Researchers have long focused on proteins and DNA when investigating the causes of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. Now, US scientists have investigated the role of sugar chains for the first time.
Scientists have discovered a giant methane leak on the Antarctic seabed, a latent threat that could accelerate climate change and transform the balance of the planet.
Three billion years ago, Earth's oceans were green due to their chemical composition. The Great Oxidation Event turned them blue, prompting the evolution of life. This discovery could help identify habitable worlds beyond our planet.
New research describes how under the sea mountains are key locations for ocean predators – with 41 times more sharks using them as a hub rather than the open ocean.
The tomb of Thutmose II was discovered after 12 years of archaeological excavations in Luxor, a historic city in Egypt.
How safe are children’s toys, and how can we better test for chemicals that might be harmful?
New research conducted by animal scientists at the University of California analyses grazing behaviours within cattle. This study is the third in a series of papers published on this subject.
The special thing about the newly discovered exoplanet HD 20794d is that it orbits in the habitable zone of its star. It is also located at a distance where liquid water could exist.
Researchers have discovered that the branching of tree limbs can be mathematically described using fractal patterns. In artistic representations, these patterns are crucial for viewers to recognize a tree as such.
