Researchers have identified two groups of genes that switch activity and help cancer cells evade therapy and spread aggressively.
A researcher has estimated the three-dimensional distribution of molecular and atomic hydrogen in a nearby galaxy.
Researchers recognise risky driving situations by identifying important factors leading to road crashes.
Researchers have compared the visual abilities of butterflies and moths.
New experimentally validated model accounts for manufacturing process variations while designing ultra-dense electronic circuits.
There was a time when stars in the night sky were a simile for infinity — one could see so many spluttered across a black blanket that counting them would take a lifetime! Fast forward to today, the night sky is lit not by the moon or stars but by city lights. Indiscriminate use of artificial light — from light bulbs in buildings to sodium lamps on streets to glaring neon billboards — has killed the joy of stargazing. It is estimated that about 83% of the world’s population lives in areas contaminated by light pollution.

Bizarre patterns, vibrant colours, heady scents — flowers present a buffet of choices to draw pollinators. In fact, studies have shown that bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects have particular preferences in the flowers they visit. What’s more, they also tweak their tastes according to the changing environment.
Researchers propose a self-consistent method to explain the charged particle bombardment on the Earth.
Researchers have demonstrated a low-cost digital system to efficiently measure magnetic fields.
