Study finds the protein MTCH2 is responsible for shuttling various other proteins into the membrane of mitochondria. The finding could have implications for cancer treatments and MTCH2-linked conditions.

Scientists propose a new mechanism by which oxygen may have first built up in the atmosphere

Researchers create a mathematical framework to examine the genome and detect signatures of natural selection, deciphering the evolutionary past and future of non-coding DNA.

Using a new robotic platform, researchers can simultaneously track hundreds of microbial populations as they evolve new proteins or other molecules.

Human neurons have fewer ion channels, which might have allowed the human brain to divert energy to other neural processes.

Fossils indicate a communal nesting ground and adults who foraged and took care of the young as a herd, scientists say.

A new study shows oxygenic photosynthesis likely evolved between 3.4 and 2.9 billion years ago.

Geological evidence suggests the known dinosaur groups diverged early on, supporting the traditional dinosaur family tree.

Study shows ripples across a newly fertilized egg are similar to other systems, from ocean and atmospheric circulations to quantum fluids.

Plate tectonics and mantle plumes set the lifespan of volcanic islands like Hawaii and the Galapagos.
