A Johns Hopkins University-led team links new organic carbon species in deep fluids to the formation of diamonds — and life itself.

Fear of loss, combined with positive or negative incentives, influences performance.

Improvements were seen within four weeks and generally persisted during treatment duration.

Technique will likely have applications in forensic science and donor organ monitoring.

Using spider toxins to study the proteins that let nerve cells send out electrical signals, Johns Hopkins researchers say they have stumbled upon a biological tactic that may offer a new way to protect crops from insect plagues in a safe and environmentally responsible way.

Important resource for speeding research and diagnostic development.

Work in mice advances potential for nanoparticles to treat brain cancer.

Johns Hopkins computer scientists have found a flaw in the way that secure cloud storage companies protect their customers' data, a weakness they say jeopardizes the privacy protection these digital warehouses claim to offer.

Using a powerful data-crunching technique, Johns Hopkins researchers have sorted out how a protein keeps defective genetic material from gumming up the cellular works. The protein, Dom34, appears to “rescue” protein-making factories called ribosomes when they get stuck obeying defective genetic instructions, the researchers report in the Feb. 27 issue of Cell.

Hopkins researchers improve modeling of movement in 3D environments, which could lead to better understanding of how metastasis occurs.
