Researchers have revealed how a high-fat changes our mitochondria, reducing their capacity to burn fat, pinpointing the single gene involved in this process.

A UCLA-led research team has shown that fragments of the coronavirus may drive inflammation by mimicking the action of specific immune molecules in the body.

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.

Growing cells must maintain certain concentrations of biomolecules to function properly, but how cells pull this off has puzzled scientists. A new study has solved the mystery by revealing two mechanisms for biosynthetic scaling.

Kiwifruit has proven itself as a powerful mood booster and new research from the University of Otago has shown just how fast its effects can be.

A team of researchers, led by experts from the University of Exeter and the University of Plymouth, has looked at the chronic toxicity of particles and chemical leachates found on a series of popular tyre brands.

Plant biologists report that a species of tree fern found only in Panama reanimates its own dead leaf fronds, converting them into root structures that feed the mother plant.

A new study by researchers at the Karolinska Institute, published in JAMA Network Open, sheds some light on the long-term effects of bacterial meningitis.
