Tiny protein motors in cells can steer microtubules in the right direction through branching nerve cell structures, according to researchers who used laboratory experiments to test a model of how ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The Church publishes the Monitor ...

The first thing any scientist does before performing an experiment is to form a hypothesis about the experiment's outcome. This often takes the form of a null hypothesis, which is a statistical ...
