Most complex protein knots
Theoretical physicists put Google's artificial intelligence AlphaFold to the test and find the most complex protein knots so far.
Women already live longer. They can live better with an improved diet
Women tend to live longer than men but typically have higher rates of illness. Now, new research suggests these higher rates of illness can be improved by a better diet, one that is high in pigmented carotenoids such as yams, kale, spinach, watermelon, bell peppers, tomatoes, oranges and carrots.
Scientists find primitive blueprint for embryo cell creation
A groundbreaking study has uncovered 14,000 unique sites in DNA that together form the most elementary blueprint for embryogenesis -- the creation of embryos.
A brain network for social attraction
How does an animal's brain recognize other animals of its own kind? Scientists studying this process in young zebrafish have now discovered a neuronal circuit that mediates social attraction. This specialized pathway, which runs from the retina deep into the brain, enables zebrafish to detect and approach nearby conspecifics.
Researchers develop computer model to predict whether a pesticide will harm bees
Researchers have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to help protect bees from pesticides.
Wildfires May Have Sparked Ecosystem Collapse During Earth’s Worst Mass Extinction
New research today reveals that wildfires may have been a key contributor to the total collapse of land ecosystems during the Earth’s worst mass extinction event over 250 million years ago.
DOE Awards $14 Million to Improve Climate Change Predictions
