Perovskite solar is gaining much attention in solar cell research, but there are greener alternatives in the works. Scientists have just uncovered a new use for these materials, learning they can harvest energy from indoor lighting with high efficiency.

When conducting environmental studies in hard-to-access locations, scientists will often set up networks of small data-logging sensors. Deploying those sensors can be hard, though, which is why a dart-shooting drone is being developed to do the job.

Researchers are suggesting antibodies produced by the immune system response to SARS-CoV-2 decline in the months following initial infection. Testing hundreds of thousands of subjects over three months, the study raises questions over long-term immunity.

UK researchers are set to undertake controversial human challenge trials to accelerate the testing of COVID-19 vaccines. The trials will begin by infecting healthy volunteers to investigate how low doses of the virus lead to acute disease.

By understanding the upper limits of the wobbling that precariously balanced rocks have endured in the past, researchers can gain a picture of future earthquake risk, and a cutting-edge new technique could improve the accuracy of this modeling.

In a move that could lead to new innovations in antibiotic production, the genome of a freeze-dried sample of Sir Alexander Fleming's original mold that led to his discovery of penicillin has been sequenced for the first time.

As compared to their incandescent counterparts, LED bulbs are already known for producing a lot of light using relatively little electricity. According to a new study, however, a thin layer of nanoparticles could allow them to perform even better.

Hot on the heels of a recently published genomic study correlating blood iron levels with healthy aging, more research is suggesting high systemic iron levels can be linked with reduced life expectancy.

Researchers have delved into what the coronavirus lockdowns have meant for human-caused Earth vibrations, leading to the discovery of what say is the "longest and most pronounced quiet period of seismic noise in recorded history.

A test detecting metabolites in urine can effectively measure not only the quality of one’s nutritional intake but whether they're on the best diet for their specific metabolism. The test could help clinicians generate personalized dietary advice.

While a gigantic asteroid slamming into the Earth is never a sign of good luck, a new study has shown that the dinosaur-killing asteroid hit the planet at the deadliest possible angle, maximizing the devastating climate change that followed.

Scientists in the UK have tapped 25 years worth of Census data to track the habits and health outcomes of hundreds of thousands of commuters, finding an association between those who avoid daily car travel and a lower risk of early death.
