Contrails — the white, fluffy streaks in the sky that form behind planes — can harm the environment, but small flight path adjustments could reduce the climate impact of these emissions.

By adding infrared capability to the ubiquitous, standard optical microscope, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign hope to bring cancer diagnosis into the digital era.

Researchers have designed new drug compounds that show promise in the laboratory as treatments against brain-eating amoebae, which can cause encephalitis.

Many amphibians and fish are able to change their color in order to better adapt to their environment. Munich-based scientists have now investigated the molecular mechanisms in the cytoskeleton necessary for this and revealed potential evolutionary paths.

Using high-resolution X-ray microscopy, researchers have provided new insights into the roles and distribution of nanoparticles in the cell.

A team from Yale University has enlisted an unlikely ally in efforts to treat the lethal brain cancer glioblastoma — elements of the Ebola virus.

Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have discovered that molecular changes in DNA observed in smokers are also found in vapers.

Researchers have developed a technology enabling them to visualize the post-stroke activity of macrophages formed in the bone marrow.
