Cambridge researchers have engineered a solar-powered "artificial leaf" that mimics photosynthesis to make valuable chemicals sustainably. Their biohybrid device combines organic semiconductors and enzymes to convert CO and sunlight into formate with ...

Earth's climate balance isn't just governed by the slow weathering of silicate rocks, which capture carbon and stabilize temperature over eons. New research reveals that biological and oceanic feedback loops--especially involving algae, phosphorus, . ...

Researchers uncovered that trace compounds like nickel and urea may have delayed Earth's oxygenation for millions of years. Experiments mimicking early Earth revealed how their concentrations controlled cyanobacterial growth, dictating when oxygen .. ...

The debate over Nanotyrannus' identity is finally over. A remarkably preserved fossil proves it was a mature species, not a teenage T. rex. This discovery rewrites how scientists understand tyrannosaur evolution and Cretaceous predator diversity. For ...

After decades of mystery, scientists have finally proven that Europe's largest bat, the greater noctule, hunts and eats small songbirds mid-air--more than a kilometer above ground. Using tiny biologgers strapped to bats, researchers recorded ...

A pandemic-era breakthrough has allowed scientists to literally expand our view of plankton. By using ultrastructure expansion microscopy, researchers visualized the inner workings of hundreds of marine species for the first time. The effort, tied to ...

Researchers discovered that soil microbes in Kansas carry drought "memories" that affect how plants grow and survive. Native plants showed stronger responses to these microbial legacies than crops like corn, hinting at co-evolution over time. Genetic ...

Researchers discovered that altering the body's natural rhythm can help protect the brain from Alzheimer's damage. By turning off a circadian protein in mice, they raised NAD+ levels and reduced harmful tau buildup. The findings suggest that ...

New research from Australia overturns the old idea that exercise "uses up" heartbeats. It shows that fitter people actually use fewer total heartbeats each day thanks to their lower resting heart rates, even when accounting for workouts. Athletes' .. ...

More screen time among children and teens is linked to higher risks of heart and metabolic problems, particularly when combined with insufficient sleep. Danish researchers discovered a measurable rise in cardiometabolic risk scores and a metabolic . ...
