For The Better

Researchers have identified several proteins involved in the progression of melanoma. One of the proteins — PDIA6 — was found to be particularly important for driving malignancy. Experiments with mice showed that melanoma cells with reduced levels of…

Landslides are one striking example of erosion. When the bonds that hold particles of dirt and rock together are overwhelmed by a force — often in the form of water — sufficient to pull the rock and soil apart, that same force breaks the bonds with o…

The development of a simple blood test for glioblastomas (GBMs) could mean earlier diagnosis and more effective and personalized treatment options. Research involved the development of mathematical models to assess the current use of biomarkers in the …

New large-scale research shows that winning does not cause people to cheat, in stark contrast to a previous high-profile study.

Scientists have uncovered the deadly workings of a carnivorous plant.

Researchers have designed smart, color-controllable white light devices from quantum dots — tiny semiconductors just a few billionths of a meter in size — which are more efficient and have better color saturation than standard LEDs, and can dynamical…

Researchers have found that soil decontamination efforts following the Fukushima nuclear accident resulted in constant, high levels of suspended river sediment downstream, but a rapid decrease in the amount of particulate radiocesium. Additionally, the…
