Researchers build a new memory device following a single-electron storage breakthrough. It could make transferring data faster and more energy-efficient.
Astranis' newly announced Perceptor spacecraft will monitor satellite activity in geostationary orbit, a distant and increasingly contested domain.
California announced that it’s phasing out paraquat, a pesticide widely used in the United States that is linked to Parkinson’s disease.
For several years, climate scientists have shown that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could come to a halt if the world warms too much. New research from Utrecht University shows that this picture is incomplete: The pace of warming also determines whether the AMOC stays st...
Designing an effective antibody drug is like searching for the right key in a warehouse of locks. Scientists may begin with millions—or even billions—of antibody candidates, but only a tiny fraction will recognize and bind tightly to the disease target. Identifying those rare candidates has lon...
Long before humans discovered biodegradable plastics, microorganisms had already invented their own. Many bacteria and archaea produce natural bioplastics called polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), storing them inside their cells as reserves of carbon and energy.
