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…

Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope with data from ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), two team of astronomers have captured a mid-infrared image of a system of four serpentine spirals of dust around two aging Wolf-Rayet stars in…

Over the course of billions of years, the Universe has steadily been evolving. Thanks to the expansion of the Universe, we are able to “see” back in time to watch that evolution, almost from the beginning.

But every once in a while, we see…

Human beings are pretty familiar with the concept of “ice ages.” Not only is their ample physical evidence to suggest that glacial periods occurred during the Pleistocene epoch – which lasted from ca. 2.58 million to 11,700 years ago,…
