Princeton researchers have developed a new computational method that increases the ability to track the spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another.

Climate change predictions are not taking account of the full range of possible effects of rising carbon dioxide levels, researchers say.

In 2015, exposure to particulate matter in sub-Saharan Africa led to 400,000 otherwise preventable infant deaths, according to a new Stanford study. The research published this week in Nature, finds that even modest improvements in air quality could lead to substantial reductions in infant mortality in developing countries.

Some people watch the competition carefully for the slightest signs of weakness. Lemurs, on the other hand, just give them a sniff.
