Single-cell transcriptomics is revolutionizing the field of cell biology. This technique enables researchers to analyze the genes expressed in individual cells, which provides more information on the different cell types within tissues compared to bulk transc…

Topological insulators, or TIs, have two faces: Electrons flow freely along their surface edges, like cars on a superhighway, but can't flow through the interior of the material at all. It takes a special set of conditions to create this unique quantum state—…

Hitting a topological insulator with powerful pulses of circularly polarized laser light reveals what its electrons are doing – and how its surface switches f

Troves of sequencing data reveal genes tied to autism through different variant types, providing a more complete picture of the condition’s genetic roots and new clues to its heterogeneity.

The physics of collective motion has been well-studied for the last thirty years. Until now, scientists have focused on the study of "fluid" movements, such as those of flocks of birds or schools of fish. Now, using an ingenious experimental device, researche…

Researchers have published work in Advanced Materials describing a rapid and simple method to form ordered arrays of gold nanoparticles with plasmonic properties.

Recent research regarding a dinosaur nicknamed April, previously housed in the UK's Manchester Museum, has revealed rare new findings.

In the largest study of its kind, US researchers looked at the DNA of 150,000 participants, 20,000 of whom had diagnosed autism.

A Russian spacewalker had to rush back inside the International Space Station on Wednesday when the battery voltage in his spacesuit suddenly dropped.

The first batch of images from the James Webb Telescope has re-invigorated space exploration and the search for galaxies far beyond ours and with Canada's co...

A newly-discovered walking shark that breaks all of the rules for survival is the focus of a first-of-its-kind study that examined differences in walking and sw

Using the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), an international team of astronomers have detected a new accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar. The newfound pulsar, designated MAXI J1816–195, has a spin period of about 1.89 milliseconds. The findin…

The Solar system is constituted of a large number of natural satellites with various sizes and mass, and many of them influence the ambient environment of the Solar planets.

Scientists have teased out the sharp ring of light around the supermassive black hole at the centre...

Recently, scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences summarized recent research progress on defense responses of horticultural crops to fungal pathogens and novel strategies to regulate…

When plants sense environmental challenges such as drought or extended periods of extreme temperatures, they instinctively reprogram their genetic material to survive and even thrive. The…

Astronomers at the Indian Institute of astrophysics have readied a plan to find the first exo-moon that has remained elusive to space and ground-based telescopes.

In a new study, two University of Chicago astrophysicists laid out a method for using pairs of colliding black holes to measure how fast the universe is expanding, and thus understand how the universe evolved, what it is made out of, and where it's going. In …

A study finds that frequent nightmares could be an early warning of Parkinson's Disease. According to experts at the University of Birmingham, older adults who begin to have nightmares or disturbing dreams could be displaying the early symptoms of Parkinson's…
