To investigate whether paleoclimatic temperature shifts are correlated with body size changes, biologists decided to test this hypothesis using tetraodontiform fishes as a model group.

Wind power is an increasingly popular form of renewable energy. But when it's time to replace the huge turbine blades that convert wind into electricity, disposal is a problem. Today, scientists report a new composite resin for making these behemoths that could later be recycled into new turbine blades or...

Large pieces of plastic can break down into nanosized particles that often find their way into the soil and water. But they also float in the air, where their presence is less understood. As a step toward better understanding airborne nanoplastics, researchers have now developed a sensor that detects these...

For the first time, researchers have completed threat assessments for all 881 native tree species in the contiguous United States, resulting in a comprehensive checklist and synthesis that will serve as a critical baseline to guide future tree conservation efforts.

The study is an example of how brain imaging technology can be adapted to advance knowledge of brain processes and prompt new questions about behavior.

Researchers have shown they can eradicate advanced-stage mesothelioma tumors in mice in just a few days with a treatment combining tiny, cytokine 'drug factory' implants and a checkpoint inhibitor drug.

New study proves that single introduction of 24 animals shipped from England in 1859 caused the infamous invasion and argues that wild genetic traits gave these rabbits a devastating advantage over earlier arrivals.

A novel coordination polymer-based photocatalyst for CO2 reduction exhibits unprecedented performance, giving scientists new hope in the fight against global warming. Made from abundant elements and requiring no complex post-synthesis treatment or modifications, this promising photocatalyst could pave the way for a new class of photocatalysts for efficiently converting CO2...
