Humans don't exactly rest in peace after death, as a study shows bodies move around significantly for more than a year after death. These findings could have implications for detectives and pathologists around the world.

Regular tea drinkers have better organised brain regions – and this is associated with healthy cognitive function – compared to non-tea drinkers.

Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine scientists have fine-tuned their delivery system to deliver a DNA editing tool to alter DNA sequences and modify gene function. The improved "hit and run" system works faster and is more efficient.

Scientists have directly observed and recorded in animal cells a pathway called branching microtubule nucleation, a mechanism in cell division that had been imaged in cellular extracts and plant cells but not directly observed in animal cells.

In a patient-based study, researchers have found evidence to suggest postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) could be an autoimmune disease.

The latest analytical techniques available to scientists are being used to confirm the validity of historical artifacts and claims in some cases, and suggest a need for reconsideration in others.

Pregnant women who are exposed to higher air pollution levels during their second pregnancy, compared to their first one, may be at greater risk of preterm birth.

Scientist report that they have leveraged the principles behind radiative sky cooling, when moisture condenses on surfaces overnight, to develop an innovative way to produce renewable energy at night.

An evolution revolution has begun after scientists extracted genetic information from a 1.77 million-year-old rhino tooth - the largest genetic data set this old to ever be confidently recorded.

Researchers have taken an accurate census count of bacteria residing in the guts of healthy volunteers. The information will help to characterize the relationship between gut bacteria and human disease.
