Engineers have developed a spring-like device that could be used as a basic skeleton for almost any muscle-bound robot, which maximizes the amount of movement from a muscle.

Imagine switching on a light and being able to understand and control the inner dynamics of a cell. By shining lights of different colors on replicates of cells, researchers altered the interactions between cellular elements.

A new UNSW-led international study, published today in Nature Geoscience, assessed the levels of PFAS contamination in surface and ground water around the globe.

Bacterial populations can remain stable on factory floors despite cleaning efforts in ready-to-eat food production facilities, reports new research.

Researchers from WHOI studied the microbes in coral reef water by examining eight reefs in the U.S. Virgin Islands over a period of seven years, which included periods of hurricane and coral disease disturbance.

In a recent study, researchers found that 78% of the world’s bird species do not thrive in the most modified human-dominated environments.

Composite polymer particles adorned with gold nanoparticles could improve the accuracy of infectious disease testing, reports a new study.

The active ingredient in many drugs is what’s known as a small molecule: bigger than water, much smaller than an antibody and mainly made of carbon. Scripps scientists have uncovered a potential cost-effective way to produce these tricky motifs.

A new study explains the impacts coral reef disturbances like hurricanes have on the microbes that recycle organic matter and nutrients.

With marine heatwaves of varying severity identified in Australian waters over the summer, a new study of a remote coral reef in the north-west has found that they can recover from bleaching events caused by heatwaves.
