Researchers have uncovered the molecular mechanisms that underlie the memory creation process, revealing the crucial role of saturated fatty acids in the brain’s consolidation of memories.

Research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) sheds new light on how to access the sugars locked up in plants to produce petroleum-free fuels, chemicals, and medicines.

Inspired by the substances secreted by mussels to adhere to rocks, researchers have developed an innovative material to fight against the spread of pathogens, infections and antimicrobial resistance.

Bone regeneration is a complex process, and existing methods face limitations such as the high cost. But recently, a piezoelectric material that can promote the growth of bone tissue has been developed.

Researchers recently developed highly realistic simulations of the proteins on sperm and egg cells coupling together before they fuse. These findings enabled the research team to solve several mysteries of fertilisation at once.

Scientists have developed a new optimization for laser absorption spectroscopy that side-steps previous issues with cross-sensitivity.

Fourteen different types of PFAS have been found in soils at family skiing spots in the Austrian Alps, at levels far higher than in areas not normally used for skiing.

Researchers have captured the world’s first high-resolution images of the initial moments of microtubule formation in human cells.

Millions of tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year. The sun’s ultraviolet light and ocean turbulence break down these plastics into invisible nanoparticles that threaten marine ecosystems.

A snippet of hair can reveal a pregnant person’s stress level and may one day help warn of unexpected birth problems, a study indicates.
