Researchers have used modified viral proteins to store foreign molecules such as fluorescent dyes inside live cells.

Consuming proteins triggers the release of FIT, which signals fullness to the brain and prevents the consumption of more proteins.

A new study from Japan provides clues into how swirling molecular clouds collapse into stars like our Sun.

Most materials expand when heated; researchers have now found one that contracts by nearly 7 percent instead.

Japanese researchers have discovered two new species of marine worms near the Syowa Station in Antarctica.

After extreme climate change wiped out 85 percent of all species, sponges took over and thrived.

Radioactive carbon trapped in tree rings has helped scientists pinpoint exactly when abnormal solar events occurred.
