Prior research has shown not getting enough sleep can impact your weight, but new BYU research finds the consistency of your bed time and wake time can also…
Many qualitative tests that provide a simple “yes” or “no” answer (like an at-home pregnancy test) have been optimized for use in these resource-limited…
Understanding superconductivity – whereby certain materials can conduct electricity without any loss of energy – has proved to be one of the most persistent…
The scientists discovered at specific circumstances electric currents that made it possible to identify defects in the carbon lattice of single diamonds…
Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium found in the stomach. Identified in the early 1980s, it was shown to be present in patients…

Samples from two classes of iron-based superconductors, pnictides and chalcogenides, employ similar coupling between electrons in their superconducting state,…
Human noses come in all shapes and sizes. But one feature seems to hold true: Men’s noses are bigger than women’s.A new study from the University of Iowa…
Batteries that power electric cars have problems. They take a long time to charge. The charge doesn’t hold long enough to drive long distances. They don’t…
For 40 years, scientists thought they understood how certain bacteria work together to anaerobically digest biomass to produce methane gas, important in…
“Our results show that it is just as effective – both for survival and recovery of neurological function – to focus on avoiding the fever that accompanies…
Patients with acute coronary syndrome who were treated with the experimental drug varespladib were more likely to experience additional cardiovascular events –…
Ferroelectric materials are known for their ability to spontaneously switch polarization when an electric field is applied. Using a scanning probe microscope,…
UCLA biologists reported last year on the evolution of 129 primate faces in species from Central and South America. This research team now reports on the faces…
Global outreach effort by electricity giants fosters bottom-up approach to strong Public-Private Partnerships; 'Golden Rules' draw on lessons worldwideThe…
Temporal lobe epilepsy is characterized by seizures emanating from the temporal lobes, which sit on each side of the brain just above the ear. Previously,…
