Zebrafish ‘became chubby’ and had higher BMI upon being exposed to compounds.

UCLA researchers devise new method to identify disease markers, a key step toward personalized medicine.

University of Idaho researchers will soon have a new tool for understanding the world at the molecular level, thanks to a grant from the MJ Murdock Charitable Trust and a major gift from a private donor.

Study finds potential for reduced carbon emissions and lower power costs.

Ocean researchers like to say we know less about the Earth’s seas than the moon. With less than 5 percent of the world’s oceans explored, big discoveries await. To find them, University of Rhode Island students are learning to build the next generation of autonomous underwater vehicles, or AUVs, used to map seafloors, study ocean movement, locate sunken objects, research sea life and more.
