For The Better

Researchers have shown how moderate egg consumption can increase the amount of heart-healthy metabolites in the blood.

Researchers have demonstrated a new, ready-to-use superconducting cable system that uses helium gas for crucial cooling.

Researchers have used quantum computers to simulate spin defects, an important material property for the next generation of quantum computers.

Climate change will make the U.S. Corn Belt unsuitable for cultivating corn by 2100 without major technological advances in agricultural practices, a new study finds.

Young children who grow up with a dog or in a large family may have some protection later in life from a common inflammatory bowel disease known as Crohn’s disease, according to a new study.

The cornea — the transparent protective outer layer of the eye critical to helping us see — produces a delicate and limited immune response to fight infections without damaging our vision, according to a new study.

A team of researchers has found that the tiny defects which limit the efficiency of perovskites — cheaper alternative materials for solar cells — are also responsible for structural changes in the material that lead to degradation.

Emotion-recognition among people with disorders such as Parkinson’s disease or schizophrenia may be affected by changes in the levels dopamine in the brain, say researchers.

Modern anesthesia is one of the most important medical achievements. Whereas before, patients had to suffer hellish agonies during every operation, today anesthesia enables completely painless procedures. One feels nothing and can remember nothing afte…

Scientists found that incorporating sugar units into polymers makes them more degradable when exposed to UV light.

Slashing emissions of carbon dioxide by itself isn’t enough to prevent catastrophic global warming, a new study shows. But if we simultaneously also reduce emissions of methane and other often overlooked climate pollutants, we could cut the rate of glo…
