Large amounts of data ("big data") offer enormous potential for improving the accuracy of genome-wide predictions in plant breeding. Encouraged by successful results with wheat hybrids, researchers at the IPK Leibniz Institute ...
Butterflies' flight trajectories often appear random or chaotic, and compared with other hovering insects, their bodies follow seemingly mysterious, jagged, jerking motions.
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 ...
This week, physicists at CERN reported the transmutation of lead into gold in the Large Hadron Collider, raising the possibility that a Science X alchemy vertical could be on the horizon. An international research collaborative ...
A way to greatly enhance the efficiency of a method for correcting errors in quantum computers has been realized by theoretical physicists at RIKEN. This advance could help to develop larger, more reliable quantum computers ...
Imagine that doctors could precisely print miniature capsules capable of delivering cells needed for tissue repair exactly where they are needed inside a beating heart.
A Classics researcher at the University of Cincinnati is using today's technology to learn more about the mass production and placement of votives in ancient Greece.
American families are struggling to keep up with their bills.
Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies.
Nature is still too complex for artificial intelligence (AI) modeling to be effective, but the tipping point is close, according to a new study that found the technology may still trip at the last real-world hurdle.
