Fish just want to have fun, according to a University of Tennessee, Knoxville, study that finds even fish 'play.'

Request for proposals aims to identify promising research projects involving precious samples.

Researchers uncovered a new class of lipids in humans that is linked to reduced inflammation and improved blood sugar levels in diabetes.

Alcohol consumption isn’t the only thing a breath analysis can reveal. Scientists have been studying its possible use for diagnosing a wide range of conditions in humans — and now in the beloved bottlenose dolphin. In a report in the American Chemical Society (ACS) journal Analytical Chemistry, one team describes a new instrument that can analyze the metabolites in breath from dolphins, which have been dying in alarming numbers along the Atlantic coast this year.

Researchers from Columbia Engineering and the Georgia Institute of Technology have reported the first experimental observation of piezoelectricity and the piezotronic effect in an atomically thin material, molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), resulting in a unique electric generator and mechanosensation devices that are optically transparent, extremely light, and very bendable and stretchable.

Comprehensive analysis shows that natural gas could displace both coal and low-emitting energy sources over the long term.

Crucial steps and surprising structures revealed in the genesis of the enzyme that divides the DNA double helix during cell replication.

Crystallographic texture plays an important role in determining a material’s physical and mechanical properties

The pharmaceutical industry has withdrawn from the ‘antibiotic space.’ Is it time for research universities to step in?

A fly’s sense of smell could be used in new technology to detect drugs and bombs, new University of Sussex research has found.

Lake Erie has become increasingly susceptible to large blooms of toxin-producing cyanobacteria since 2002, potentially complicating efforts to rein in the problem in the wake of this year's Toledo drinking water crisis, according to a new study led by University of Michigan researchers.
