Superhydrophobic surfaces have a range of applications in biotechnology and medicine thanks to their ability to stay dry, keep clean and avoid biofouling. Their water-repellent properties come from ...

Our ability to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on the rich diversity of cell types that make up the human brain. Uncovering the molecular and cellular events ...

Helena Kuoppala gets to work early to tend to a herd of dairy cows, exploring how dietary changes affect their health, milk yields and methane emissions.

Ground-based robots have potential for helping in the construction industry, but they are limited by their height. In this week’s issue, Mirko Kovac, Robert Stuart-Smith and their colleagues introduce ...

Since its initial release in 2018, the AI tool AlphaFold and its 2021 update AlphaFold 2 have sparked a biological revolution, allowing researchers to predict and model the 3D structures of proteins.

An assessment of death rates in India’s coastal megacity of Mumbai reveals the impact of rain, high tides and flooding. Climate change will probably exacerbate the effects.
