A new study from researchers at the University of Nottingham provides the strongest evidence to date that cancer is extremely rare in turtles.

The study reveals how interactions between cryptic mutations can increase or decrease the number of reproductive branches on tomato plants.

MIT engineers have designed an implantable reservoir that can remain under the skin and be triggered to release glucagon when blood sugar levels get too low.

New research from Northern Arizona University points to the idea that under some conditions, plants can “curate” their microbiomes—selecting good microbes and suppressing harmful ones—to adapt to their environments.

When domesticated breeds return to the wild and feralise, the rabbits do not simply revert to their wild form – they experience distinct, novel anatomical changes, a study finds.

A combination of sewage overflows and coastal winds could be sending billions of airborne microplastic particles into the world’s coastal towns and cities, a new study suggests.

Researchers identified bacterial isolates from Crete that rapidly kill mosquito larvae by producing insecticidal metabolites. Some strains achieved full larval mortality within 24 hours.

Researchers have developed a new technique for capturing carbon dioxide efficiently and affordably using cold air and widely available materials. The method could expand the deployment opportunities for direct air capture technologies.

A new study describes different ways in which the atmospheric conditions responsible for the floods could have played out.

Researchers have developed a novel approach that uses magnetically guided mechanical forces to direct axonal growth, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of stem cell-based therapies for Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions.
