Bit of happenstance, second look at ancient fossils leads to new insights into evolution of tardigrade, one of most indestructible life forms on planet
Researchers at Harvard have designed new, highly selective tools that can add or remove sugars from a protein with no off-target effects, to examine exactly what the sugars are doing and engineer them into new treatments for “undruggable” proteins.
Odontoblasts have a newly discovered function: sensing cold, which can trigger pain in teeth. But scientists have also found a way to block the pathway to cold-sensitive teeth.
Men and women whose mothers experienced stressful events during pregnancy regulate stress differently in the brain 45 years later, results of a long-term study demonstrate.
Images released by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration reveal how the black hole, some 55 million light-years away, appears in polarized light.
A concept for seeded all-or-nothing assembly of micron-scale DNA nanostructures that could extend nanofabrication capabilities and enable creation of highly specific diagnostics.
Harvard researchers have solved a decades-old mystery about how the early Martian atmosphere and climate may have evolved to support periods of warmth and running water on the planet.
Researchers prove they can engineer proteins to find new targets with high selectivity, a critical advance toward potential new treatments to help neuroregeneration, cytokine storm.
A team of researchers has developed an artificial intelligence-based method to screen currently available medications as possible treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. The method could represent a rapid and inexpensive way to repurpose existing therapies.
Harvard’s Center for Integrated Quantum Materials and The Learning Center for the Deaf are working together to develop American Sign Language modules on quantum science topics for undergraduate students with the aim of increasing STEM opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing students.
During COVID-19 lockdown, China saw an increase in ozone pollution despite a drop in emissions from transportation and manufacturing sources. The question is, why?
The first national analysis shows patients at hospitals that offer remote stroke consults fare and were more likely to survive than patients who presented at hospitals without stroke telecare.
Researchers have developed an AI system that can identify the people within a social network who can most effectively promote information about HIV prevention to their peers.
The Star-Friedman Challenge for Scientific Research is ready to provide seed funding for high-risk, high-impact work in the life, physical, and social sciences. Harvard researchers have until March 1 to apply for the funding.
