Plant biologist Molly Edwards started a science communication business called Science IRL to showcase the exciting and curious side of science.

Researchers have devised a new tool for discerning between naturally occurring viral outbreaks and those resulting from lab ...

A nearly complete dinosaur skeleton discovered in Patagonia is helping scientists crack the mystery of alvarezsaurs, a bizarre group of bird-like dinosaurs. The fossil of Alnashetri cerropoliciensis ...

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...

It's an age old practice that's having a moment right now. But is there anything to the health claims? Scientists say sauna ...

Paleobiologist Geerat Vermeij is enthralled with mollusks. Their shells line the surfaces and fill the cabinets and drawers in his office on the second floor of the Earth and Planetary Sciences ...

It's an age old practice that's having a moment right now. But is there anything to the health claims? Scientists say sauna is more than hot air.

Three tiny Purgatorius teeth found in Colorado are helping scientists trace how early primates evolved and spread across North America.

Drosophila mojavensis, and propose that sleep at one stage of an animal's life might anticipate needs at a future stage. The results fit well with this model, but are correlative in nature. The work ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Large-scale evolutionary analysis shows most zoonotic viruses emerge without prior adaptation, while passing through a laboratory leaves detectable genetic signatures, offering a new tool to interpret ...
