A study of dozens of human traits suggests that genetic architecture may shift at the extremes. People with unusually high or low cholesterol, blood glucose, body size, and other measurable traits may sometimes have a simpler genetic explanation than scientists have assumed. A new study suggests that rare genetic variants with relatively large effects could […]

Two newly described Salish Sea spiders reveal bizarre grooming and parasite-filled lifestyles while helping close a nearly century-long gap in regional marine biodiversity. Imagine diving into the cold waters off the Pacific Northwest coast and bumping into a tiny creature with bright red eyes, hairy feet, and a three-lipped mouth that resembles a miniature Sarlacc […]

A new generation of simulations is uncovering how starlight, gas, and chemistry interacted in the infant Universe. The first stars transformed a Universe made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Their light altered surrounding gas, while their explosions scattered newly forged elements that later became part of stars, planets, and eventually life. Researchers are now recreating […]

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to dramatically enhance heat transfer across nanoscale gaps using engineered metamaterials. Heat can cross a tiny vacuum gap far more efficiently than ordinary thermal radiation would suggest. Researchers have now shown that carefully patterned metamaterials can amplify this nanoscale energy flow by as much as four times, offering experimental […]

A common stomach bacterium may trigger a developmental repair program that pushes gastric tissue toward a precancerous state. Stomach cancer often begins years before a tumor can be detected. During that long interval, the stomach lining can undergo a series of molecular and cellular changes that gradually push healthy tissue toward a precancerous state. Scientists […]
