A material that has electrically conducting surfaces has been found to show, when cooled, a type of magnetic ordering that reduces conduction at the surfaces. Such remarkable behaviour could have […]

The past decade has seen breakthroughs in frontiers from gene editing to gravitational waves. The coming one must focus on climate change.

A promising field of research on social behaviour struggled after investigators couldn’t repeat key findings. Now researchers are trying to establish what’s worth saving.

Mendelian randomization offers a simple way to distinguish causation from correlation. But are scientists overusing it?

Scattering between electrons in the material graphene can cause these particles to flow like a viscous liquid. Such flow, which has previously been detected using measurements of electrical resistance, has […]

Feat could turn bacteria into biological factories for energy and even food.

Study in mice shows that a chemical can also improve the organs’ performance.

Ocean warming threatens to wipe out corals, but scientists are trying to protect naturally resilient reefs and are nursing some others back to health.

Meteorologists say international standards for wireless technology could degrade crucial satellite measurements of water vapour.
