Researchers have uncovered genetic evidence of paratyphoid and relapsing fever among Napoleon’s soldiers who retreated from Russia in 1812. Researchers at the Institut Pasteur have performed a genetic analysis of the remains of soldiers who took part in Napoleon’s retreat from Russia in 1812. Their investigation uncovered traces of two infectious agents responsible for paratyphoid [...]

Research transforms understanding of disease emergence and identifies new strategies for agricultural virus surveillance in the U.S. A newly uncovered viral threat to cotton has been hiding in plain sight across the southern United States for almost two decades. Recent research reveals that the cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV), once thought to have arrived only [...]

New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have uncovered five complex organic molecules trapped in the ice around a star outside our galaxy. This cosmic first hints that the stuff of life may be widespread throughout space.

An astronomer in Italy caught a fortuitous image of the bright comet Lemmon seemingly entwined with the glowing trail of a "shooting star."

Astronomers have created the first large scale map of dark molecular gas in the Milky Way, revealing vast networks of invisible star forming material that have so far have remained undetected. Using the Green Bank Radio Telescope to observe faint signals from carbon, the research team has finally started to uncover one of astronomy's biggest mysteries. Their discovery uncovers turbulent flows of gas moving faster than expected and show how raw galactic matter transforms into the molecular clouds where stars are born.
