Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) regulates gene expression programs that influence cellular differentiation and insulin sensitization in response to ligand binding. The discovery in 1995 that PPARγ is a molecular…

A giant reservoir of “secret” fresh water off the East Coast that could potentially supply a city the size of New York City for 800 years may have formed during the last ice age, when the region was covered in glaciers, researchers…

Scientists tracking Earth’s water from space discovered that El Niño and La Niña are synchronizing floods and droughts across continents, according to a new study published in AGU Advances by the University of Texas at Austin.

Electrons’ orbital angular momentum could help create energy-efficient, low-power magnetic devices. These orbital currents usually come from 3d transition-metal magnets. They are generated either by an applied electric field or by changes in…

Scientists have infected bacteria with a virus aboard the International Space Station to see how they would interact in microgravity, and the results were surprising. Without gravity-inspired mixing of viral and bacterial cultures, the rate of…

Astronomers have observed the effects of a rapidly spinning black hole twisting the motion of matter around it, a result widely interpreted by cosmologists as consistent with a century-old prediction of Einstein’s general theory of…
