As they design new drugs to fight off influenza, scientists may not need to attack the virus directly. Instead, they may be able to stave off infection by…
Ray Arvidson of Washington University in St. Louis, Phoenix's “dig czar,” said the hard Martian surface that Phoenix has reached proved to be a difficult…
The new maps, based on nearly a decade of data from NASA's QuikSCAT satellite, have many potential uses, including planning the locations of offshore wind…
A new study by researchers from the University of Illinois measures movements smaller than one-billionth of a meter in ion channels. This movement is critical…
In the Arctic, an increase in soot may contribute to climate change if shipping routes expand, according to the study. Oceangoing tankers and container ships…
A gene that is overexpressed in 20 percent of breast cancers increases the number of cancer stem cells, the cells that fuel a tumor’s growth and spread,…
