Materials with self-adaptive mechanical responses have long been sought after in material science. Using computer simulations, researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Hyderabad, now show how such ...
Around 98% of Australian 15-year-olds use social media. Platforms such as TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram are where young people connect with friends and online communities, explore and express their identities, seek information, ...
In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA strands fold into complex ...
The majority of RNAs in each of our cells don't code for any of the thousands of proteins that make up our bodies. Instead, noncoding RNAs have critical roles in many biological processes—such as gene expression—making ...
Research into chemical discovery, testing optimization and analysis can be a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. With many of the stages requiring manual preparation, sampling, and analysis, this can lead to increased ...
Overconfident chief executives and their risky behaviors can be partly restrained through credit ratings, new research finds.
When a species reproduces, typically, each parent passes on one of their two versions (alleles) of a given gene to their offspring. But not all alleles play fair in their quest to be passed onto future generations.
As fast fashion continues to fill wardrobes and landfills at a staggering pace, new research from the University of Portsmouth suggests that the future of fashion might lie not in fabric, but in pixels.
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed an LGBTQ Student Support Index, a 47-item list of practices recommended for universities to support sexual and gender minority students. Within the context of a nationwide ...
Donald Trump's tariffs will make many things more expensive for his fellow US citizens. The price of imported cars, building materials and some tech will go up—and so will the cost of the food on American dining tables.
