A silicon surface with a series of tiny spikes that damage and kill viruses upon contact has been shown to be 96% effective.

New research demonstrates a new class of hydrogels that can form not just outside cells, but also inside of them. The team created these hydrogels from protein building blocks designed using a computer to form a specific structure.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health observed rapid and distinct immune system changes in a small study of people who switched to a vegan or a ketogenic (also called keto) diet.

A spatial model that predicts pesticide exposure in bees has revealed that bees are at more risk from the threat of agricultural pesticides when they are sprayed near hives.

Edible, inexpensive plant proteins could be used to grow cultivated meat with layers of "fat" and "muscle" that produce meat-like textures.

As sea levels rise due to global warming, ecosystems are being altered. Scientists believed that the tidal wetlands found in estuaries might produce less methane. However, researchers indicate that these assumptions aren’t always true.

Data gathered using software developed by Johns Hopkins University computer scientists will have 'huge implications' for understanding human health and evolution

Artificial intelligence using neural networks performs calculations digitally with the help of microelectronic chips. Physicists have now created a type of neural network that works not with electricity but with so-called active colloidal particles.

Enzymes typically found in laundry detergent could be used to chemically recycle single-use bioplastics, such as those found in coffee cups and food containers.

A team has developed a new self-assembly method to fabricate multilayered 2D nanosheets. A nanosheet is an extremely small, lasagna-like material made of ultrathin layers of polymers and nanoparticles.
