ...

Using a synchrotron powered CT scanner, the Antscan project created an open-source digital library cataloguing thousands of ...

The mandatory diversity quota in the Netherlands means that considerably more women are on the supervisory boards of listed companies. This is evident ...

For more than a decade, Evan Economo's lab has been using micro-CT machines to scan insect specimens. The resulting X-ray images help researchers study the form and structure of insects—a subfield of ...

The Antscan database captures the tiny insects’ diversity and shows how the world’s living things could be rendered in three dimensions.

Scientists have used a laser technique to analyze Charles Darwin’s original Galápagos specimens without opening their nearly ...

Plant biologist Molly Edwards started a science communication business called Science IRL to showcase the exciting and curious side of science.
