For the first time, researchers have directly mapped what happens inside a particular type of soft material – liquid crystals – when they are deformed. The findings challenge long-standing assumptions drawn from traditional measurements.

The researchers found that the risk of death in dogs shoots up by nearly 10% on extreme heat days (days above 32 degrees), with an increased risk of 1% for every degree over 25.

A new stable 20-electron derivative of ferrocene has been synthesized, challenging the long-standing textbook 18-electron rule in organometallic chemistry. The breakthrough could lead to new possibilities for catalysis and materials science.

People’s intuitive perception of biodiversity through visual and audio cues is remarkably accurate and aligns closely with scientific measures of biodiversity, according to new research.

A chemical commonly found in sunscreen could be making plastic in oceans even harder to break down, according to University of Stirling research.

Pistachios have shown promise in improving markers of diet quality, yet little is known about how they influence the gut microbiome.

Using European satellite data, research led by the University of Southampton has discovered a sudden rise in surface salinity south of 50° latitude.

Researchers have developed a new solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology to characterize real-life plastic waste mixtures and aid in their separation and recycling.

A new, fully autonomous robotic system aims to speed up the discovery of new semiconductor materials by improving the speed at which researchers can measure important material properties.

Scientists have found evidence that the Asian continent was free of permafrost all the way to its northerly coast with the Arctic Ocean when Earth’s average temperature was 4.5˚ C warmer than today.
