A timescale for the origin and evolution of all of life on Earth
A new study led by scientists from the University of Bristol has used a combination of genomic and fossil data to explain the history...
Screen of human proteins reveals some with antimicrobial power
The human body produces many antimicrobial peptides that help the immune system fend off infection. Scientists hoping to harness these peptides as potential antibiotics...
Scientists make leap in simulating quantum particles
New quantum theory research, led by academics at the University of St Andrews' School of Physics, could transform the way scientists predict how quantum...
Scientists identify enzyme that could accelerate biofuel production
Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology report on an enzyme belonging to the glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) family as a promising target for increasing...
Illicit drug use could be higher than previously thought; soars during special events
America's drug problem may be even worse than officials realize. And illicit drugs are consumed at a higher rate during celebratory events. Those are...
Light from ancient quasars helps confirm quantum entanglement
Last year, physicists at MIT, the University of Vienna, and elsewhere provided strong support for quantum entanglement, the seemingly far-out idea that two particles,...
Energy-efficient spin current can be controlled by magnetic field and temperature
The transition from light bulbs to LEDs has drastically cut the amount of electricity we use for lighting. Most of the electricity consumed by...
Pigs form a visual concept of human faces
Contrary to previous studies, pigs appear to have better visual discrimination abilities than had previously been assumed. Cognition researchers from the Messerli Research Institute...
Smallest transistor switches current with a single atom in solid electrolyte
At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), physicist Professor Thomas Schimmel and his team have developed a single-atom transistor, the world's smallest. This quantum electronics...
