Multiple agencies were monitoring an adolescent cub as it sat in a tree in front of Crescenta Valley High School, unable to compel the creature to go home.

Berkeley chemists have created a reusable material that pulls carbon dioxide from the air and holds onto it until it can be stored.

It wasn't the virus.

Our goal is more vital than ever.

"Knowing a little chemistry can go a long way to getting your clothes clean."

Researchers from the University of Antwerp and KU Leuven have succeeded in developing a process that purifies air and, at the same time, generates power. The device must only be exposed to light in order to function.

The time it takes for a leaf to decompose might be the key to understanding how temperature affects ecosystems, according to Kansas State University ecologists. 

Research reveals that kidney and nerve tissue cells can learn and form memories in ways similar to neurons. Our brains—and specifically, our brain cells—are commonly known to store memories. However, a team of scientists has discovered that cells from other

Elephants at the Berlin Zoo display remarkable tool use: one showers with a hose while another disrupts the water, hinting at playful social intelligence and adaptability. Tool use isn’t unique to humans. Chimpanzees use sticks as tools, while dolphins, crows,

MSK researchers discovered that the innate immune system’s chronic activation due to issues in the Mre11 complex can lead to cancer, highlighting new therapeutic targets. In addition to defending against pathogens, the body’s innate immune system plays a surprising role

In a groundbreaking experiment at the Technion Faculty of Physics, researchers demonstrated the transfer of atoms via quantum tunneling using optical tweezers. This novel method, which strategically avoids trapping atoms in the middle tweezer, represents a notable stride toward innovative

An analysis looking at the hand bones of australopithecines, apes and humans reveals that tool use likely evolved before the Homo genus arose.

The Leonid meteor shower peaks in North America overnight from Nov. 17 to 18, with fast-moving fireballs possible in US skies.
