A new study tracking thousands of B cells across more than 100 germinal centers in mice reveals how the system consistently produces highly effective antibodies. The findings overturn longstanding ideas about how germinal
Researchers developed a new approach to treating spinal cord injuries: controllable microrobots delivering stem cells directly to the site of an injury. Spinal cord injuries can have devastating consequences for those affected. Nerve
A new study finds that bilingualism is not powered by separate grammar engines in the brain, but, rather, by a common neural system that works across languages. It’s not uncommon for bilingual speakers
In a Q&A, a researcher digs into how cities can fix their planning systems to address housing crises. Housing in cities across North America has become increasingly unaffordable. Most people blame land scarcity,
A minimally invasive procedure for chronic knee pain is helping some patients find significant relief without undergoing major surgery. For Cynthia Schraf-Fletcher, 74, the results were “remarkably” successful. Nearly a year after receiving
For years, scientists believed Tyrannosaurus rex reached its adult size at around age 25. But a major new study suggests the iconic predator may have taken much longer to mature. According to the
Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney have demonstrated a new way to control tiny sources of quantum light by twisting atomically thin layers of hexagonal boron nitride. The advance provides scientists with
One of the biggest unsolved problems in physics centers on a number known as the cosmological constant. This value describes the energy responsible for the universe’s accelerating expansion. It also sits at the
A new study from Northern Arizona University (NAU) suggests that a major global greenhouse gas emissions database may be significantly undercounting carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles in cities. According to the researchers, the
A new desalination method produces drinking water from seawater without chemical additives. The solar-powered system uses specially engineered black metal to absorb sunlight. Its self-cleaning surface separates and collects salts, instead of dumping
