A collaborative project at The University of New Mexico will receive part of $17.6 million in grants the Department of Defense is awarding to 27 collaborative academic teams under the Defense Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research...

A team of researchers from Hiroshima University has discovered a molecule that promotes the production of cancer cells. This molecule may prove to be a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive form of breast cancer.

<p>To study how Zika virus proteins hijack and disrupt host developmental pathways during infection and disease progression, Dr. Shinya Yamamoto, assistant professor at Baylor College of Medicine and principal investigator at the <a href="http://www.nri.texaschildrens.org/">Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute</a>, Dr. Nichole Link, assistant professor at the University of Utah, and colleagues have generated a toolkit of transgenic flies express...

Pryor Cashman filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, weighing in on the issue of limiting standing to sue by foreign beneficiaries of U.S. charities.

Opinion: If patents come with the risk that government could step in, that would hurt a lot more than Arizona's groundbreaking university research.

Our sense of direction is essential to our ability to navigate the world around us. It acts as the brain's internal compass to help us find our way and, just as importantly, to prompt us to change course when we're heading in the wrong direction.

ASCII characters (reading "NanoProbe Grp. NIMS") encoded in binary (i.e., using two digits: 0 and 1) in a series of one-dimensional molecular arra ...

A study in fruit flies reveals how the brain’s compass and steering regions make course corrections

<p>An international research team led by NIMS, the Osaka University Graduate School of Science and the Kanazawa University Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) has succeeded for the first time in controlling the chirality of individual molecules through structural isomerization. The team also succeeded in synthesizing highly reactive diradicals with two unpaired electrons. These achievements were made using a scanning tunneling microscope probe at low temperatures.</p>
