In 1869, Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher isolated a mysterious substance from cell nuclei—an overlooked finding that would ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have uncovered a master transcriptional regulator that controls rhizobial symbiosis ...

Electrical cables, garden hoses and strands of holiday lights seem to get themselves hopelessly tangled with no help at all. Research at the University of California, San Diego shows how knots form.

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

An international collaborative research team, including scientists from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), has discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific ...
