New studies show how scientists have honed a technique for handling tiny, soft particles using precisely controlled fluid flows that act as gentle microscopic hands

UNC School of Medicine scientists led by Eva Anton, PhD, found that defective primary cilia can modulate connectivity between neurons during brain development and cause rare neurodevelopmental conditions called Joubert syndrome-related disorders

In just the last four years, tuning non-fullerene acceptors chemistry has boosted organic photovoltaic technology from initially converting only one percent of sunlight into electricity to 18 percent conversion in recent experiments

A recent study is the first to look at where chemicals in plastic end up after being broken down in a natural system—a yellow mealworm's gut, in this case

Computer algorithms disassemble prey capture behavior of zebrafish into its components

Since rice is so important to feeding a large portion of the world's population, the identification of genes that enhance grain yield and composition is much desired

New research from Chalmers University of Technology and Umeå University, both in Sweden, show that the choice of preparation method influences the health effects of coffee

Although coastal wetlands cover only about two percent of the ocean surface, they are estimated to sequester more than 50 percent of the carbon captured by the ocean per year

Recent research examined more than 49,000 manuscript and 76,000 peer review online submissions to The BMJ and The BMJ Open, measuring whether the submissions were made on weekends, national holidays, or late at night
