A new study is bringing artificial intelligence into the fight against one of the most persistent visual signatures of industrial pollution: the deep orange color...

Oklahoma’s winter wheat fields may be influenced by an invisible biological network beneath the soil, according to a new study in Scientific Reports. Researchers D....

A new study suggests that imagining movement with both an ordinary human thumb and an additional robotic thumb may do more than exercise the mind:...

A new study in Nature Communications reports that tropical processes have repeatedly driven major changes in monsoon strength across the past 3.5 million years, revealing...

A molecular switch best known for helping cells respond to DNA damage may also be driving the burning, electric and persistent pain that follows nerve...

Plants cannot flee when their bodies begin to weaken. Instead, they must detect structural damage, identify its source and rapidly redirect growth. A new study...

A vast slab of oceanic crust can plunge beneath a continent, disappear into Earth’s mantle, and still shape where volcanoes erupt millions of years later....

A hidden layer of the silkworm genome has now been mapped in unprecedented detail, revealing a surprisingly stable but evolutionarily active landscape of repetitive DNA....

A new study suggests that the wandering mind may be far less disconnected from the outside world than it appears. Even when people drift away...

A new study published in Nature Communications presents a genome-wide map of the genetic signals that influence protein levels in human skin, offering a more...

Earthquakes along oceanic transform faults have long been treated as relatively straightforward events: two sections of seafloor slide horizontally past one another, releasing accumulated tectonic...

Colorectal cancer is often treatable when detected early, yet its danger changes dramatically once malignant cells escape the intestine and establish colonies in distant organs....
