Researchers created a soft robot out of modular, cylindrical segments. The segments, which can operate independently or join to form a longer unit, all contribute to the robot’s ability to move and steer.

Children who experience chronic lack of sleep from infancy may be at increased risk of developing psychosis in early adulthood, new research shows.

A team of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute investigators discovered that a subset of myeloid and lymphoid leukemias depend on a molecular complex called PI3Kgamma for survival. The study provides both mechanistic and preclinical evidence supporting the rapid initiation of clinical trials for patients wi...

Two new studies upend decades of research on the ways animals and insects learn.

Using enzymes produced by a bacteria that almost everyone has in their gut, researchers have removed the antigens from red blood cells that determine blood type, putting us within reach of producing universal donor blood.

The Neanderthal species remains an intriguing enigma for scientists and historians during their extensive exploration of time

A collaboration between the University of Sydney and University of Geneva has developed a completely new way to make 'surpamolecules' for drug discovery, developing a new type of anticoagulant with on-demand reversibility.

Living in Geologic Time: Scientists dismantle the myths of Yellowstone.

Over the past four centuries quadrillions of ants have created a strange and turbulent global society that shadows our own

A Texas A&M neuroscientist explains the emerging research.

Ronit Freeman and her lab use innovative approaches to build functional cells, bridging the gap between synthetic and living materials.

The researchers showcase swept-coded aperture real-time femtophotography—an all-optical single-shot computational imaging modality at up to 156.3 trillion frames per second—video-records transient absorption in a semiconductor and ultrafast demagnetization of a metal alloy.

Published recently in a peer-reviewed international journal, the new study could help minimize the side effects of treatment and potentially improve survival rates for patients battling this aggressive cancer.

A group of prominent biologists and philosophers announced a new consensus: There’s “a realistic possibility” that insects, octopuses, crustaceans, fish and other overlooked animals experience consciousness.

In a new study published today in Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have designed a new method for developing immunotherapy drugs using engineered peptides to elicit a natural immune response inside the body.

Researchers in search of the colossal squid took Antarctic cruises, hoping to film and learn more about the elusive, rarely seen sea creature.
