A team of researchers at Texas A&M University has developed a new class of biomaterial inks that mimic native characteristics of highly conductive human tissue, much like skin, which are essential for the ink to be used in 3D printing.

New research from Flinders University has shown how two different species of dolphins are living harmoniously and us humans should take notes.

An international team of researchers has found a strain of cyanobacteria that could produce biomass on Mars and grow food for astronauts!

A team has uncovered surprising mechanical behaviors of the nucleus. For years, the nucleus within a cell was thought to be elastic like a rubber ball, deforming and snapping back into shape as the cell navigated through pores and between fibers inside the hu…

Underwater snow forms in the World Ocean and travels through the water to connect to submerged valleys and inverted ice caps, according to new research.

T cells are our immune system's customised tools for fighting infectious diseases and tumor cells. On their surface, these special white blood cells carry a receptor that recognizes antigens. With the help of cryo-electron microscopy, biochemists and structur…

Researchers report an experimental demonstration of a space-to-ground quantum key distribution (QKD) network using a compact QKD terminal aboard the Chinese Space Lab Tiangong-2 and four ground stations. The demonstration represents an important step toward p…

Researchers used circularly polarized laser light to systematically probe the phase transition in which a topological insulator (TI) loses its quantum properties and becomes an ordinary insulator. The spiraling laser light generated harmonics -- much like the…

This image was taken by Front Hazard Avoidance Camera (Front Hazcam) onboard NASA's Mars rover Curiosity on Sol 3565.

We thank Adam Koon and colleagues for their comments on our Series paper.1 They offer some thoughtful critiques of the paper and of framing research more broadly. Their argument on diversity in framing theory is especially valuable.

For centuries scientists have asked why large animals burn less energy and require less food than small ones. The answer may be evolution.

The approximately 10-foot-diameter (3-meter-diameter) HGA will beam back information from Europa Clipper’s nine instruments, which will gather data on Europa’s atmosphere, surface, and interior.

A newly developed statistical method is able to disentangle signals relayed between brain areas, even when the communication between the brain areas is bidirectional.

The Monkey Puzzle is just one of 8,000 tree species facing the threat of extinction in the wild.

Three natural compounds present in foods like green tea, olive oil and red wine are promising candidates for the development of drugs against the coronavirus. In a comprehensive screening of a large library of natural substances at DESY's X-ray source PETRA I…

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NASA has selected four mission proposals submitted to the agency's Explorers Program for further study. The proposals...

Some extrasolar debris belts are not just eccentric but also surprisingly narrow. What processes can influence the width of debris belts?

The powerful eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai underwater volcano rocked the island nation of Tonga on January 15, 2022. The spectacular 13-mile-wide explosion is the largest recorded in the 21st century thus far. It expelled ash and gas plumes as hig…

Scientists may learn more clues about the extinction of dinosaurs after discovering a large asteroid crater off the coast of west Africa.

The analysis of low-intensity human-caused microearthquakes, including their magnitude and frequency, has become an important factor in mining. This is a consideration not only for the safety of mining staff, but also for extraction rates and mine stability t…

By harnessing the capabilities of the 8.1-meter Gemini South telescope in Chile, which is part of the International Gemini Observatory operated by NSF's NOIRLab, astronomers have obtained the sharpest image ever of the star R136a1, the most massive known star…

We might be peering into the Milky Way's future.

Violent ripples reverberating across space-time might finally reveal how quickly our universe is expanding.

Some might seem familiar, others might warrant a longer stare.

Blue-green algae are thriving in warmer-than-normal waters this summer.
