Snailfish off the coast of Greenland have evolved a clever trick to live in icy water.

The deep sea is filled with creatures adapted to intense environments, and new research describes how biofluorescent snailfish near Greenland...

Superconductors are the key to lossless current flow. However, the realization of superconducting diodes has only recently become an important topic of fundamental research. An international research team of theoretical physicists has now succeeded in reachin…

Embryonic tissue samples also indicate when during pregnancy the pelvis takes shape

Is this the companion to an asteroid that hit Earth 66 million years ago wiping out the dinosaurs?

The soil and water of Mars are normally too harsh for crops, but research led by a then-high school sophomore finds that alfalfa plants and photosynthetic bacteria might help make Martian soil and wat

Mutations in CTNS, the lysosomal cystine-proton symporter, cause cystinosis. Here authors report crystal structures of CTNS from Arabidopsis thaliana in complex with cystine, and establish the mode of ligand recognition and mechanism for proton-coupled cystin…

Iowa State University researchers found alfalfa grows well in a volcanic soil that mimics Martian regolith, and could be turned into fertiliser to help grow turnips, radishes and lettuce.

Lungs are essential to many vertebrates including humans. However, four living amphibian clades have independently eliminated pulmonary respiration and lack lungs, breathing primarily through their wet skin. Little is known of the developmental basis of lung …

Once considered an inert tissue, fat – or adipose tissue – is now known to play an active role in the body's critical functions by secreting hormones that regulate hunger and body temperature.

You can save over $38 on a 1:200 scale model of the actual rocket that stands nearly two feet tall.

Understanding liquid droplet behavior has major implications in coating industry, agriculture, and epidemiology, among others. Although well-studied and extensively researched, the mechanism of droplet splashing after impingement still remains unclear. Now, s…

It is common for young animals, in particular mammals, to play. Researchers have for the first time mapped the development of play in young chickens. The results show that the young chickens spend lots of time playing in different ways -- just like puppies an…

Researchers have developed a novel value chain for production of textile and bio-fuel from fast-growing poplars. By applying sustainable catalysis on these poplars grown on marginal land in Nordic climates, the demand for cotton can be reduced.

Using a mouse model, researchers from Japan uncover the key role of neutrophil extracellular traps in the contact hypersensitivity response.

Nation World News - In a new study, researchers found that the earliest known fruit-eating bird was an ancient bird called Jeholornis that lived 120 million

As promised, Peter Beck is sending a Photon next year. Because he can

A Russian cosmonaut was briefly forced to interrupt a spacewalk after his suit encountered problems.

A mathematical model developed by space medicine experts from The Australian National University (ANU) could be used to predict whether an astronaut can safely

Tesla has lost its Head of Legal, David Searle, who reportedly left his position at the automaker less than a month ago. Searle oversaw an internal purchasing probe during his final days at the company before leaving. Bloomberg, citing three people familiar w…

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 the induction of plant resistance, as well as problems, challenges, …

The Great Barred Galaxy lives up to its name in its Webb image debut.

New research by Flinders University scientists sheds new light on the reasons why two species of dolphins coexist in the northern Australian waters.

Researchers have successfully created electron-photon pairs in a controlled way in an electron microscope.
