A new study by MARVEL researchers describes an unexpected "rule" followed by about 60 per cent of electronic structures included in large databases of computational and experimental materials: their primitive unit cells are made out of multiples of four atoms.

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, researchers found that intravenous therapies made from virus-specific T-cells (VST) can effectively treat immunocompromised pediatric patients, far surpassing the current standard of care.

Scientists and engineers have developed a new coating for plastic particles that are used in 3D printing, which significantly increases their functionality and opens up new possibilities for commercial application.

Researchers, using an experiment that elucidated the function of tens of thousands of noncoding variants, discovered a link between functional mutations and genes linked to cancer pathways, as well as indicators to predict cancer patient survival.

In an effort to understand how and why 2D interfaces take on the structures they do, researchers have developed a method to visualize the thermally-induced rearrangement of 2D materials using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

New research into the most recent Ice Age has helped our understanding of the relationship between CO₂ and global temperature, revealing that the worst-case global warming scenario is "unlikely".

Increased levels of human-made noise in US National Parks could impact mating, habitat patterns and feeding habits of wildlife.

It's not a single pesticide or virus affecting honey bees, they are exposed to a complex web of multiple interacting stressors while pollinating crops.

Using a novel imaging technique to view cells in 3D, researchers have been able to identify two genes that control how melanoma skin cancer cells change shape – offering potential drug targets to prevent the cancer from spreading.

The microbiome's influence on health is well documented and recent studies also suggest that the microbiome may play an important role in aging. Here, we explore some of the latest research on the link between the microbiome and aging.
