Discovery, research, and the expanding frontier of human knowledge.
INSERM researchers identified the calcium signaling cascade that lets tumor cells breach blood vessel walls, pointing to an existing hypertension drug as a potential intervention.
University of Gothenburg researchers identified a bacterial pair that synthesises bioactive serotonin and normalises bowel motility in serotonin-deficient mice.
A single broadband sensor detected nearly every eruption at one of Earth's most active volcanoes over a decade — using a signal nobody was looking for.
A continent-spanning telescope array pinpointed the most powerful fast radio burst on record to a single spiral arm 130 million light-years away.
Gypsum deposits in ancient sand dunes show groundwater seeped through fractures billions of years ago, extending the window for possible microbial life.
Houston Methodist researchers identify TDP-43 as a regulator of DNA mismatch repair, connecting neurodegeneration and cancer through a single molecular mechanism.
A high-resolution ocean simulation shows the Gulf Stream jumping 219 kilometres north roughly 25 years before the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation collapses entirely — and satellite data suggest that shift may have already begun.
Two independent teams demonstrated quantum state transfer between dissimilar semiconductor quantum dots, clearing a key engineering hurdle for practical quantum networks.
University of Tennessee team achieves first measurement of neutron energies in two-neutron emission from exotic nuclei, upending models of heavy element creation.
An international team reports spontaneous trisulfide metathesis — a previously unknown sulfur-sulfur bond exchange that requires no heat, light, or catalysts — with demonstrated applications in cancer drug modification and recyclable plastics.
Scripps Research scientists identified structural changes in three blood proteins that distinguish Alzheimer's stages with over 93% accuracy in direct comparisons.
University of Texas at Austin researchers used symbiotic fungi and worm compost to cultivate a food crop to seed in mixtures of up to 75 percent simulated lunar regolith.
University of Minnesota and Queensland Brain Institute researchers identify matching ATP dysfunction in brain and blood cells of people with major depression.
A Nature Communications study reveals a hidden 'mini metabolism' inside the cell nucleus, with distinct enzyme fingerprints across cancers and tissues.
Researchers identify ferric hydroxysulfate in ancient sulfate deposits near Valles Marineris, suggesting Mars remained thermally active far more recently than assumed.
Shocked minerals and new seismic imaging prove the Silverpit crater was carved by a 160-metre asteroid that triggered a 100-metre tsunami 43 million years ago.
A 298-patient European trial found the epilepsy drug sulthiame reduced breathing interruptions by up to 47 percent in people with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea.
A PET imaging study has provided the first direct evidence in living humans of the molecular mechanism behind ketamine's rapid antidepressant effects.
Engineers fix helium flow seal and prepare to roll SLS rocket back to launch pad for 10-day crewed flyby of the Moon.
The largest 3D map of early-universe hydrogen light reveals hidden galaxies and cosmic structures from 10 billion years ago.
A peer-reviewed study in Geophysical Research Letters reports statistically significant acceleration in warming over the past decade, with the 1.5°C Paris threshold now projected to fall before 2030.
A nearly complete alvarezsaur skeleton published in Nature shows body size reduction preceded ant-eating adaptations by millions of years.
