A new study shows that methane is largely generated in the soils below standing dead trees in so-called ghost forests, or coastal forests that are being killed off by rising sea levels.

A study has thrown doubt on previous measurements using radon to trace groundwater movement.

Researchers have developed a novel approach to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for B-cell cancers that triples the targeted antigens on cancer cells.

A compound from the Brazilian camu-camu berry has been shown to improve immunotherapy response in mice by altering their microbiome.

A follow-up study examining two of the first leukemia patients to be given CAR-T immunotherapy 10 years ago has shown they remain free of cancer cells, leading researchers to declare that they have been cured by the therapy.

Researchers have developed a set of growth charts for the brain that provide reference models for brain development and aging across the entire human lifespan, based on a very large data set.

A future powered by sustainable energy sources could save the world from devastating climate change. But renewable energy has an intermittency problem. What if surplus renewable energy could be stored as computation instead? That’s the thinking behind “information batteries,” proposed in a new paper.

Researchers have fabricated a material for computer components that enable the commercial viability of computers that mimic the human brain.

A study has shown that hepatitis E virus is not completely inactivated by most formulations of alcohol-based disinfectants.

Researchers have found that a monkey’s state of attentiveness may be encoded in the shapes and speeds of slow electrical waves that course over the surface of the brain. Like a surfer that avoids smooth water and favors more active waves, the brain uses faster, choppier waves to process information to which it is paying attention.
