A study by University of Michigan researchers is challenging the previous view that "silent" gene mutations are neutral, instead revealing they are likely to be harmful.

To improve electrical performance in the extreme cold, researchers have replaced the traditional graphite anode in a lithium-ion battery with a bumpy carbon-based material, which maintains its rechargeable storage capacity down to -31 F.

Polyphenols – antioxidant compounds found in foods including green tea and dark chocolate – have been shown to prevent inflammation in older people by interacting with the gut microbiome.

Scientists have developed an “e-nose” with porous metal-organic framework films that can accurately distinguish xylene isomer mixtures.

Researchers have created a lab-on-a-chip with a viscoelastic fluid that can separate spherical from elongated bacteria.

Scientists at have discovered a genetic mutation that gives tendons the ability to store more energy, letting mice jump higher and reach faster speeds than usual.

A research team has discovered that a “subtle change” in the structure of sugars that attach to antibodies during pregnancy enables their protection against a wider variety of pathogens.

Researchers have developed a tiny sensor for detecting pesticides on fruit in just a few minutes. The technique uses flame-sprayed nanoparticles made from silver to increase the signal of chemicals.

Scientists have demonstrated how some fast-growing bacteria can resist treatment with antibiotics.

Researchers have now for the first time tested if they can get an overview of plastic particles in urban air by examining cobwebs.
