UC San Diego researchers uncover enzyme behind cancer genome chaos, pointing to potential therapies for aggressive tumors.

A revolutionary achievement could pave the way for smaller, more efficient nuclear clocks. Last year, a research team led by UCLA achieved a milestone scientists had pursued for half a century. They s ...

A new chip-scale device offers unprecedented control over laser frequencies, a key ingredient for large-scale quantum computing. Researchers have achieved an important step forward in quantum ...

Researchers from TUM, working at CERN, have made a groundbreaking discovery that reveals how deuterons are formed. Another long-standing question in particle physics has been answered. Scientists ...

Researchers have developed a polymer structure inspired by a classic “Chinese lantern” that can change into more than a dozen curved, three-dimensional shapes when it is compressed or twisted. These ...

Recent observational breakthroughs are beginning to challenge the long-standing view of dark energy as unchanging. Data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument ( DESI ), an advanced survey ...

Researchers have uncovered evidence that Uranus and Neptune could be far rockier on the inside than anyone expected.

Scientists have identified a small flaw in the enzyme GPX4 that prevents neurons from defending themselves. This mutation, found in children with a rare form of early dementia, disrupts a tiny loop ...

Researchers at Washington State University have uncovered evidence that sleep may not be entirely a function of the brain but also the microbes living within us. They discovered that bacterial cell ...

Scientists have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of influenza viruses as they move across and slip inside human ...

Princeton scientists found that the brain uses reusable “cognitive blocks” to create new behaviors quickly.

Researchers at LMU have uncovered how ribosomes, the cell’s protein builders, also act as early warning sensors when ...
