Researchers have developed new ink pens that enable the handwriting of optoelectronic devices on nearly any surface.

A study shows that past changes in atmospheric CO2 and corresponding shifts in climate and vegetation played a key role in determining when and where early human species interbred.

A team led by Virginia Tech researchers has developed a new method for upcycling plastics into high-value chemicals known as surfactants, which are used to create soap, detergent and more.

Artificial intelligence could hold the key to feeding 10 billion people by 2050 in the face of climate change and rapidly evolving pests and pathogens according to researchers.

Researchers have devised a pathway for the mass manufacture of sensors that can simultaneously detect lead, mercury and E. coli. in flowing tap water. The team’s innovation promises to help safeguard public health by providing early warning for contamination.

Microscopic plastic particles have been found in the fats and lungs of two-thirds of the marine mammals in a study of ocean microplastics, suggesting that microplastics can travel out of the digestive tract and lodge in the tissues.

Researchers have developed a new technique that could be used to turn low-value waste plastic into high-value products.

Understanding why existing hydrogen fuel cell prototypes degrade can pave the way for more durable cells. Using three novel methods, a research team was able to quickly figure out how stable a platinum-free fuel cell is.

Restaurants can persuade patrons to choose healthier foods by adjusting the font size of numbers attached to nutritional information on menus.

Scientists have embarked on expeditions to some of the world's tallest mountains to sequence a 390-million-year-old moss, revealing it likely isn't evolving fast enough to survive climate change.
