Oxygen threatens sustainable catalysts that use hydrogen to produce electricity in fuel cells. Researchers from Bochum and Marseille have developed a way to combat this.

On a map, submarine canyons seem identical to land canyons – so much so that researchers surmised they are shaped by the same physical laws. New research reveals distinct differences for the first time.

Eight briefcase-size satellites flying in a row may be key to improving forecasts of a hurricane's wind speed — detecting whether it will make landfall as a Category 1 or a Category 5.

Patients with advanced melanoma have been able to live longer because of several newly approved targeted treatment options, including BRAF and MEK inhibitors.

A new study by chemists at the University of Arkansas shows that X-ray crystallography, the standard method for determining the structure of proteins, can provide inaccurate information about a critical set of proteins – those found in cell membranes – which in turn could be leading to poor and inefficient drug design.

Brown University researchers, surgeons from Rhode Island Hospital and private partners will develop and test a device aimed at bridging the gap in neural circuitry created by spinal cord injury, in the hope of restoring muscle control and sensation.

With improved treatments, especially the use of anti-cancer immunotherapies, more than two-thirds of all patients diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) will survive. 

A new Michigan State University study has identified a family of genes in cyanobacteria that help control carbon dioxide fixation.

Airborne bacteria may see what looks like a comfy shag carpet on which to settle. But it’s a trap.

Out at the boundary of our solar system, pressure runs high.
