Red blood cells may hold the secret to fighting diabetes—by soaking up sugar when oxygen runs low. People who live high in the mountains have long been observed to develop diabetes less often than ...

Under this new model, Titan itself is the result of a collision between two earlier moons: a large body called “Proto-Titan,” nearly as massive as modern Titan, and a smaller companion dubbed ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new way to read Majorana qubits, highly stable but notoriously difficult-to-measure quantum bits, using a global quantum capacitance probe.

Observations of a distant quasar reveal that supermassive black holes may suppress star formation across intergalactic distances.

A new blood test could predict when Alzheimer’s will strike — years before symptoms begin. Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have created a way to estimate when a ...

A sweeping international study of more than 3,100 long COVID patients has uncovered a striking global divide in brain-related symptoms.

Researchers have uncovered a new way to attack lymphoma by targeting a non-catalytic region of a key regulatory enzyme, rather than its traditional active site. Researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive ...

A long-standing chemistry challenge has been solved with the synthesis of a five-atom silicon aromatic ring. The breakthrough validates decades of theory and points toward new industrially relevant ...

The researchers also challenge the long-held belief that movement variability should be eliminated. What some coaches have viewed as inconsistency is described in the paper as a crucial factor in long ...

Experiments reveal that unsaturated lipid membranes promote vesicle fusion and DNA retention during freeze–thaw cycles, highlighting icy environments as potential drivers of protocell evolution. Today ...

More than 2,500 alien plant species could find suitable conditions in the Arctic, especially in northern Norway and Svalbard.

The team of researchers led by Prof. Kristian Franze found that increasing tissue stiffness induces the expression of chemical signals that are typically absent in those regions. Semaphorin 3A is one ...
