With training in physics and electronics, this postdoc applies lasers and microscopy to advance sensing and imaging technologies.

From a regulatory T cell surprise to a long-awaited honor for metal-organic frameworks, scientists shared their thoughts on this year’s award-winning research.

The ability to detect subtle odors depends on genetics and neuroanatomy. Studying these can offer insights on how the brain processes olfactory information.

Halted training programs, funding chaos, and hiring freezes jeopardize advancement options for early career researchers.

A new bacterium expresses multiple different enzymes that rapidly metabolize carbon dioxide, offering a possible climate change solution.

Unlike traditional healthy versus disease biomarker studies, researchers cross-referenced human proteomes of almost 60 diseases to identify unique profiles.

Researchers built the first cross-species atlas of ovarian aging, showing how cell types and nerve networks may hold the key to extending reproductive health.

Microbiologist Cesar de la Fuente searches organisms’ genomes, including those that are long gone, to find “encrypted peptides” as new antibiotic candidates.

Scientists discovered a novel process, called cathartocytosis, where stomach cells “vomit” out their contents to quickly shrink and repair damaged tissue.

Regulatory T cells, which prevent the immune system from attacking the body, were the subject of this year’s Physiology or Medicine Nobel Prize. How do they work?

Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi won this year’s Chemistry award for stitching together molecules with immense applications including drug delivery .

Options in science are still limited for women, but there are ways to fix it.
