The device helps control diaphragm contractions, preventing hiccup-causing muscle spasms.

Horizontal arms dubbed cantils only appear under certain growing conditions—perhaps explaining why they had not been identified before.

Skin symptoms are often the first, or only, symptom of COVID-19.

The chemist refined nuclear magnetic resonance technology, giving rise to the development of MRI.

The hardy animals were pulled from the permafrost in Siberia, giving scientists the opportunity to study how they survive extreme conditions.
