Just moments after the big bang, all matter existed in a state called the quark-gluon plasma. Yale professor Helen Caines and her group work with the STAR collaboration, together aiming to discover the properties of our universe this early in its history.
Researchers at the University of Nottingham may have determined the cause of why yawns are contagious.
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have been studying the genomics of wheat to determine how it was domesticated.
Peter Wang is a current senior majoring in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. While at Yale, he’s done it all—from publishing a paper in ACS Biochemistry to going on a month-long solo journey through Europe.
What if aging could be stopped, or even reversed? Michael Fossel, University of Michigan professor of clinical science and the author of The Telomerase Revolution, writes about the potential for aging to be reversed using the enzyme telomerase.
A long time ago, in galaxies far, far away, stars were churned out at unprecedented rates: over 100 solar masses were produced annually. These luminous,
The more plastic we have, the bigger of an environmental problem we face. University of Nebraska-Lincoln Professor Yiqi Yang is discovering new polymers to create better biodegradable plastics.
In the time it takes you to read this sentence, more than 100 billion neutrinos from the sun will pass through your fingertip. You’re not
A comparison of genetic and environmental correlations between twenty-nine diseases reveals unforeseen similarities that transform both the classification and potentially treatments of complex diseases.
Researchers at Rice, Durham, and North Carolina State have developed and tested molecular motors that, upon UV activation, drill holes through cell membranes and kill the targeted cells. Their research has the potential to lead to revolutionary new photodynamic treatments for diseases like cancer.
