As newly reported by the journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, researchers from the Graduate School of Science at Osaka City University have developed a quantum algorithm that can understand the electronic states ...

The physicists at CERN still rely on tape for the long-term storage of data from the LHC, because it is more reliable and cheaper than hard discs or flash storage

The variant was first detected in Colombia in January 2021.

Researchers have developed an online tool to help medical staff quickly determine which COVID-19 patients will need help breathing with a ventilator. The tool, developed through analysis of CT scans from nearly 900 COVID...

A team of researchers has identified a novel mechanism by which loss-of-function mutations in the gene PTPN2, found in many patients with inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, affect how intestinal epithelial cells maintai...

It has been a mystery why some people live a perfectly normal life until experiencing a potentially deadly cardiac episode. Now, researchers present a possible explanation in a microscopic modification of a protein, whic...

Researchers have shown that certain immune cells, which are found in people previously exposed to common cold coronaviruses, enhance the body's immune response to SARS-CoV-2, both during natural infection and following v...

A study of a geographically, clinically, and socioeconomically diverse, nationally-representative sample of US households -- including both adult patients and caregivers of children with food allergy -- found that 72 per...

A new study shows CAR T cells expressing RN7SL1 can activate the body's natural immune cells against difficult-to-treat cancers.

A new analysis suggests that, in order to boost freedoms and protect against overwhelming new waves of COVID-19, the pace at which restrictions to reduce spread are lifted must be directly tied to the pace of vaccination...

Medical researchers report that melanoma formation depends on something called 'oncogenic competence,' which is the result of a collaboration between the DNA mutations in a cell and the particular set of genes that are t...

Rhesus macaques naturally exposed to wildfire smoke early in pregnancy had an increased rate of miscarriage, according to new research.

When you've acted in an uncooperative or untrustworthy way, the way you smile could either help heal or hinder social relationships. Those whose smiles reflected reward, or a signal that they were happy, or a smile of do...

Study reveals individual differences in how we perceive and imagine visual images we have seen.

Researchers reveal the neurobiological basis of why we often find it more difficult to find the right words as we age.

The function of the opioid system is connected to eating triggered by external stimuli. The findings could lead to the development of new therapies that target the opioid system to reduce obesity.

New experiments using trapped one-dimensional gases--atoms cooled to the coldest temperatures in the universe and confined so that they can only move in a line--fit with the predictions of the recently developed theory o...

When a neutron star or a black hole ploughs through a massive star, it can force the star to explode in a type of supernova that has now been observed for the first time

The extreme cold snap that left millions without power in Texas early this year may have been made more likely due to melting Arctic sea ice, according to a scientific model

A genetic study of eight dog breeds including German shepherds and golden retrievers found that cavalier King Charles spaniels had the highest number of potentially harmful mutations

Following periods of acute isolation, female mice display a strong desire to socialize with other females by significantly increasing their production of social calls that are much like human emotional vocalizations. The...
