Researchers, using an experiment that elucidated the function of tens of thousands of noncoding variants, discovered a link between functional mutations and genes linked to cancer pathways, as well as indicators to predict cancer patient survival.

In an effort to understand how and why 2D interfaces take on the structures they do, researchers have developed a method to visualize the thermally-induced rearrangement of 2D materials using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

New research into the most recent Ice Age has helped our understanding of the relationship between CO₂ and global temperature, revealing that the worst-case global warming scenario is "unlikely".

Increased levels of human-made noise in US National Parks could impact mating, habitat patterns and feeding habits of wildlife.

It's not a single pesticide or virus affecting honey bees, they are exposed to a complex web of multiple interacting stressors while pollinating crops.

Using a novel imaging technique to view cells in 3D, researchers have been able to identify two genes that control how melanoma skin cancer cells change shape – offering potential drug targets to prevent the cancer from spreading.

The microbiome's influence on health is well documented and recent studies also suggest that the microbiome may play an important role in aging. Here, we explore some of the latest research on the link between the microbiome and aging.

Decision-makers have been reluctant to invest in wind energy due to a perception that wind farms require a lot of land compared to electric power plants driven by fossil fuels. Research led by McGill University paints a very different picture.

University of Queensland researchers have built a generator that absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) to make electricity. The small, proof-of-concept nanogenerator is carbon negative because it consumes the greenhouse gas.

Human mini-lungs can mimic the response of animals when exposed to certain nanomaterials. Though not expected to replace animal models completely, human organoids could soon lead to significant reductions in research animal numbers.
