Although a flower’s bouquet can be composed of hundreds of chemicals, the tobacco hornworm moth needs to smell just a handful to identify its favorite source of nectar, the sacred datura flower. It is the first time researchers have recorded an insect’s brain activity as the animal smelled all the individual chemicals captured from a [...]
Scientist have found that a common family of viruses (enteroviruses) may play an important role in triggering the development of diabetes.

European researchers have made a laboratory-scale photoelectric panel which, apart from fulfilling the function of converting solar light into electricity, solves the problems of integratability and availability that current technology presents.
Children and adolescents aren’t meeting guidelines for fruit and vegetable consumption, according to researcher.

Astrophysicists have discovered a source of very high energy gamma rays in the region of the distant galaxies 3C 66A and 3C 66B. This new gamma emission, observed from the MAGIC telescope in La Palma (Canary Islands) is not consistent with what scientists expected to find, and has resulted in them suggesting three hypotheses to [...]

About one in 3,500 people are affected with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a disease of the retina’s visual cells that eventually leads to blindness. Now researchers have identified a genetic link between cats and humans for two different forms of RP. This discovery will help scientists develop gene-based therapies that will benefit both cats and humans.
