Researchers have discovered that the more urbanized the person, the less cellulose-degrading bacteria found in their gut.

A synthetic material could lower the difficulty and barrier to entry for researchers studying how microorganisms interact with the gastrointestinal system and potentially improve labs' ability to screen drugs that impact gut health.

Sugarcane’s genome is so complex both because it is large and because it contains more copies of chromosomes than a typical plant. Researchers have now developed and combined techniques to create a highly accurate reference genome for sugarcane.

A container of whole milk powder has been discovered after being frozen for 100 years. In a comparative study, researchers have discovered that, despite advancements in selective breeding and changes to farm practices, milk of the past and milk today share more similarities than differences.

A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage in a new battery design by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Researchers have used simulations to determine that a global shift to a healthier, more sustainable diet could be a huge lever to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Researchers have developed an organic photovoltaic film that is both waterproof and flexible, allowing a solar cell to be put onto clothes and still function correctly after being rained on or even washed.

Researchers at AMOLF, in collaboration with partners from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, have realized a new type of metamaterial through which sound waves flow in an unprecedented fashion.

Recognizing personality differences in cattle could help ranchers select herds that best meet grazing needs on rangelands, leading to better animal health and environmental conditions.

Using activity, clinical and genetic data, researchers have discovered that those with a higher genetic risk of obesity need to work out harder than those of moderate or low genetic risk to avoid becoming obese.
