High voltage is no joke, but you don’t need special electrical knowhow or skills to safely replace your light switch or ...

Bacterial fragments called peptidoglycans may influence daily sleep patterns and also affect the brain health cycle strongly.

How do cells know what they should become as the body develops? Biological development depends crucially on spatial patterns: ...

Researchers studying fruit flies discovered that nerve cells sensing limb motion are turned off when the insect moves, ...

In a fruit fly, nerve cells that detect limb movement are silenced when the insect walks or grooms. This on-off switch may help the nervous system to shift between two states: one helps keep the body ...

Scientists have turned an old idea on its head. A new paper reports that stretches of so-called “junk DNA” can help injured ...

A healthy brain maintains a harmony of neurons that excite or inhibit other neurons, but the lines between different types of ...

Researchers have illuminated the neural circuitry underlying fly proprioception, indicating the toggle between stabilization ...

MIT researchers developed a more powerful magnetic transistor that could be used to design simpler circuits and create faster and more energy-efficient electronics.

Apple's slimmest iPhone uses a "revolutionary" battery design that allows the cell to fill more space within the device, ...
