Researchers at Tulane University, with a team of colleagues from eight other universities, have discovered a new nerve cell signaling mechanism that could transform our understanding of pain and lead to safer, more effective…

The “swarm” of tens of thousands of earthquakes near the Greek island of Santorini earlier this year was triggered by molten rock pumping through an underground channel over three months, scientists have discovered.

They used physics and…

Researchers in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School have just opened a new window into understanding the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

The work not only reveals principles of evolutionary biology…

For the first time, scientists have built a digital version of the Milky Way that follows the motion of individual stars, not blurry clumps.

The project combines artificial intelligence with leading supercomputers to watch our galaxy change over…

Significant shifts in wind patterns increased global carbon stores and could hold the key to understanding today’s changing climate

A major shift in temperature and wind more than 20,000 years ago sparked…

The science of the origin of life is on the threshold of a new era. A team of researchers led by Robert Hazen has developed an artificial intelligence system that can detect traces of ancient life in rocks, even if the molecules…

Cancer research, drug safety testing and ageing biology may all gain a major boost from a new fluorescent sensor developed at Utrecht University. This new tool allows scientists to watch DNA damage and repair unfold in real time…
