Scientists discovered genetic variants in the Turkana that help conserve water in deserts, but these variants may now raise disease risks in urban settings, early data suggest.

By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position without violating Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

For the first time, scientists visualized how electrons behave during a chemical reaction, which could help reduce unwanted byproducts in future chemistry.

A new study shows that DNA forms coils under stress, not the tangled knots that scientists expected.

When mathematicians revived ignored mathematical structures, they found that overlooked particles, called "neglectons," could complete the quantum computing puzzle.
