Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there ...

Northern wildfires may be more dangerous for the climate than they appear. Researchers found that fires in boreal forests can burn deep into peat soils, releasing ancient carbon stored for hundreds or ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way scientists discover and design new materials. In a specially invited review published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Tohoku University ...

Science is a subject built on doing. Students learn chemistry through titrations, biology through dissections, physics through motion experiments, and earth science through field observations. That ...

Changes in rainfall within global monsoon regions affect the livelihoods of billions. For years, climate models have ...

Scientists are exploring pig skin to gain a fuller understanding of how this process works. The result could mean uncovering ...

Yes, ultraprocessed junk like Twinkies is bad for you. No, we don’t need artificial food dyes in our cereal. Yes, “real food” like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is as nutritious as it was when ...

Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth’s climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

A study reveals random exploration outperforms focused analysis—shedding scientific light on non-ordinary ways of knowing.

Explore whether economics can be considered a science, analyzing its classification, testability, and consensus within social science debates.

Researchers have been studying tens of thousands of proteins and even more variations without a yardstick to compare their results.
