Researchers improved the efficiency of the CRISPR-Cpf1 gene editing system by incorporating guide RNAs with "multiplexing" capability

A recent discovery by Stanford University scientists could lead to a new, more sustainable way to make ethanol without corn or other crops

Modular, off-grid desalination technology could supply families, towns

Findings help explain how the hungry brain hinders dieting

Strong El Niño played a major role in warming the air above the ice, researchers report

Treatment with molecular decoy may lessen recurrent infections, mouse study shows

Scientists have revealed that certain disease-causing bacteria get their resistance genes in a complex process involving bacterial 'sex'; this can potentially lead to a more targeted effort in preventing the spread of antibiotic resistance

Study uncovers previously unknown genetic-molecular crosstalk

Human interventions to harness water resources, such as reservoirs, dams, and irrigation measures, have increased water availability for much of the global population, but at the same time, swept water scarcity problems downstream

Whitehead Institute researchers have deciphered how one aspect—control of the all-important translation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins—switches as the egg becomes an embryo

The mere existence of genome editing technologies such as CRISPR is not what will advance science

Energy stored in electric vehicles can be used to power large buildings, thanks to ground-breaking research from WMG, University of Warwick
