Blind and low-vision programmers have long been locked out of three-dimensional modeling software, which depends on sighted users dragging, rotating and inspecting shapes on screen.

A pioneering liquid metal combination is shaping up as a potential secret weapon in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance, and promises to outlast existing implant materials.

Breastfeeding until at least six months helps babies to fight off infections and reduces chronic inflammation, according to a new study.

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are worm-like parasites of the genus Meloidogyne that are found in many parts of the world. They attack the roots of plants, causing them to wilt and eventually die.

Could an anomaly in the developing brain explain motor difficulties occurring decades later in people with rare movement disorders?

Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then selectively hardened into a desired shape using a laser or UV light.

When astronauts land near the moon's south pole as part of NASA's Artemis program in a few years, they likely will find themselves in an unexpected treasure trove of clues that could help scientists better understand how Earth's only natural satellite came to be.

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age.

Harmful genetic changes in sperm become substantially more common as men age because some are actively favored during sperm production, new research has revealed.

A new study led by researchers at the Department of Population Medicine–Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, Boston Medical Center, and Boston University School of Public Health finds that how Medicaid programs are designed can make a big difference in the care pregnant and postpartum people receive.

Engineered polymers hold promise for use in next generation technologies such as light-harvesting devices and implantable electronics that interact with the nervous system—but creating polymers with the right combination of chemical, physical and electronic properties poses a significant challenge.

New research has revealed that about 90% of marine aquarium fish sold by online retailers in the United States are sourced directly from wild populations, mostly in the western Pacific and Indian Ocean.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Men are around four times more likely to develop it than women, and smoking is the main known environmental risk factor.

Sexual size differences are widespread in biology, yet the "how" behind them often remains vague. We asked a concrete question in a classic model organism: when female flies are larger than males, do individual organs achieve this by adding more cells, enlarging the cells they already have, or mixing both strategies—and is this consistent across the body?

Researchers at Leipzig University and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg have investigated a previously unknown process that occurs during protein synthesis in the cell.

For decades, scientists have observed, but been unable to explain, a phenomenon seen in some soft materials: When force is applied, these materials exhibit not one, but two spikes in energy dissipation, known as overshoots.

Climate change not only causes temperatures on land and in the sea to rise, but also leads to warming rivers, lakes, and streams—with serious consequences for the animals living within them.

Blood thinners are often prescribed to prevent life-threatening clots. One type, called direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), is used to treat a variety of conditions that affect blood vessels, the heart and lungs.

As technology advances, the demand for large-scale and sustainable energy storage also increases. To address this need, researchers at Tohoku University have developed a prototype rechargeable magnesium battery (RMB) that surmounts many of the persistent challenges faced by magnesium-based energy storage.

For decades, it's been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter—or that they got erased during manufacturing.

An international team of scientists has generated a new ring-shaped protein nanomaterial capable of strongly binding to and neutralizing the SARS-CoV2 virus.

Painting walls in light colors, insulating roofs, choosing medium-sized windows, and aligning buildings to the sun's path may seem like simple choices.

A study published in Science of the Total Environment sheds light on the persistent chemical contaminants left behind at illegal cannabis cultivation sites, also known as "trespass grows," on California's federally managed lands.

New research, based on forest fires in Australia, proves there is a significantly higher risk of large-scale flooding when major deforestation has occurred in catchment areas.

Orchid seeds are as small as dust and do not provide any nutrients for the young plant to grow. The adult plants are known to rely on a certain type of fungi that develop structures within the plant's roots, but whether these same fungi also help with germination has not been established.
