A team have used a forensic approach to reconstruct injuries by examining bone bruises on the knees of 15 men and 15 women with torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL). This showed while women are two to four times more likely than men to tear the ACL in their knee, the cause of this injury is no different between the sexes.

Using revolutionary forensic scanning technology and world-class expertise, researchers have discovered surprising evidence that the Oxford Dodo was shot in the neck and back of the head with a shotgun.

Certain types of RNA are implicated in the production of pro-breast cancer proteins. Now, a new study has shed light on the mechanism by which these RNAs manipulate DNA to produce these proteins.

Target-based screening has been the method of choice in drug discovery for the past two decades, but phenotypic screening is having something of a renaissance. We look at the advantages and applications of both.

To unravel the mysteries of the cosmos, a team at Durham University is using an ambitious open-source project, dubbed EAGLE-XL, that aims to simulate our entire universe in a level of detail never attempted before.

Improved access to clean and safe drinking water is key for health and survival and has been classified as a human right. Here, we take a look at some of the novel solutions, both hi-tech and low-tech, that scientists are designing to help monitor drinking water source safety.
