An international team of researchers has revealed new evidence for the possible existence of liquid water beneath the south polar ice cap of Mars.
Researchers have developed a new approach to engineering natural killer (NK) cells with a second chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to act as a logic gate, requiring two signals to eliminate a target cell. In preclinical studies, these next-generation CAR…
• University of Freiburg study on vocabulary acquisition uses novel game-based design • Study results: Children of primary school age can benefit from long-term experience with multiple accents when learning words in unfamiliar accents from other child…
Researchers show that powerful hierarchical situations make it easier to commit harmful actions, as agency and empathy are split across multiple individuals.
The first map of the ‘galactic underworld’ — a chart of the corpses of once massive suns that have since collapsed into black holes and neutron stars — has revealed a graveyard that stretches three times the height of the Milky Way, and that almost a…
Developing countries should focus on keeping unnecessary occupants, such as children, out of kitchens during cooking to help reduce their exposure to dangerous levels of air pollution, recommends a new study.
Over the past decades, rising levels of ozone pollution have been interrupting pollination, impacting the livelihood of both plants and the animals that pollinate them. Researchers now explain how an excess of ground-level ozone can damage plant foliag…
