Plants show enormous variety in traits relevant to breeding, such as plant height, yield and resistance to pests. One of the greatest challenges in modern plant research is to identify the differences in genetic information that are responsible for this varia…

Fulton County Jail staff raised concerns over Lashawn Thompson's cell conditions and his health before his death, records show.

According to recent research done by Cornell University, humidity has an equal role as aroma in luring pollinators to a plant. This finding advances basic biology and creates new opportunities for agriculture.

Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) shows the effects of climate change are lengthening allergy seasons by increasing pollen concentrations.

DNA is widely recognized as the blueprint for life, and it is required for an organism to assist biological functions. DNA may be damaged by a variety of

The rocky world, dubbed LP 791-18 d, orbits a red dwarf star about 90 light-years from Earth. It's both slightly larger and slightly more massive than Earth,...

When the Arecibo Telescope collapsed in 2020, astronomers lost one of the world's most powerful radio telescopes. A team of astronomers wants to resurrect the mighty telescope with the Next Generation Arecibo Telescope.

The planet Mars keeps fascinating both scientists and space fans. The Red Planet has left scientists astounded once again. Some startling revelations have been made by tremors occurring on Mars. A massive marsquake was measured by NASA's InSight lander. Accor…

From its humble origin(s), life has infected the entire planet with endless beautiful forms. The genesis of life is the oldest biological event, so old that no clear evidence was left behind other than the existence of life itself. This leaves many questions …

Raman imaging offers a greater potential for detecting multiple enzyme activities than fluorescence imaging, demonstrate Tokyo Tech researchers by developing 9CN-rhodol-based activatable Raman probes using a novel mechanism for Raman signal activatio

Mechanically responsive molecular crystals are extremely useful in soft robotics, which requires a versatile actuation technology. Crystals driven by the photothermal effect are particularly promising for achieving high-speed actuation. However, the

Astronomers have witnessed the most powerful supernova on record, which could provide insight into the forces that shape galaxies.

Machine learning can more accurately predict ocean currents • Earth.com

When it comes to the issue of climate change, naysayers often contend that we have an incomplete understanding of the Earth’s systems. While humanity is yet to uncover all the secrets of the …

Joro spiders have spread all over Georgia and its neighboring states, but they don't owe their success to a combative nature — quite the opposite, in fact.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to see it.

Past, current, and future approaches are very different when it comes to Lunar time.

Researchers in Spain identified a new dinosaur species after looking at the jawbone and vertebrae from a fossil at the Arcillas de Morella Formation.

Using a pioneering experimental approach of mechanical manipulation under fluorescence, researchers from Tokyo Tech unveil the elusive origin of the observed green emission band in single polyfluorene chain. Based on simultaneous atomic force microsc

Researchers at Stanford University have developed digital skin that can convert sensations such as heat and pressure to electrical signals that can be read by electrodes implanted in the human brain.

The dinosaur stood on its hind legs and captured prey with its hands.

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test​ (DART) was recognized by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) with the organization's newest award — the AIAA Award for Aerospace Excellence — at the AIAA Awards Gala, Thursday, May 18, at the …

Better understanding the formation of swirling, ring-shaped disturbances—known as vortex rings—could help nuclear fusion researchers compress fuel more efficiently, bringing it closer to becoming a viable energy source.

Argentine paleontologists have discovered the remains of a gigantic new species of long-necked herbivorous dinosaur in the country's southern Patagonia region, saying the beast ranks as one of the largest ever discovered.

Most cases of gram-negative bacillary meningitis occur in neonates and infants. Meningitis in adults caused by Proteus mirabilis has been reported rarely. Evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of adult patients with gram-negative bacillus meningitis are…
