The method pairs a mass spectrometer with a powerful machine-learning platform to detect SARS-CoV-2 in nasal swabs. A recent study published in Nature Scientific Reports shows the test to be 98.3% accurate for positive COVID-19 tests and 96% for negative

Researchers found found that independent pharmacies and those in southern U.S. states were significantly more likely to restrict access to buprenorphine, also known as Suboxone.

The hormone prolactin has long been understood to play a vital role in breast growth and development and the production of milk during pregnancy. But a pair of recent studies conducted at VCU Massey Cancer Center finds strong evidence that prolactin also acts as a major contributor to breast cancer development and that the hormone could inform the creation of targeted drugs to treat multiple forms

The space agency picked Elon Musk’s company over two other bidders to take its astronauts back to the lunar surface.

Four astronauts who traveled to the International Space Station on board the SpaceX Crew Dragon late last week experienced a bit of a scare: believing that a piece of space junk was zipping by too close to comfort , SpaceX HQ at Hawthorne instructed the astronauts to don their spacesuits in case of a collision. But now, according to an investigation by the US Space Command 18th Space Control Squa

3D printing has opened up a completely new range of possibilities. One example is the production of novel turbine buckets. However, the 3D printing process often induces internal stress in the components which can in the worst case lead to cracks. Now a research team has succeeded in using neutrons from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) research neutron source for non-destructive detection

Each year over 150,000 infants worldwide are infected with HIV in the womb, at birth, or through breastfeeding. Why transmission occurs in some cases but not others has long been a mystery, but now a team led by Weill Cornell Medicine and Duke University scientists has uncovered an important clue, with implications for how to eliminate infant HIV infections.

A new study led by a planetary scientist uses a computer model of Mars to put forth a promising explanation onto how Mars once contained rivers and lakes: Mars could have had a thin layer of icy, high-altitude clouds that caused a greenhouse effect.

Researchers examined 14,000 genetic differences between modern humans and our most recent ancestors at a new level of detail. They found that differences in gene activation – not just genetic code – could underlie evolution of the brain and vocal tract.

Researchers have created to novel biobanks of diverse tissues from animals to further explore the biological bases and consequences of addiction to cocaine and oxycodone.

Corn is America's top agricultural crop, and also one of its most wasteful. About half the harvest — stalks, leaves, husks, and cobs — remains as waste after the kernels have been stripped from the cobs. These leftovers, known as corn stover, have few commercial or industrial uses aside from burning. A new article describes an energy-efficient way to put corn stover back into the economy by tran

A new guideline for reporting research results has been developed to improve reproducibility, replication, and transparency in life sciences.

New research shows placing solar panels on the roofs of Australian airport buildings could be an efficient step towards net zero emissions.

The astronauts flying SpaceX back to Earth this week urged boaters to stay safe by staying away from their capsule's splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.

As researchers continue to study the neurological impacts of COVID-19, a Houston Methodist international collaboration has documented an unexpectedly frequent occurrence of acute transverse myelitis – inflammation of the spinal cord – in 43 COVID-19 patients.

In Northern California, the proportion of ticks infected with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi was the same in shrubland along beaches as in woodland habitats.

Powered flight in animals—that uses flapping wings to generate thrus—is a very energetically demanding mode of locomotion that requires many anatomical and physiological adaptations. In fact, the capability to develop it has only appeared four times in the evolutionary history of animals: On insects, pterosaurs, birds and bats.

Starship Clone Back in 2017, SpaceX showed off its vision for the future: an end-to-end transportation system that can get you anywhere on the globe in a matter of a couple of hours by rocketing into near space on board what was called the “BFR.” Four years later, and that vision of what is now known as the Starship system has made significant progress, with SpaceX focusing on getting the first a

A team around deep-sea scientist has now discovered that sponges leave trails on the sea floor in the Arctic deep sea.

A professor has introduced a new concept for rapidly analyzing for the presence of a virus from colds to coronaviruses. However, although the concept can identify that someone has a type of coronavirus for example, it would not be able to determine the type of coronavirus, or variants. Additional tests would still be required to find out the specific virus someone was infected with.

A multi-institutional team of researchers, led by UC San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center, has identified both the genetic abnormalities that drive pre-cancer cells into becoming an invasive type of head and neck cancer and patients who are least likely to respond to immunotherapy.

Immunization had up to 77 percent efficacy in a Phase 2 clinical study of 450 children in Burkina Faso.

In an experimental pain study of CBD in humans, researchers conclude that CBD pain relief is driven by both pharmacological action and psychological placebo effects.

Earlier this month, scientists announced that they’d successfully created part-human, part-monkey hybrids by injecting human stem cells into six-day-old macaque embryos. The experiment was shockingly successful compared to past attempts to create hybrids — also called chimeras — according to the study , which was published in the journal Cell . Aside from the abstract benefits of scientific disco
