Hidden mechanisms in extracellular DNA spotted by researchers at Aarhus University enable dormant viruses to become ...

Bo Xiong uses engineered noise and AI tools to expand the multiplexing capabilities of ultrathin optical structures called ...

A positive feedback loop may have driven carbon sequestration within the deep Pacific and shaped a cooling climate over millions of years. Over the past 4.5 million years, the Earth’s climate cooled, ...

In temperate forests, canopy trees shape understory herb diversity through the fungal partnerships they make Beneath the forest floor, fungal partnerships help to determine which plants thrive above.

Hongbian Li shares her experience as a reviewer, shifting to industry, and on translating materials research into real-world applications, After spending years in academia studying carbon ...

Self-powered, entirely biological constructs injected with neural precursor cells reveal the surprising flexibility of nervous systems. The notion of “adapt or die” is an underlying principle of ...

Surface reconstructions complicate the separation of structural effects from intrinsic electronic physics in CeB6. For decades, scientists have relied on surface-sensitive measurements to understand ...

“Both biological and digital vision convert light into electrical signals through light-sensitive elements—the retina in the eye and image sensors in cameras,” write a research team from Italy led by ...

Extra dimensions at the microscale could be tested experimentally within 3-5 years. Our universe may be hiding extra dimensions just beyond the reach of current experiments — and they could be the key ...

Wearable sensors help women analyse menstrual blood for affordable, non-invasive health monitoring. Every month, around 1.8 billion people menstruate, generating a largely overlooked source of health ...

A new theory proposes gravity isn’t a fundamental force but emerges from quantum electromagnetic interactions, potentially reshaping our view of spacetime itself. A fresh look at gravity challenges ...
