Pancreatic cancer has long been one of the most formidable opponents in oncology, and a substantial part of its lethality lies not in the cancer...

The vast, unbroken forests of Siberia—among the last great wildernesses on Earth—are being quietly carved apart by roads. According to a new study published in...

In the largest genetic investigation of its kind to date, an international team of researchers has mapped the genetic architecture of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the most...

Pregnancy has long been monitored with a simple blood test and a simple rule: if haemoglobin falls below a fixed threshold, the mother is diagnosed...

When the immune system battles a persistent viral infection, its most important foot soldiers—CD8+ T cells—face a fate decision within days of activation that will...

In a development that could reshape how engineers harvest waste heat, a team of researchers has demonstrated a powerful new form of transverse thermoelectricity in...

For decades, molecular biologists have treated the DNA-binding preferences of transcription factors as one of the more settled chapters of gene regulation. Every textbook diagram...

In the strange world where quantum mechanics bends the rules of matter, few phenomena have captivated physicists as thoroughly as the exciton condensate—a state in...

Researchers have long been captivated by one of the most deceptively simple questions in condensed matter physics: what, exactly, makes a glass a glass? When...

For decades, the dominant architecture of machine vision has kept sensing and computation strictly apart. A camera captures light, converts photons into electrical signals, and...

Genome-wide maps of chromatin interactions have transformed our understanding of how the genetic blueprint is organized inside the cell nucleus, but a fundamental question has...

Chemists have long sought efficient ways to build azabicycloalkanes, a family of nitrogen-containing bridged molecular frameworks that have become indispensable tools in modern drug design....
