At-risk tropical coral reefs could be bought time by limiting the amount of warming experienced by the world’s oceans in the future suggest Bristol University researchers.

Scientists are studying alligators in order to potentially understand how to stimulate tooth regeneration in humans.

The National Physical Laboratory and the University of Cambridge have joined forces in redefining the ampere in terms of fundamental constants of physics.

Scientists have spent decades puzzling over why noncoding DNA makes up the majority (98%) of the human genome, but studying the genome of carnivorous bladderwort plant, Utricularia gibba has offered an unexpected insight.

Studying the gribble, a tiny marine organism that eats wood, has revealed a surprising discovery that may be an important step in the quest for sustainable fuels.

The important mechanism behind the generation of astrophysical magnetic fields such as that of the Sun has been uncovered by researchers at the Universities of Leeds and Chicago.

University of Minnesota researchers have developed a new non-invasive system that allows people to control a flying robot using only their mind. The work has the potential to help people with paralysis or neurodegenerative diseases.

According to the Standard Model, we shouldn’t even exist – but an international team of physicists have discovered that the reason we do may be due to pear-shaped nuclei.

Scientists at the London Centre for Nanotechnology have coupled single atoms to form quantum states by introducing individual silicon atom ‘defects’ using a scanning tunneling microscope.
