The human immune system is very effective in eliminating pathogens that attack us in everyday life. However, in the case of HIV infection, it fails to clear...
The brain's immune system helps us defend ourselves against pathogens and attacks, but what happens when it doesn't or it overreacts? Could it be dangerous?...
The sudden release of water and sediment from glacial lakes, known as glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), are a major natural hazard that can result in...
Aging is like a box full of secrets. Inside this "Pandora's box" lies a ticking time bomb of viruses, obsolete from millions of years ago, called endogenous...
Whenever a material changes phase, by melting, crystallizing, or changing symmetry, it always begins at the nanoscale. With a new ultrafast X-ray microscope...
Clouds are an indispensable part of our Earth’s atmosphere. Although closely associated with rain, water is not the only substance a cloud can carry. Using...
Historically redlined communities in the U.S. today have lower home values, poorer health, and greater exposure to environmental hazards. Our research found...
