An estimated ninety percent of deaths from breast cancer are due to complications resulting from metastasis, a process in which cancer cells break away from where they first formed, travel through the blood or lymph circulatory system, and form new, metastatic tumors in other parts of the body.

Scientists at North Carolina State University discovered that ants did not modify their behavior in response to increased temperatures and survived in sub-optimal microhabitats even when ideal ones existed.

Parkinson's disease may start in the gut and spread to the brain, a new study from the University of Surrey suggests.

At the Australian National University (ANU), a new study headed by a research group has described an approach to achieve highly precise measurements of microscopic objects with the help of quantum computers.

A recent study carried out by the University of Vienna, in which the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) participated, discloses that fishes living in the dark part of the oceans (primarily below 200 m depth in the water column) will likely decrease in size as the climate warms, potentially having significant ecological impacts.

The capability of batteries to power microdevices, microrobots, and implanted medical devices has been constrained by the long-standing technological challenge of translating the electrochemical performance of large format batteries to microscale power sources.

The transition to a more sustainable future in terms of energy relies heavily on renewable energy sources.

Scientists from École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have made a partnership with those at Harvard and ETH Zurich. The collaboration is on a new thin-film circuit that, when connected to a laser beam, helps generate finely customizable terahertz-frequency waves.

According to new research from Pennsylvania State University, what occurs above the water’s surface is just as crucial to maintaining the world’s coral reefs as what occurs below it.
