Tissue engineering allows us to transplant laboratory-made tissues into patients to save their life. But, regenerating large organs this way is challenging. As...
The Earth’s climate is a complex, dynamic system and understanding of how it evolves still poses challenges. In a new study, researchers simplified Earth to a...
Peculiar, luminous radiation called ‘fast radio burst’ is a spectacular event with mysterious origins. In a new study, researchers observed the first fast...
About 252 million years ago, more than 95% of marine and 70% of terrestrial species perished within a geological blink of an eye. Our study reveals how Earth’s...
Bats possess many extraordinary adaptations, including echolocation, flight, unique immunity to viruses and extended longevity. To uncover the molecular basis...
The surface of Venus is littered with ring-shaped structures called “coronae”, whose formation is often linked to tectonic and volcanic activity in the past....
Morphogens are biological molecules that instruct patterning in developing tissues. We used an artificial morphogen to guide development in the fruit fly wing....
Instead of looking at visual maps, homing pigeons smell the environmental air to know their way home. Yet, how they achieve this spectacular feat remains...
After SARS-CoV-2 infection, our body produces antibodies that can defend us against the virus upon infection. However, not all antibodies act similarly - some...
Brightness variability of the Sun and other stars is one of the most intriguing manifestations of their magnetic activity. We compare the Sun’s brightness...
Sea-level rise is one of today’s most pressing global concerns and the response of coastal communities depends on social, cultural and environmental factors....
Rapidly rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are accelerating climate change. Climate knock-on effects in response to the human-induced rise in CO2...
