Researchers have designed a prototype of a small, lightweight active "metamaterial" that can control the direction and intensity of energy waves.

Molecular clocks in our cells synchronize our bodies with the cycle of night and day, cue us for sleep and waking, and drive daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology. Scientists studying the molecular mechanisms of our biological clocks have now identified a key event that controls the timing of the clock.

A new sensor has been developed that works in temperatures as high as 900 degrees Celsius or 1,650 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature of the hottest type of lava on Earth and useful in many industries.

Current methods for rapid testing for foodborne pathogens still takes time to figure out who is sick and from where the contaminated product originated. Scientists have now created a novel, system to spot these bacteria before anyone ever falls ill.

A low-cost recyclable powder has been developed that can kill thousands of waterborne bacteria per second when exposed to sunlight, which researchers hope could help populations that don't have access to clean water.

Researchers have developed a solvent-free process to manufacture lithium-ion battery electrodes that are greener, cheaper, and charge faster than electrodes currently on the market.

New research has discovered a Chlamydia-like bacteria in corals of the Great Barrier Reef that could help scientists understand the coral microbiome and its potential impact on coral reef health.

The accuracy of detecting bowel cancer is increased to almost 100 percent by carrying out a common test twice rather than once, a new study shows.

Researchers from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (AMRI) at Monash University find that, towards the end of life, muscles “rejuvenate” to resemble their early-life metabolic state in an animal model of aging.

A team has quantified the plant cell properties in two C4 species, including cell shape, chloroplast size, and distribution of cell-to-cell connections called plasmodesmata.
