The restricted reservoir of fossils fuels and the accelerating risks of climate change have motivated scientists to develop alternative technologies to synthesize eco-friendly fuels.

The technological significance of ultrashort flashes of light lasting below a quadrillionth of a second is rapidly increasing. In laser sources, groups and pairs of light flashes can be developed instead of separate flashes.

Research illustrates how wildfires and forest burning for agriculture impact rain cloud formation in the Amazon.

People who lived near the Nile river migrated to central Egypt 10,000 years ago, despite the fact that the Egyptian Sahara was still green.

Muscle is known to regenerate through a complex process that involves several steps and relies on stem cells.

Almost all cells regulate their biological processes over a 24-hour period, otherwise called a cell's circadian rhythm. To do so, cells use a biological clock that cycles different genes on and off throughout the day and night. Scientists already know that our metabolic health can suffer when our biological clock breaks down, due to shift work or sleep disorders, for example. However, it's unclear how exactly the biological clock of people with type 2 diabetes differs from healthy people...

A new deep learning algorithm created by researchers from the University of Warwick can pick up the molecular pathways and development of key mutations causing colorectal cancer more accurately than existing methods, meaning patients could benefit from targeted therapies with quicker turnaround times and at a lower cost.

Most everyone understands that a major role of our sense of taste is to inform us when sugar is present in foods and beverages by eliciting sweetness on our tongues. A study led by the Monell Chemical Senses Center, published this month in PLOS ONE, identifies a new human sensory ability to detect sugars in the mouth with a molecular calorie detector, of sorts.

A new survey of 88,125 climate-related studies has revealed that over 99.9% of peer-reviewed scientific papers concur that humans are the major cause of climate change.

​Scientists from the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Tracer Kinetics at Osaka University developed a novel system for targeted cancer radiation therapy that uses gold nanoparticles labeled with astatine-211.
