Legume-rhizobium symbiosis in root nodules fixes nitrogen to satisfy the plant’s nitrogen demands. The nodules’ demand for energy is thought to determine nitrogen fixation rates. How this energy st...
The proteasome, the major protein-degradation machine in cells, regulates neuronal synapses and long-term information storage. Here, using super-resolution microscopy, we found that the two essenti...

Unusual experiment reveals differences in how humans and bugs respond to the world in motion
You don't need special equipment to enjoy "shooting stars," a clear, dark sky overhead is quite sufficient
Quasar 40 million times the Sun’s mass challenges theorists
The artificial glow of the night sky is a form of light pollution; its global change over time is not well known. Developments in lighting technology complicate any measurement because of changes i...

A new image has uncovered strong and organized magnetic fields spiraling from the edge of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*).
You might think Earth’s deep and rocky interior is relatively featureless but, three thousand kilometres beneath our feet, enigmatic structures akin to colossal mountain ranges rise from the edge of the planet’s core.
Faunal turnover in Indo-Australia across Wallace’s Line is one of the most recognizable patterns in biogeography and has catalyzed debate about the role of evolutionary and geoclimatic history in b...
The activity in the eruption is fairly stable and does not appear to have particularly diminished overnight.
As shown by the accompanying illustration, a solar eclipse occurs when the motion of the moon around the earth happens
Evidence from gene clusters is the strongest yet that these animals, not sponges, are the “sister to all living animals”
