Astronomers at Lund University in Sweden have found evidence of exocomets – comets in other solar systems – orbiting a young star similar to our Sun. The observations point to a possible mechanism for ...

The study found in murkier water fish took longer to move towards the food than those in clear water, but individuals in larger groups responded more quickly overall. Stickleback fish can change their ...

Photomultiplier tubes inside the LZ detector are designed to capture faint flashes of light that could signal a dark matter interaction. For the better part of a century, people have been trying to ...

New research from the University of St Andrews has developed a novel theory of how firelight was critical to the evolution of sophisticated storytelling. In a paper published today (2 September) in ...

New research shows that eating a more diverse range of plants - including fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices - on a weekly basis may be associated with better gut and metabolic health, ...

Glycopeptide preparation is a critical step in bottom-up glycoproteomics. This study evaluated a streamlined and cost-effective method for N-glycopeptide preparation using commercially available ...

Researchers at Princeton engineering have created a semiconductor with unique properties: it is just a few molecules thick and can repeatedly change its properties in response to light. This is a step ...

Chemically enhanced suppressor tRNAs combined with a lung-targeted delivery system can restore production of a critical protein in models of cystic fibrosis caused by nonsense mutations, according to ...

Participant taking part in a sleep study. The brain may “tag” experiences during learning to better consolidate the memory of them during sleep, according to a study published August 27 th in the open ...
