Science & Nature Monell Chemical Senses Center researcher Yali Zhang and colleagues identified a previously unknown chloride ion channel, which they named alkaliphile (Alka),...

Parts of California are under water, emergency flood declarations are in place in Nevada, and water is being released from some Arizona reservoirs to prepare for a bountiful spring runoff. Climate experts say all the snow and rain over the winter months helped alleviate dry conditions in many parts of the western U.S...

Scientists have created baby mice with two fathers for the first time by turning male mouse stem cells into female cells in a lab.This raises the distant possibility of doing the same for people – although experts caution that very few mouse embryos were born alive and no one knows whether the same technique would

Scientists say Hawaii’s second-largest volcano is not erupting. The U.S. Geological Survey released a statement late Saturday saying seismic activity beneath the summit of Kilauea “has returned to background levels, ground deformation has stabilized, and no lava has been observed at the surface.” The agency previously said a shallow earthquake storm signaled “resumption of eruptive

Science & Nature Researchers have produced a high-quality chromosome-level genome of the faba bean (Vicia faba), one of the earliest domesticated crops. The post Scientists...

Science & Nature Researchers have now, for the first time, demonstrated a high-efficiency, single-lens, refractive metalens telescope. The post Scientists Create First Ultrathin, Compact Metalens...

North Carolina State University researchers used satellite imagery and field sensors to estimate worldwide changes in plant leaf growth due to global warming. The researchers found that changes in “greening,” or the amount of leaves plants are able to produce, will play a significant role in how much carbon dioxide plants capture and store. “As

Science & Nature Scientists have analyzed 356 ancient hunter-gatherer genomes, including new genomic data for 116 individuals from 14 countries in western and central...
