Scientists have uncovered how a tiny molecular machine called the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier unlocks the gates to our cells’ powerhouses—an energy-boosting breakthrough that could pave the way for new treatments for cancer, diabetes, and more.
Astronomers have uncovered something unusual happening in our cosmic neighborhood—a small galaxy near the Milky Way is behaving strangely, and no one is quite sure why.
Researchers have successfully created solar cells using simulated lunar dirt, potentially offering astronauts a sustainable energy source without needing to bring heavy materials from Earth.
An astonishing revelation in climate science has emerged: the vast, unseen network of mycorrhizal fungi that spans the globe is responsible for storing a significant portion of our planet's carbon.
Scientists have discovered why insects are drawn to artificial light at night. Their insights could aid in designing artificial lights that won't disrupt insects' natural behaviours, contributing to the preservation of declining insect populations.
A groundbreaking study in Nature Neuroscience has uncovered that monkeys, similar to humans, can participate in intricate deliberation and decision-making processes.
Mountain forests are rapidly disappearing, with a loss of 78.1 million hectares (7.1%) of mountain forest worldwide since 2000, an area larger than the US state of Texas or the country of France.
Scientists have long been puzzled by the fact that despite large amounts of plastic waste being dumped directly into the ocean or flowing towards it via rivers, only a small part of it is actually found there.
Researchers found that some naturally existing lake bacteria grow quicker and more effectively on the leftovers of plastic bags than on organic material like leaves and twigs, according to a study of 29 Scandinavian lakes.
