Once female elk reach the age of about 10 years, they are nearly invulnerable to human hunters. This age-related difference could be driven only by selection by hunters — or

The technique, which has been validated against a drug-resistant bacterial strain, identifies compounds that target two or more receptor sites on proteins that inhibit a key cellular function. To obtain

“The nature of proof should not be: ‘Can we point at a planet and say, yes or no, that’s the planet hosting alien life,” said Jacob Bean, associate professor of

Almost certainly yes — though not an identical twin. And so did every other sunlike star in the universe, according to a new analysis by a theoretical physicist from the

Global climate change and the energy crisis mean that alternatives to fossil fuels are urgently needed. Among the cleanest low-carbon fuels is hydrogen, which can react with oxygen to release

The research group ‘Food Colour and Quality’, which is part of the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Seville, has published two scientific articles in which the reason that

Tseng, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Pathology and Anatomical Sciences in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, was on the dig

Ryan M. Gelfand, an assistant professor in CREOL, The College of Optics Photonics, was a graduate student at Northwestern University when he began researching the concept with fellow grad student

When undesirable molecules show up, the bacterial cell opens a tunnel though its cell wall and “effluxes,” or pumps out, the intruders. “Dynamic assembly of these tunnels has long been

It turns out that assemblies of metallic nanoparticles, which can be carefully arranged at multiple length scales, behave like bulk magnets and display intriguing, shape-dependent behavior. The effects, reported this

In research led by Gao Liu, the team unexpectedly found that carrageenan, a seaweed derivative, acts as a stabilizer in lithium-sulfur batteries. Better stability allows for more cycling and an

The scientists studied a cluster of thousands of galaxies more than 250 million light-years from Earth, named the Perseus Cluster after the constellation in which it appears. Embedded within the

The researchers used a Mendelian randomization approach to examine whether genetic variants linked to higher BMI were also associated with risk of Parkinson disease. The associations between the genetic variants

These 19 PMI countries along with 13 others in sub-Saharan Africa that did not receive PMI funding presented the authors with a “quasi-experiment” that enabled them to analyze large population-representative

In a study of predominantly African-American women — who have a much higher rate of delivering babies early compared with other racial groups — researchers at Washington University School of
