(Osaka University) Osaka University researchers prepared a nickel phosphide nanoparticle catalyst on a hydrotalcite support (nano-Ni2P/HT) that showed high activity and selectivity in the hydrogenation of D-glucose to D-...

We know that the ancient Greeks made wine as early as 4300 BC, but a new analysis of preserved seeds suggests grapes were domesticated around 2000 BC

Study sheds new insight into gender disparities in leadership roles. Researchers found men were more likely to supervise more individuals in the workplace, regardless of GPA or the educational achievements of women.

Contrary to popular belief, women with multiple sclerosis may not be at higher risk for complications during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes or still-birth. However, babies of mothers with MS are more likely to b...

This is the first time that a coronavirus vaccine has shown it may reduce the spread of the virus.

Study reveals the role the Gao protein plays in a rare genetic movement disorder often diagnosed during infancy and early childhood.

A team of researchers led by Columbia University has developed a unique platform to program a layered crystal, producing imaging capabilities beyond common limits on demand.

A new book helps researchers screen for potential reading difficulties in young children.

Researchers have identified a pathway in the brain responsible for the development of alcohol addiction.

Post mortem tissue samples of people with depression revealed a lower number of astrocytes in the brain. The findings add to the growing body of literature that implicates astrocytes in depression pathology.

The researchers dissolved polymers and nanoparticles in water, and comingled them at room temperature to solidify a Jello-like substance that - unlike its kitchen counterpart -- did not liquify at higher heat, such as in...

For patients with cancers that do not respond to immunotherapy drugs, adjusting the composition of microorganisms in the intestines -- known as the gut microbiome -- through the use of stool, or fecal, transplants may he...

Researchers have identified a potential way to eradicate the latent HIV infection that lies dormant inside infected immune cells. Studying human immune cells, the researchers showed that such cells have a natural alarm s...

Biologists have developed a computer modeling technique that lets them use cryo-electron microscopy to identify multiple possible structures that a protein can take.

New tools and methods have been described by researchers to study an unusual protein modification and gain fresh insights into its roles in human health and disease. The study - about how certain sugars modify proteins -...

Ultrasound is not only used as an imaging technique but targeted pulses of ultrasound can be used as a highly accurate treatment for a range of brain diseases. A review shows that the new treatments are already on the br...
