The autoimmune disease lupus may be triggered by a defective process in the development of red blood cells (RBCs), according to a recent study. The discovery could lead to new methods for classifying and treating patients with this disease.

In 2018, 905 million tons (2.4%) of global carbon dioxide came from commercial aviation. Researchers have now found a way to extend the life of materials used in jet engines.

“Blue” hydrogen – an energy source that involves a process for making hydrogen by using methane in natural gas – is being lauded by many as a clean, green energy to help reduce global warming. But researchers believe it may harm the climate more than burning fossil fuel.

The inheritance of several coat color patterns in dogs has been a topic of debate for decades. Researchers have now clarified how the coat color patterns are genetically controlled.

Researchers have identified a new way to measure how much resistance the DNA helix offers when twisted, information that can potentially shed light on how cells work.

For the first time, researchers have developed a successful approach for identifying proteins inside different types of neurons in the brain of a living animal.

Tiny synthetic particles known as dendrimers avoid detection by our immune system and could help develop a new way to deliver drugs into the body without triggering a reaction.

An energy-saving and potentially carbon-negative desalination process to turn city wastewater into freshwater will be deployed in a research project funded by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

Researchers have developed a singlet oxygen model to calculate how particular chemicals are broken down in surface water with sunlight.

Researchers experimented with different combinations of zwitterionic molecules to produce a solvent that is liquid below 100 °C and very effective at breaking down cellulose. This research may lead to much more cost-effective and safe production of biofuels, such as ethanol from switchgrass or plant husks.
