Adult brains grow new neurons, and scientists have finally pinpointed where they come from

Nature Physics - When a charge current, a temperature gradient and a magnetic field are applied orthogonally to each other, a conductor is expected to heat or cool. This so-called transverse...

Nature Communications - Atropisomers are sterically hindered molecules whose formation typically proceeds via atropisomeric intermediates and encumbered transition states. Here, the authors report...

A novel active exopolysaccharide named EPS3.9 was isolated from deep-sea Spongiibacter. EPS3.9 exhibits potent anticancer effects by inducing NLRP3/Casp1/GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis in vitro. In exper...

A novel way to prevent the spread of malaria – a potentially life-threatening disease transmitted through bites from mosquitoes infected by a parasite – could soon be realized, thanks to scientists at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research…

How do scientists ensure accurate data in the intense radiation of the LHC? Discover the innovative chip design that makes it possible.

In a breakthrough study, scientists have transferred a courtship behavior from one species to another, triggering the recipient to perform this completely foreign act as if it was its own. While genes have been swapped between species to influence traits…

It's surprisingly aggressive.

Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine discover a genetic twist that sets humans apart: a DNA region called HAR123 that influences cognitive flexibility and brain cell development, providing insights into human evolution and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Researchers have identified eight new genes associated with schizophrenia in the largest exome-sequencing study to date.

Nature - Laser method could help to pinpoint the age of many fossils, but some palaeontologists say further research is needed to verify the technique.

A new twist on one of the foundational elements of quantum physics at the University of Sydney will sharpen next-generation sensor technology.

A win for fertility research.

U engineers' stripped-down version of polypeptide inhibits ice formation without toxicity of chemical antifreeze.

A rare diagnosis.

We didn't know this could happen.

Teasing out biochemical information from ancient organic-rich sediments, notably the timing of the emergence of photosynthesis relative to the inferred oxygenation of Earth’s atmosphere, remains a challenging opportunity.

Scientific Reports - Higher glass transition temperatures reduce thermal stress cracking in aqueous solutions relevant to cryopreservation

When one eye is deprived of vision early in life, it can lead to amblyopia, a condition more commonly known as lazy eye. This happens because a lack of input disrupts synapse formation in the brain's primary visual cortex, weakening vision in that eye.
