Investigators have discovered how a drug for multiple sclerosis interacts with its targets, a finding that may pave the way for better treatments.

Sightings of more than 1 million marine mammals in the federally protected Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument and sites along the Atlantic Coast have been used to identify areas of high marine mammal diversity. These findings unde…

Researchers reveal a new fibril in diseased brains, one formed by a protein normally busy cleaning cells.

Physicists have leveraged quantum information theory techniques to reveal a mechanism for amplifying, or ‘stimulating,’ the production of entanglement in the Hawking effect in a controlled manner. Furthermore, these scientists propose a protocol for te…

Researchers have reported a new protein-design strategy to sidestep the Irving-Williams Series, allowing proteins to behind to other metals ahead of copper.

A single DNA test has been developed that can screen a patient’s genome for over 50 genetic neurological and neuromuscular diseases such as Huntington’s disease, muscular dystrophies and fragile X syndrome. The new test avoids a ‘diagnostic odyssey’ fo…

Researchers have developed a new fluorescent label that gives a clearer picture of how DNA architecture is disrupted in cancer cells. The findings could improve cancer diagnoses for patients and classification of future cancer risk.

While many physics instructors are beginning to incorporate lessons on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom, it can often feel like an add-on rather than an integral component of becoming a physicist. Scientists are helping to change this …

For years, surgery for patients with stage III melanoma — melanoma that has spread to the lymph nodes — involved removing those lymph nodes along with the primary tumor. Known as completion lymph node dissection (CLND), the surgery was meant to ensur…

Researchers have mapped magnetic fields in three dimensions, a major step toward solving what they call the ‘grand challenge’ of revealing 3D magnetic configuration in magnetic materials. The work has implications for improving diagnostic imaging and c…

Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists are using artificial intelligence to set a new world record for producing algae as a reliable, economic source for biofuel that can be used as an alternative fuel source for jet aircraft and other transportation n…

Researchers found upstream forests’ increased water consumption during droughts could leave less water downstream for forests, cities and wildlife during drought.

A high-fat diet is not enough to cause short-term fatty liver disease. However, if this diet is combined with the intake of beverages sweetened with liquid fructose, the accumulation of fats in the liver accelerates and hypertriglyceridemia — a cardio…
