A group of researchers studying the roots of depression has developed a test that leads them closer to the idea that depression may actually be an adaptation meant to help people cope with complex problems such as chronic illnesses or marriage breakups.

A new discovery about the atomic structure of uranium dioxide will help scientists select the best computational model to simulate severe nuclear reactor accidents.

Joint effort will focus on combining the power of light and electron microscopy.

If it were the end of the world as we know it, we’d be fine, according to Michigan Technological University professor Joshua Pearce.

Polarizing filter designed by University of Utah engineers transmits more light.

Catalog of mouse functional genome pinpoints similarities and some significant differences.

A new model suggests volcanic activity in Mars’ distant past spewed enough greenhouse gases to warm the atmosphere and melt the ice.

Patent-pending technology has shown success in disease resistance to wheat streak mosaic virus and triticum mosaic virus, among others.

New research from the University of Copenhagen and Copenhagen University Hospital shows that low blood vitamin D levels increase mortality. The study included 96,000 Danes and was recently published in the distinguished British Medical Journal.

Testing for ovarian cancer or the presence of a particular chemical could be almost as simple as distinguishing an F sharp from a B flat, thanks to a new microscopic acoustic device that has been dramatically improved by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory.

The Mouse ENCODE (ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements) project is building a comprehensive catalog of functional elements in the mouse genome, and is comparing them to those in the human genome.

A team of New York University and University of Barcelona physicists has developed a method to control the movements occurring within magnetic materials, which are used to store and carry information. The breakthrough could simultaneously bolster information processing while reducing the energy necessary to do so.
