Watching a metal transform into a superconductor, it may not be obvious that
this transition provides access to some of the same physics that governed the
cooling of the universe following the Big Bang. Yet at the root of both of these...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have determined that a specific gene plays a role
in the weight-gain response to a high-fat diet.
The finding in an animal study suggests that blocking this gene could one day
be a therapeutic...

All the crucial proteins in our bodies must fold into complex shapes to do
their jobs. These snarled molecules grip other molecules to move them around, to
speed up important chemical reactions or to grab onto our genes, turning them
"on"...

Spinal cord damage blocks the routes that the brain uses to send messages to
the nerve cells that control walking. Until now, doctors believed that the only
way for injured patients to walk again was to re-grow the long nerve highways
