New technique allows scientists to track proteins known to create memories.

A team of scientists has identified the complex process by which materials are shaped and ultimately dissolved by surrounding water currents. The study, conducted by researchers at New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Florida State University, appears in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics.

Smaller, lighter electric car batteries that don't have to sacrifice longevity to be petite could be one benefit of basic research into lithium-ion battery nanomaterials at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH).

Compounds in red wine improve fat burning, especially in the liver, and may improve overall liver function

Research actually provides further support for Darwin, UCLA professor says.

As many places in the U.S. and Europe increasingly turn to biomass rather than fossil fuels for power and heat, scientists are focusing on what this trend might mean for air quality — and people's health.

Analysis shows certain crystal boundaries can enhance, or reduce, hydrogen’s damaging effects.

New research finds new link between these biological clocks and lung disease.

Sample transport is an important part of a successful laboratory operation, vital to accurate analysis.

This spring, Missouri University of Science and Technology is offering its first fully online section of a biology laboratory class using an at-home lab kit. Students can perform “wet” laboratory experiments, hands-on chemical-based work in open-air areas, and follow provided instructions for biological course work.

Ethanol-producing Zymomonas mobilis can live on nitrogen gas, potentially cutting costs and environmental waste in biofuel production.

The flow of federal research funding to Brown University is only now starting to recover from the 2013 federal sequestration. As a result of the sequester, the total pool of research funds at the University decreased by 13.7 percent between 2013 and 2014, said Vice President for Research David Savitz, but funding for new research proposals in the first half of fiscal year 2015 is up significantly — about 30 percent — from 2014.
