New research by scientists at the University of Toronto and the Structural Genomics Consortium has deepened our understanding of how viruses like the flu, common cold, and COVID-19 get into cells in human airways.

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have developed an AI that could open up a new, cost-effective approach to identifying genetic perturbation patterns in cell images—potentially enabling the development of new drugs.

How did life originate? Ancient proteins may hold important clues. Every organism on Earth is made up of proteins. Although all organisms—even single-celled ones—have complex protein structures now, this wasn't always the case.

Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) have developed a technique that could help advance treatments in tissue engineering. The study, published in the journal Small, introduces a technique for producing tissues with precis

So different, yet so alike. Through pollination, bees play an important role in the ecosystem, affecting the life cycle of plants, biodiversity and agricultural production. Their presence goes hand in hand with human activity.

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA strands fold into complex shapes that allow them to drive

A recent study by Keifeng Yu and his colleagues, published in Acta Geologica Sinica, describes the discovery and identification of 12 new dinosaur teeth from the Upper Cretaceous Nenjiang Formation. The Cretaceous dinosaurs were identified as belonging to

Researchers led by the Institute of Marine Research in Norway report an 800 km poleward shift in the spawning grounds of Norwegian spring-spawning herring (NSS herring) following a loss of collective migration memory among older fish due to age-selective

Paleontologists at the Manitoba Museum and Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) have discovered a remarkable new 506-million-year-old predator from the Burgess Shale of Canada. The results are announced in a paper in the journal Royal Society Open Science.

Scientists studying chimpanzees in Budongo Forest, Uganda, have observed that these primates don't just treat their own injuries, but care for others, too—information which could shed light on how our ancestors first began treating wounds and using medic

Global warming is already very tough for animals in the wild, but it may be toughest for creatures like fish, whose body temperatures are controlled by the water temperatures around them.

From a small California winery to a large-scale energy project in China, floating photovoltaics—or "floatovoltaics"—are gaining in popularity. Commonly installed over artificial water bodies, from irrigation ponds and reservoirs to wastewater tr
