A team of scientists led by The University of Western Australia has discovered two new species of trapdoor spiders in the Kimberley region, marking the first time members of the species have been found in northern Australia.

CD163 might not be the most exciting name in the world, but behind it lies one of the body's most important defense receptors, which steps in when red blood cells break down and release harmful hemoglobin. Now, researchers at Aarhus University are the fi

The Smart 3D Printing Research Team at KERI, led by Dr. Seol Seung-kwon has developed the world's first technology for printing high-resolution 3D microstructures using MXene, a material known as the dream material.

University of Michigan researchers have developed a statistical method that can be used for such wide-ranging applications as tracing your ancestry, modeling disease spread and studying how animals spread through geographic regions. Their results are publ

Tracking targeted drug delivery is often a challenge due to limitations in current imaging techniques. A recent study by Tokyo's Waseda University reports a breakthrough imaging technique that allows direct and highly sensitive tracking of gold nanoparti

Cell membrane proteins hide secret gateways that can be used to modify cell behavior. This has been demonstrated in a study led by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and published in Nature Communications.

Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus studied a new method to deliver antibiotics, specifically gentamicin, directly into the bladder tissue to better treat UTIs. They did this by creating nanogels combined with a special pep

A new study published in Science by a team of scientists across five continents led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Associate Professor Brande Wulff reports a previously unknown molecular event that initiates the immune respo

Scientists have long suspected that phosphorene nanoribbons (PNRs)—thin pieces of black phosphorus, only a few nanometers wide—might exhibit unique magnetic and semiconducting properties, but proving this has been difficult.

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have found that the critically endangered regent honeyeater faces hidden genetic risks while still retaining relatively high genetic diversity, risks that become apparent when combining genomic data across time

University at Albany researchers at the RNA Institute are pioneering new methods for designing and assembling DNA nanostructures, enhancing their potential for real-world applications in medicine, materials science and data storage.

A new species of fossil from 444 million years ago that has perfectly preserved insides has been affectionately named "Sue" after its discoverer's mom.
