3D Deep Neural Network Precisely Reconstructs Freely-Behaving Animal’s Movements Animals are constantly moving and behaving in response to instructions from the brain. But while there…
Raindrops Also Keep Fallin’ on Exoplanets One day, humankind may step foot on another habitable planet. That planet may look very different from Earth, but…
Research finds EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas production. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is underestimating methane emissions from oil and gas production…
Researchers design a new highly-selective tool to study “undruggable” proteins through the sugars they depend on. Sugar has been called “evil,” “toxic,” and “poison.” But…
There is no stronger risk factor for cancer than age. At the time of diagnosis, the median age of patients across all cancers is 66….
Researchers overturn the long-standing hypothesis that mammal ancestors moved like modern lizards and discover there is much more to the evolution of the mammal backbone….
It was tens of miles wide and forever changed history when it crashed into Earth about 66 million years ago. The Chicxulub impactor, as it’s…
In 2018, the physics world was set ablaze with the discovery that when an ultrathin layer of carbon, called graphene, is stacked and twisted to…
When tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates) began to move from water to land roughly 390 million years ago it set in motion the rise of lizards, birds,…
It’s hard to overstate how much of a game-changer it was when vertebrates first rose up from the waters and moved onshore about 390 million…
Researchers take a closer look at the genomes of microbial communities in the human mouth. Bacteria often show very strong biogeography — some bacteria are…
When most people think of ferocious, blade-like teeth on prehistoric creatures they picture Smilodon, better known as the saber-toothed tiger. But in the world of dinosaurs,…
The water-to-land transition is one of the most important and inspiring major transitions in vertebrate evolution. And the question of how and when tetrapods transitioned…
High-resolution, 3D images of human chromosomes in single cells reveal how DNA structure might influence its function. In high school textbooks, human chromosomes are pictured…
The Zoonomia Project has released this vast dataset to advance both biomedical research and biodiversity conservation. An international team of researchers with an effort called…
Bioinspired architecture could pave the way for stronger, lighter structures. When we think about sponges, we tend to think of something soft and squishy. But…
New study shows evidence of nonhuman animals selecting who they socialize during aging. No new friends and no drama. When humans age, they tend to…
