A team of archaeologists from LSU and the University of Texas at Tyler have excavated the earliest known ancient Maya salt works in southern Belize, as reported in the journal Antiquity. The team was ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible.

Researchers have discovered a remarkable new species of sea slug that lives in the deep sea. Nicknamed the 'mystery mollusc,' the nudibranch Bathydevius caudactylus swims through the ocean's midnight ...

Coral larvae reduce their metabolism and increase nitrogen uptake to resist bleaching in high temperatures, according to a new study.

A genomic test developed by researchers to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen -- virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite -- has proved successful after a decade of use.

A research team has shown that that combining pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy drug, with standard chemotherapy can improve treatment outcomes for patients with small cell bladder cancer and small cell ...

When active filaments are exposed to localized illumination, they accumulate into stable structures along the boundaries of the illuminated area. Based on this fact, researchers developed a model that ...

Adding an extra hour every week of physical activity may lower the chance of developing the most common type of irregular heartbeat (arrythmia) by 11%, a study shows.

A team of scientists has used a novel approach to identify protein degraders that target Pin1, a protein involved in pancreatic cancer development. In drug discovery, targeted protein degradation is a ...

Researchers have developed PanoRadar, a new tool to give robots superhuman vision by transforming simple radio waves into detailed, 3D views of the environment.

Their high-fidelity computational model is a milestone both in biology, where it can help explain the octopus's impressive capability, and engineering. "The computational model is a useful testbed for ...

Asthma is associated with memory difficulties in children, and early onset of asthma may exacerbate memory deficits, according to a new study.
