Without clear protocols to catch errors, artificial intelligence’s growing role in science could do more harm than good.

Eukaryotes have linear DNA and their telomeres are hotspots for transposons, which in some cases took over telomere maintenance. Here we identify several families of independently evolved telomeric tr...

A 4 °C global temperature increase would push 7.5% of amphibian species beyond their physiological limits.

The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out what they do.

Insights from probing the shock-absorbing layer within the crustacean’s club-like claw could inspire the design of tough new materials.

From deciphering burnt Roman scrolls to reading crumbling cuneiform tablets, neural networks could give researchers more data than they’ve had in centuries.

Blood vessels in the brain rhythmically constrict and dilate to drive waves of cleansing fluid through the organ.

Theoretical study predicts the existence of particles that are neither bosons nor fermions — and hints at potential applications in quantum computing.

Sir Richard Dearlove said we "have to face up to the fact" that Russia thinks it is in a state of war with the whole of Europe, and that things "could go badly wrong".

New battery lasts thousands of years Scientists and engineers from the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and the University of Bristol have successfully
