Our tongue is inhabited by billions of microbes. But are they beneficial for us? A new imaging technique reveals that these microbes build organized...
We studied the genetic variation among people from diverse groups across the globe, to learn about the complex evolutionary history that has shaped our...
Born more than ten billion years ago, the early life of our Milky Way galaxy remains mysterious. Recently we discovered the Phoenix Stream, the remnants of a...
Until recently, the immune system was thought to be excluded from the brain. A new study shows that the immune system is not only able to enter the brain - it...
The absurdly long neck of the ancient reptile Tanystropheus represents a true evolutionary enigma. A new high-resolution 3D imaging of its skull suggests that...
How was the Earth formed? The age of its neighbor, the Moon, tells us much about the history of our planet. We propose a new method to more accurately estimate...
Ancient comets are great history-tellers of the Solar system. Our discovery of nitrogenous salts within comets provides hints for how comets might have brought...
The social bond between parent and offspring balances selfishness and altruism. We investigated how genes control these behaviors in European earwigs, and...
How did beetles become one of the most diverse groups of animals? We reconstructed the beetle family tree and studied beetle DNA. We determined that...
Throughout evolution, our genomes have been under attack by potentially harmful viruses. However, sometimes genes from the viral invaders have been captured...
From flowers to leaves and carnivorous plant traps, humble mounds of cells generate remarkably diverse plant organ shapes. How do plants coordinate growth to...
Oxygen is a life-sustaining element that makes up about twenty percent of the air we breathe. Our research suggests that the stepwise rise of O2 in our...
