Life in the world’s oceans faces far greater change and risk of large-scale extinctions than at any previous time in human history, a team of the world’s leading marine scientists has warned. The researchers have compared events which drove massive ext…
Scientists have demonstrated an automated system that uses artificial intelligence and cutting-edge image processing to rapidly examine large numbers of individual nematodes — a species widely used in biological research.
Scientists have identified a type of E. coli bacteria that may encourage the development of colon cancer.
Northwestern University scientists have connected 250 years of organic chemical knowledge into one giant computer network — a chemical Google on steroids. This “immortal chemist” will never retire and take away its knowledge but instead will continue …
A team headed by Dr. Naoe Hosoda at the National Institute for Materials Science is engaged in research and development of “Future joining technology for reversible interconnection” as an environment-friendly technology.
Scientists have discovered a molecular mechanism by which body temperature rhythms influence the expression of ‘clock genes’ and synchronize local oscillators. This study also demonstrates how the production of DBP, a protein involved in detoxification…
Ethical challenges are central to persistent “critical weaknesses” in the national system for ensuring drug safety, according to a commentary by former Institute of Medicine (IOM) committee members published today in the New England Journal of Medi…
Preemptive cognitive training —- an early intervention to address neuropsychiatric deficiencies —- can help the brain function normally later in life, a team of researchers has found through a series of experiments on laboratory rats. Their finding…
For years, many scientists had thought that plate tectonics existed nowhere in our solar system but on Earth. Now, a researcher has discovered that the geological phenomenon, which involves the movement of huge crustal plates beneath a planet’s surface…
A whole-genome analysis suggests that polar bear numbers waxed and waned with climate change, and that the animals may have interbred with brown bears since becoming a distinct species millions of years ago.
“Green rust” played a key role in making the Earth habitable and may now have an equally important role to play in cleaning it up for the future. Green rust is a highly reactive iron mineral which experts hope could be used to clean up metal pollution …
More than 2 billion years ago, a much fainter sun should have left the Earth as an orbiting ice ball. Why we avoided the deep freeze is a question that has puzzled scientists, but one astronomer might have an answer.
