Researchers have developed a new plastic material that is both stronger and stretchier than current plastics. It can self-heal scratches when warmed, is partially biodegradable and remembers complex shapes that can be restored when heated.

"MiniFlayer" is the first known instance of a satellite virus that does not possess a gene enabling it to access its host's DNA. To do this, it requires help from "MindFlayer", which it attaches to.

Researchers have announced a breakthrough in the field of next-generation solid-state batteries. Their findings may enable the creation of solid-state electrolyte batteries.

In a remarkable scientific achievement, an international team has successfully obtained the world's first high-resolution 3D image of the thick filament in its natural cellular environment.

A material that doesn't just rival the strength of diamonds and graphene, but boasts a yield strength 10 times greater than Kevlar, renowned for its use in bulletproof vests.

High-resolution, time-lapsed images have shown how magnesium ions interact with the CRISPR-Cas9 enzyme while it cuts DNA, illustrating its role in chemical bond breakage and DNA cutting.

A collaborative team of scientists identifies sensory neurons that control fainting. These findings lay the groundwork for the dissection of other cardiovascular reflex arcs involving the heart and the brain.

Velvet worms produce a slime that transitions from liquid to solid in mid-air, and researchers have now uncovered the molecular underpinnings of this phenomenon, perhaps helping to develop new materials.

Researchers have investigated how 3D printing works in weightless environments, aiming to support long-term space exploration. They focused on titania foam, which has applications from UV blocking to water purification.

Sperm can modulate their energetics by regulating their flagellar waveform—how the sperm oscillate their tails—in order to adapt to varying fluid environments, potentially optimizing their motility and navigation within the reproductive tract.
