Quantum dots are clusters of some 1,000 atoms which act as one large ‘super-atom’. It is possible to accurately design the electronic properties of these dots just by changing their size. A team has succeeded in making a highly conductive optoelectroni…
Researchers have developed a new method for determining which genes are relevant to the aging process. The work was done in an animal species widely used as a model for genetic and biological research, but the finding has broader applications for resea…
Communication is everything — and that applies for algae, too. However, their chemical language and its significance in aquatic ecosystems remain largely unknown. New research summarizes the current state of knowledge and identifies new approaches for…

Keep these important points in mind as the new year approaches.
Social Security can’t be the foundation for a secure retirement since there’s too much uncertainty.
Do you really want to give up that money?
Engineers synthesized aligned forests of nanoscale fibers made of boron nitride, or ‘white graphene.’ They hope to harness the technique to fabricate bulk-scale arrays of these nanotubes, which can then be combined with other materials to make stronger…

New research conclusively shows that certain physical traits of flowers affect the health of bumble bees by modulating the transmission of a harmful pathogen called Crithidia bombi. In particular, the research shows that the length of a flower’s coroll…

A new study by mathematicians shows that math borrowed from neuroscience can describe how swarms of these unique insects coordinate their light show, capturing key details about how they behave in the wild.

A large-scale comparison of direct oral anticoagulants (blood thinners), commonly prescribed for irregular heartbeats, has identified the drug with the lowest risk of bleeding.

The use of ancient DNA, including samples of human remains around 45,000 years old, has shed light on a previously unknown aspect of human evolution.

About 14% of magnitude 6.7 or greater strike-slip earthquakes since 2000 have been supershear. That’s 50% more than previously thought. Supershear earthquakes occur when a fault ruptures faster than seismic shear waves can travel through rock. The even…
