Scientists computed a zoo of millions of alternate genetic polymer molecular structures, giving context for why biology encodes information how it does, and providing potential leads for new drugs and a guide to searches for extraterrestrial biology.

Anxiety, pain, possible targets of new medications.

New approach allows gravitational potentials to be measured by holding, rather than dropping, atoms.

Scientists have found the partial remains of a 152 million-year-old marine reptile—formally known as a pliosaur.

Scientists measured an important sub-process of the water cycle.

Research suggests that errors resulting from variability in motor function are a feature, not a bug, of our nervous system and play a critical role in learning.

The mystery of sliding on ice can, therefore, be found in the “viscous” nature of this film of water.

A key for the models that scientists use to understand the origin of the universe.

Does Earth’s mantle drive tectonic plates, or do plates drive mantle flow?
