For some of the world's rarest monkeys, the path to survival now runs through a simple network of ropes.

At risk of drowning in AI slop code, Godot is firming up its contribution requirements.

Trap cropping is a pest management strategy where a grower plants an attractive “trap crop” alongside the primary crop to divert pests away from it. We propose a simple framework for optimizing the p...

Abstract. Multicellular fungi have repeatedly given rise to primarily unicellular yeast species. Some of these, including the fission yeast Schizosaccharom

Harnessing the genetic diversity of wheat wild relatives is a promising strategy for developing climate-resilient, high-yielding wheat varieties, accelerat

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Robots may be tropes of science fiction, but they have roots in mechanical devices known as automata that date as far back as ancient and medieval times. Next weekend, enthusiasts will celebrate these...

Steel and recycled concrete composite slabs with equivalent—and in some cases superior—performances compared to traditional ones: This is the outcome of the SARCOS (Steel And Recycled Concrete Slab) p...

Coffee is one of the world's most widely consumed beverages, derived mainly from Coffea arabica, known for its superior flavor, and Coffea canephora (Robusta/Conilon), valued for its resilience and h...

Rumen ciliates are major contributors to enteric methane emissions from ruminant animals, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We present a catalog of 450 rumen ciliate genomes, wit...

MIT engineers developed an atmospheric water harvester that captures water vapor and produces safe drinking water across a range of relative humidities, including dry desert air.

New housing designs that reduce indoor temperatures and improve ventilation can help cut infectious disease and improve health outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa, according to new Oxford-led research.

Although current treatments for autoimmune diseases can effectively control symptoms, they rarely lead to cures and often require lifelong use, accompanied b...

Many Democrats making the switch to politics are motivated by the Trump administration’s cuts to science — whereas energy and AI are a pull for some Republicans.

Abstract. Filamentous cable bacteria are capable of centimeter-scale long-distance electron transport and play crucial roles in the biogeochemistry of aqua

The conventional focus on pore size distribution overlooks the role of surface charge homogeneity in ion separation by polymeric membranes. This study proposes a surface charge engineering strategy fo...
