A new study from MIT finds that the longings we feel during social isolation share a neural basis with the food cravings we feel when hungry.

Researchers have now developed a way to image up to five different molecule types at a time, by measuring each signal from random, distinct locations throughout a cell.

Neural networks can produce incredibly gains in speech and efficiency, but can also make simplistic mistake. A new study suggests that common assumptions about the cause behind these supposed malfunctions may be mistaken, information that is crucial for evaluating the reliability of these networks.

New research has been published that predicts traits in corn-based on genomics and data analytics.

A new paper details a method of characterizing every cell in the cornea using an approach known as single-cell RNA sequence analysis to answer questions about the cornea's healing process.

Rising temperatures in Germany's largest drinking water reservoir present new challenges for the drinking water supply. According to researchers, the impacts of this increase can be alleviated by mitigating climate change and applying new management strategies.

Scientists have now addressed a bottleneck in the protein trafficking system, dendritic branch points.

Bioinformaticians at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany together with colleagues from Finland and the USA, have now developed a unique method with which all metabo­lites in a sample can be taken into account, thus considerably increasing the knowledge gained from examining such molecules.

When starvation threatens, forest-dwelling bacteria work collectively to form fruiting bodies, spongy mushroom-like growths that promote survival. Researchers have identified how these bacteria harness the same physical laws that lead to the whorls of a fingerprint to build the structures layer by layer.

Scientists have found that bacterial groups spread more rapidly over surfaces when the individuals inside them move slowly.
