Researchers discovered that neurons from patients with different neurodegenerative diseases share the same pattern of DNA mutations.

Scientists studied sediments from the Mississippi River catchment to determine whether modern agriculture caused more landscape erosion than past glacial melting.

Researchers showed that thawing permafrost reduces the quantity and quality of fish species in Arctic streams.

Scientists used machine learning models to predict the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes in agricultural soil under future climate scenarios.

Researchers compared traditional Aymara weather signs with decades of meteorological data and found that some indicators are strongly linked to seasonal rainfall patterns.

Scientists discovered soil viruses that help legume plants convert atmospheric nitrogen into biologically available nutrients.

Researchers identified trends in extreme cold events that can push migratory animals, such as bull sharks, beyond their thermal tolerance and sometimes cause death.

Researchers discovered a parasitic worm that reduces mice’s ability to feel pain by suppressing the activity of pain-sensing neurons in their skin.

Luca Tonietti speaks about his recent perspective on “Planetary Aerobiomes in Dust- and Aerosol-Dominated Extraterrestrial Environments.”

Researchers developed a fully biodegradable energy-harvesting device that uses spent coffee grounds to transform motion into electricity.

Researchers demonstrated that the first microbes to colonize recently deglaciated soil can extract nutrients from air and rock.

Scientists compared how effective traditional chemical fungicides and newer biological fungicides are in killing the fungus responsible for brown rot disease.

Researchers studied clay deposits on Mars using the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and found evidence for a warm and humid past climate.
