From slicing a banana to peeling a potato or washing dishes, most people require little thought and effort to hold and manipulate curved objects.

Researchers in Australia have shown how some stealthy estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer cells can change their programming in response to therapy, dividing at a snail's pace and avoiding detection for years.

Researchers in Japan have developed a new way to produce organic luminescent molecules which produce light, from sky blue to green, with exceptionally narrow emission bands.

Researchers have used genomic data from living specimens and fossil evidence to reconstruct the evolutionary history of millipedes, tracing their origins back nearly 460 million years to long before the earliest known millipede fossils.

Researchers in Australia have found a way to brew espresso-strength coffee using high-frequency sound waves and room temperature water. The approach cuts the energy consumption associated with espresso machine use by 75%.

For the first time, researchers have combined micro-computed tomography (MCT) and numerical simulations to directly observe in 3 dimensions how bubbles form, grow and accumulate on electrodes during water electrolysis.

Last year, NASA's Lucy spacecraft flew past a small asteroid in the inner part of the solar system's main asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

A new study in mice shows that patterns in the ways neurons are wired help coordinate a type of travelling wave which rotates across the surface of the brain.

An off-the-shelf telecommunications device combined with a laser polarisation deciphering model form a new LIDAR system which can measure the location, speed and properties of objects in a scene.

A more than 60% decline in insect abundance since the 1970s has driven insectivorous tree swallows ( Tachycineta bicolor ) at breeding sites in Long Point, Canada to develop smaller body and clutch sizes.
