For researchers studying how proteins can cause human disease, knowing precisely where proteins are made within cells and tissues could help them learn about their role in disease and come up with new treatments.Now, researchers at MIT and the Broad

"A diamond is forever." That iconic slogan, coined for a highly successful advertising campaign in the 1940s, sold the gemstones as a symbol of eternal commitment and unity.

The Perseid meteor shower, also known as the Perseids, is active every year from mid-July to late August.

Urban infrastructure and natural areas stand in sharp contrast at night on the Mediterranean coast. An astronaut aboard the International Space Station took this mesmerizing nighttime photograph of the coastal Mediterranean city of Antalya, Türkiye. Nighttime…

Recent genomic sequencing has pointed to the presence of diverse and abundant viruses in the sediments and soils of the Earth

Io is a tortured place, teeming with lava.

The spacecraft's jumbo solar arrays were permanently installed on the orbiter in preparation for the journey.

Topology has become a critical factor in the field of modern condensed matter physics and beyond. It explains the way solid materials may possess two distinct and seemingly conflicting characteristics. An example of this is topological insulators, materials w…

In the 19th century, astronomers weren't sure what it was.

The Clytia hemisphaerica jellyfish is not only a hypnotically graceful swimmer, but also an amazing neuron-manufacturing machine with a remarkable ability to expand and regenerate its nervous system.Now, thanks to a prestigious Klingenstein-Simons Fe

Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.In work that combines several new technologies, the researchers cr

Climate change effects usually become clear over decades and centuries, but some alarming changes are looming, scientists fear.

These are the best plants that are tolerant to disease

Thanks to a yellow pigment that filters out sunlight, barreleyes can't be fooled by a common deep-sea camouflage tactic.

In late June, a team of American astrophysicists published a pre-peer-reviewed paper on the net. It claimed that massive “invisible” bosenovas may be occurring all around us all the time.

The recent discovery of the arrowhead holds significant importance, as it marks one of three alien metal objects unearthed in Central Europe.

Researchers have discovered a new stress signaling system that enables bacteria cells to adapt and protect themselves against the immune system and certain antibiotics.An enzyme, RlmN, was observed to directly sense chemical and environmental stresse

Electronic devices typically use the charge of electrons, but spin — their other degree of freedom — is starting to be exploited. Spin defects make crystalline materials highly useful for quantum-based devices such as ultrasensitive quantum sensors,

A signaling protein known as STING is a critical player in the human immune system, detecting signs of danger within cells and then activating a variety of defense mechanisms.STING is primarily on the lookout for DNA, which can indicate either a fore

Engineers are constantly searching for materials with novel, desirable property combinations. For example, an ultra-strong, lightweight material could be used to make airplanes and cars more fuel-efficient, or a material that is porous and biomechani
