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.

Against the backdrop of a rapidly warming planet, the need to better understand the nature and long-term impact of positive climatic feedback loops — processes that accelerate the effects of warming — becomes critically important.

What we do while we sit matters. New research indicates seniors engaged in sedentary passive behaviors like watching TV may have an increased risk of dementia.
Many bladder cancer patients cannot tolerate the strong side effects of the gold standard treatment. Researchers have found a way to minimize those side effects and are poised to move into clinical trials.
Brushing powdered phosphorus and sulfur into lithium anodes helps keep them from forming damaging dendrites in rechargeable batteries.
Eating pheasant killed using lead shot is likely to expose consumers to raised levels of lead in their diet, even if the meat is carefully prepared to remove the shotgun pellets and the most damaged tissue.
Children who suffer a relapse of the aggressive cancer known as neuroblastoma have small chances of survival. However, a researchers have now shown that DHODH blockers, which are well-tolerated in humans, can cure neuroblastoma in mice if administered …
Researchers have found that inhibitors of an enzyme called Speckled Protein 140 can reverse intestinal abnormalities in mice with inflammation characteristic of Chron’s disease.
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 modi…
Physicists demonstrate how atoms can be pumped through a synthetic crystal without having to apply any external periodic driving. These experiments combine several key aspects of quantum many-body physics in unexpected ways, thus paving a novel path to…
It is well documented that maximizers are less happy with their product-choices than are satisficers, but would this mean that maximizers use their products less? The authors conducted two studies and found that, contrary to scores of studies that demo…
A new study found that the medication combination glecaprevir and pibrentasvir had the strongest association with PTSD symptom improvement among the DAAs most prescribed in the VA.
Researchers are one step closer to identifying patients at highest risk for developing sudden cardiac death — an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes it to stop beating.
New research reveals more information about the Louisiana State University (LSU) Campus Mounds, including the discovery of thousands of years old charred mammal bone fragments and a coordinated alignment of both mounds toward one of the brightest stars…
The UK Government’s current proposal to fortify one type of flour with folic acid is inadequate as it suggests a low dose that would fail to prevent hundreds of cases of severe birth defects each year, according to a new paper.
Brain tumors may create interactions that hide them from the body’s defenses. They can adapt to treatment by recruiting help from nearby healthy tissue. These interactions could be why these deadly cancers recur in almost all cases.
People with serious food allergies face potentially fatal consequences if they’re accidentally exposed to triggering foods. But tests in allergic mice show that swallowing a form of butyrate — a compound produced by healthy gut bacteria — offers prot…
Lithium can alleviate the symptoms of bipolar disorder and depression — if taken in just the right amount. To precisely monitor the amount of this medication in the body, patients must undergo blood tests. But today, scientists report the development …
