A study upends the paradigm that the atoms and molecules that make up the natural world define the character of solid matter, and argues that the character of many biological materials is actually created by the water that permeates these materials.

Zirconium-based materials have been shown to effectively separate radium and actinium, which could enable the large-scale production of radioisotopes for cancer therapy.

Research has identified a protein, found in the main vector of the bacterium that causes Brazilian spotted fever, that is essential to the vector's survival, making it a promising target for vaccine development.

Scientists discovered insights into the importance of a minor cell type in the brain—microglia—in controlling anxiety-related behaviors in laboratory mice.

In a new study, researchers have linked long COVID with ongoing brain inflammation, as well as depressive and cognitive symptoms.

According to research, those who continue to be exposed to dangerous mercury levels from power plant emissions tend to be poor, less educated and from limited-English households.

Researchers find that pre-basophil and mast cell progenitors differentiate into pre-basophils before producing mature basophils in mice.

Researchers have uncovered the mechanisms of a fundamental yet critically under-looked phase in brain development: synaptic pruning.

The boundless and bizarre content of human dreams has attracted the interest of biological researchers for decades. A new study by German scientists shows that pigeons dream too. The team used a technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to look at bird brain areas that lit up during sleep.

Researchers analyzed proteomics data from the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain, combining data from 10 different study cohorts, most of which had been published before.
