Democrats are more likely to trust their personal doctors and follow their doctors' advice than Republicans, new research from the University of Oregon finds.
Quantum states can only be prepared and observed under highly controlled conditions. A research team from Innsbruck, Austria, has now succeeded in creating so-called hot Schrödinger cat states in a superconducting microwave ...
Rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs aren't just scenic parts of our landscape—they're also vital engines for life on Earth. These inland waters "breathe" oxygen, just like we do. But a new study led by Utrecht University ...
In evolutionary terms, fitness is defined as an organism's ability to survive and reproduce its genes into the next generation. Genes influence fitness, sometimes competing against each other within an organism.

Four space tourists who orbited the north and south poles returned to Earth on Friday, splashing down in the Pacific to end their privately funded polar tour.
Researchers from chemistry, biology, and medicine are increasingly turning to AI models to develop new hypotheses. However, it is often unclear on which basis the algorithms come to their conclusions and to what extent they ...
A study published in Science Advances has revealed promising strategies to significantly improve crop yields by addressing photorespiration, a metabolic process that can reduce productivity by up to 36% in some crops. Researchers ...
The desert that we see today in Arabia was once a region that repeatedly underwent "green" periods in the past, as a result of periods of high rainfall, resulting in the formation of lakes and rivers about 9,000 years ago.
The life of a plant scientist involves long hours in the lab, thinking up, designing, and monitoring experiments that might tell us something new about how life works. But sometimes it helps to log off the computer, hang ...
