The Pro1 protein make the fungus hardier and the release of its conidia favours dispersal in the wild.

The findings illuminate a crucial understanding of the brain's workings, potentially improving the design of brain-controlled prosthetics.

In a multi-generation experiment, researchers from the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) found microbes helped plants cope wit

There's a complex world beneath our feet, teeming with diverse and interdependent life. Plants call out with chemical signals in times of stress, summoning microbes that can unlock bound nutrients and find water in soil pores too small for the finest roots. I…

A flurry of meteors will soon dash across the heavens, a celestial light show that will be followed up by an even more impressive astronomical event in the coming weeks.

Global warming, driven by human activities, is causing the accelerated melting of Greenland ice. The influx of freshwater from melting ice weakens or disrupts the normal sinking of salty water in the AMOC, potentially leading to its collapse, as per a study.

But don't panic — the powerful blazar is located 400 million light years from Earth.

The brain is organized as operators that execute a given function regardless of input senses.

Researchers have created a unique microscopic toolkit of ‘green’ tuneable electrical components, paving the way for a new generation of bioelectronic devices and sensors.The University of Bristol-led study, published today in The Proceedings of the N

A new study uncovers the selective pressures driving the evolution of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and how they control bacteria in the host’s microbiome.

Luckily, you can easily resolve this latter setback with one common household tool. To prevent your ground beef from turning soggy, it is your new best friend.

A planet way bigger than Jupiter has just been discovered, and its makeup may be cloudy with a chance of cotton candy.

The composition of an unusual meteorite suggests that it formed on Earth, spent thousands of years in space, then reentered the atmosphere. But some experts disagree.

Galaxies grow and evolve over billions of years by absorbing nearby companions and merging with other galaxies. The early stages of this galactic growth process are showcased in a new image taken with the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Dark Energy Camera (DE…
