Marrying biology and engineering permits the design or redesign of biological molecules and complex systems that do not exist naturally in the world – the applications of which are unprecedented.

The brain's response to alcohol varies based on individual preferences, according to research published Monday in "eNeuro."

The study, by academics at the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge and the LEGO Foundation, pulled together fragmentary evidence from the past 40 years to understand more about how fathers play with their children when they are very young (ages 0 to 3). The researchers wanted to find out whether father-child play differs from the way children play with their mothers, and its impact on children’s development.

A researcher from FAU’s Harbor Branch and collaborators are the first to uncover the role kinship plays in complex groupings and relationships of beluga whales in 10 locations across the Arctic.

Absence of human contact is associated with declines in cognitive function. But as the COVID-19 pandemic brings concerns about the potential harms of isolation to the fore, researchers are still hunting for concrete evidence of a causal role as well as possible mechanisms.

Columbia Engineering and Vanderbilt researchers demonstrate that human lungs rejected for transplant can be recovered using cross-circulation, to provide much larger number of donor lungs to critically ill patients.

Researchers in Singapore developed a system that’s sort of like noise-canceling headphones for your whole apartment.

Their trends suggest that the next eruption won’t happen for a long time

Every three seconds, someone in the world develops dementia. The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. While researchers have identified a number of risk factors that are linked to dementia – including genetics, smoking, and high blood pressure – there is currently still no cure.

A researcher from the University of British Columbia in Okanagan is hoping to flip the switch on the pre-convinced stereotype that teens are mean. Associate Professor John-Tyler Binfet, a researcher in the School of Education, says teenagers often receive a negative reputation, sometimes showcased in mainstream media reports of bullying, cyberharassment or schoolyard battles.

For conscious consumers, palm oil tends to be the pariah of tropically grown crops. This is due to the well-publicized fact that oil palm plantations are highly destructive to biodiversity, displacing critically endangered species like orangutans. But palm oil isn’t the only consumable oil that causes environmental damage, according to a new study.

Scientists at Harvard University and the Black Hole Initiative (BHI) have developed a new method to find black holes in the outer solar system, and along with it, determine once-and-for-all the true nature of the hypothesized Planet Nine. The paper, accepted to The Astrophysical Journal Letters, highlights the ability of the future Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) mission to observe accretion flares, the presence of which could prove or rule out Planet Nine as a black hole.

A growing body of research shows that COVID-19 is linked to potentially fatal brain damage and neurological problems. According to a study published Wednesday in the journal Brain, some coronavirus patients experience brain swelling that’s accompanied by episodes of delirium. Other patients develop nervous-system disorders like Guillain-Barré syndrome that can cause paralysis, while a few have life-threatening strokes.

Americans with lower incomes today are less happy than they were 40 years ago. Could the growing class divide be to blame?

There is growing evidence that another “pandemic" has been infecting bees around the world for the past two decades and is spreading–a fungal pathogen known as Nosema.

Eat a slab of steak and your resident gut bacteria get to work immediately to break it down. But new research shows that a metabolic byproduct, called TMAO, produced in the process can be toxic to the lining of arteries, making them age faster.

Allocating more than £10 billion for research as part of the 2020–21 budget, the UK government seems to be well on track to boost science funding to 2.4% of GDP by 2027 as they had promised in March, an analysis by the Campaign for Science and Engineering (Case) has found.

Spain's large-scale study on the coronavirus indicates just 5% of its population has developed antibodies, strengthening evidence that a so-called herd immunity to Covid-19 is "unachievable," the medical journal the Lancet reported on Monday.

Nearly three times as many stallions as mares found in archaeological sites
