A new study has revealed that African elephants have an extraordinary ability to meet their colossal food requirements as efficiently as possible. Data from over 150 elephants demonstrated that these giants plan their journeys based on energy costs and re

A phone screen you can't scratch no matter how many times you drop it; glasses that prevent glare; a windshield that doesn't get dusty. These are all possibilities thanks to a new way to produce sapphire.

The world's amphibians are in trouble. Because of their sensitivity to climate change, habitat loss, and pollution, they may be the canary in the coal mine for the nascent anthropogenic mass extinction. Approximately 200 amphibian species have become ext

A new study led by Profs. Fan Kelong and Yan Xiyun from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences introduces a novel ferritin-based delivery system for small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting glioblastoma (GBM), a breakthrough that co

Researchers have developed a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensor capable of simultaneously detecting and differentiating between iron forms—Fe(II) and Fe(III)—in living plants.

A team of researchers at the George R. Brown School of Engineering and Computing at Rice University has developed an innovative artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled, low-cost device that will make flow cytometry—a technique used to analyze cells or partic

Stretchable display materials, which are gaining traction in the next-generation display market, have the advantage of being able to stretch and bend freely, but the limitations of existing materials have resulted in distorted screens and poor fit.

A new study from McGill University researchers suggests the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to rapidly analyze vast amounts of biodiversity data could revolutionize conservation efforts by enabling scientists and policymakers to make better-informed d

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their positions in the brain after birth. Their study shed light

Recently, scientists have been able to explore gene circuitry in individual cells using methods that suppress particular genes and measure the impact on the expression of other genes. These methods, however, fail to capture spatial information such as the

Recent research by Bowling Green State University scientists has sent shockwaves through the bird-watching world after discovering atypical behavior in hummingbirds.

Biological sciences researchers from the U of A have led the publication of a paper that expands our understanding of sensory neurons in the tentacles of sea anemones, linking them to kidney disease in humans through a common gene.
