Machine learning quickly and accurately identified sugar chains based on electrical signals generated as they passed through tiny holes in a crystal wafer. The technology could reduce the time for sequencing glycosaminog...

Researchers at Skoltech and their colleagues proposed a photonic device from two optical resonators with liquid crystals inside them to study optical properties of this system that can be useful for future generations of...

Saudi Arabia's proposed linear city relies on technology that doesn't exist yet and on a design idea that has failed in the past.

(University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center) MD Anderson's Therapeutics Discovery division and Orionis Biosciences today announced the launch of Project Helios, a new collaboration designed to unlock new drug devel...

(Clemson University) Led by Dr. Yue 'Sophie' Wang, the ambitious project combines robotics and medicine to ensure sterility, quality, safety and efficiency in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The team worked in partnership ...

Attitudes and opinions based on emotion can last a lifetime, a new study reports.

Cells that drive myelin repair become less efficient due to aging. Myelin loss results in cognitive decline and is central to a number of neurodegenerative diseases.

The meteorite likely formed at the same time as the first planets in the solar system.

Quitting smoking can help reduce depression and anxiety within weeks, a new study reports.

Researchers discovered a new, still-unnamed organelle that plays a role in bone metastasis and is formed via liquid-liquid phase separation -- when liquid blobs of living materials merge into each other.

The team believes that evacuation efforts and media coverage of local wildfires may have helped protect residents from adverse health effects of smoke exposure as well as direct impacts of the fires.

Scientists have implicated a type of immune cell in the development of chronic lung disease that sometimes is triggered following a respiratory viral infection. The evidence suggests that activation of this immune cell s...

Multi-tasking, and not the "doorway effect" may be responsible for why we sometimes forget the reason we enter into a room.

Astronomers have found the farthest known source of radio emissions in the universe: a galaxy-swallowing supermassive black hole.

A single head injury can increase the risk of developing dementia, especially in women. Suffering more than one head injury increases the risk further, a new study reports.

A newly developed hydrogel scaffold with regularly spaced pores assists in spinal cell growth and neuron regeneration following spinal cord injury.

People who frequently engage in "persuasive BS" are less able to identify when another person is intentionally misleading them. Researchers say those who frequently mislead others are much more likely to fall for fake ne...

A new sensor can monitor communication within the brain in ways never previously possible. The sensor has already deciphered why some Alzheimer's drugs have limited effectiveness and why patients often regress after stop...

All of us, even physicists, often process information without really knowing what we’re doing --

Somatic gene mutations in brain cells could account for some of the pathology of schizophrenia.

There was a mix-up between patients at his rehabilitation center.

Researchers demonstrated that a new tumor-penetrating therapy could enhance the effects of chemotherapy, reduce the spread of pancreatic cancer and increase survival in animal models.
