Below are comments on Tomaino, Cooke, and Hoover by four teams of collaborative reviewers that helped clarify and focus its original version. Their comments on the refined version articulate how the ...

In mice, programmed cells help regenerate axons, restore leg function

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, is one of the few places on Earth capable of routinely producing antimatter from high-energy collisions with...

Researchers have a new idea for measuring gravitational waves by watching how they make distant quasars, superbright galactic cores, appear to move in the sky.

In a new study, published July 18 in the high impact journal Science Advances, Western engineering professor Bing Li and his collaborators at Universidad Industrial de Santander (Industrial University of Santander) in Colombia and the United States Geological…

S. Koreas brain drain worsens as top scientists flee abroad Weak infrastructure and stagnant funding drive the brightest minds to foreign universities, threatening the countrys scientific edge

A study with researchers from CU Anschutz showed how an app reduced repeated suicide attempts by 58.3%. of patients with a history of attempting suicide.

New LS codes offer precision communication with space probes, simplifying long-distance navigation.

Ion channel at base of plant’s sensory hairs amplifies initial signals above critical threshold.

Researchers have uncovered how the body’s own immune system may be driving the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS — a breakthrough that could reshape treatment of the fatal disease.

Google says its quantum computer achieved a verifiable calculation that classic computers cannot. The work could point to future applications.

Researchers at UVA found that damage to the brain’s protective “nets” could explain memory loss and point toward new treatments.

When UC Berkeley biochemist Jennifer Doudna first began studying how bacteria fight virus infections, she had no idea it would result in one of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the century. Her curiosity-driven research on an obscure bacterial…

Micro- and nanoplastics slip through most filters and accumulate in drinking water and ecosystems. I develop green iron-oxide nanoparticles that bind plastics and let you pull them out with a simple magnet — early tests show 100% microplastic and ~90% nanoplastic…

Brandebura et al. demonstrate that aberrant downregulation of the secreted molecule
pleiotrophin contributes to neuronal phenotypes in a Down syndrome mouse model. Targeting
overexpression of pleiotrophin to astrocytes improves neuronal morphological and…

Nanofibers show promise in various applications, but face industrial challenges. A new review examines production methods and barriers to commercial adoption.
