Phys.org / Single-celled organism becomes multicellular via three different pathways
Some single-celled organisms are known to transition to multicellularity during their lifetimes, usually either by cloning themselves or when many similar cells come together to form a larger multicellular organism. A new ...
Tech Xplore / Protecting perovskite solar cells against environmental influences with light-switchable molecules
A team from the University of Stuttgart, together with international researchers, has succeeded in enhancing both the efficiency and environmental resilience of perovskite solar cells. This is another important step toward ...
Phys.org / Turning over a new leaf in analyses of natural products
Scientists have developed a new way to help understand what happens in the body when people consume a plant product and the many chemicals it contains. The Journal of Natural Products published the method to quickly analyze ...
Phys.org / A cosmic explosion with the force of a billion suns went unseen—until we caught its echo
Some of the universe's most extreme explosions leave behind almost no trace. The original explosion is unseen, but our observations can capture the long-lived echo it leaves behind as the shock front plows into its surrounding ...
Medical Xpress / At-home gut health tests yield contradictory results, study suggests
Results and health assessments from gut microbiome home-testing kits vary whether they are produced by the same or different manufacturers. The findings on testing kits from seven providers, published in Communications Biology, ...
Medical Xpress / New study maps what we do and don't know about outcomes for children in care
A new study led by Swansea University has mapped international evidence on the outcomes of children who grow up in out-of-home care. Drawing on 77 reviews, published between January 2013 and July 2024, research, shows which ...
Medical Xpress / Trust your gut to heal your brain: Antibiotics may aid recovery from traumatic brain injury
In a new study published in Communications Biology, Houston Methodist researchers led by Sonia Villapol, Ph.D., found that short-term antibiotic treatment significantly reduced neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration following ...
Phys.org / Scientists lay out what we do and don't yet know about moths and butterflies
Should you ever find yourself playing a trivia game on the topic of moths and butterflies, here are a few facts that might help. Collectively called Lepidoptera, moths and butterflies account for nearly 10% of all animal ...
Phys.org / Tackling the global tuberculosis crisis: An emerging class of antibiotics offers hope
Researchers from the University of Sydney and the Centenary Institute have discovered how a promising class of experimental antibiotics disrupts the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB), paving the way for urgently needed ...
Medical Xpress / New atlas maps how aging reshapes cells across the entire mammalian body
As we age with each passing year, we become more susceptible to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and dementia. Scientists have long focused on fighting these conditions one at a time. Recently, however, many have ...
Medical Xpress / A simple energy molecule gives female mice a memory boost
A team of scientists from the U.S. has discovered that acetate, a simple molecule involved in how our bodies create energy, can significantly increase long-term memory in female mice. The researchers were looking for a direct ...
Phys.org / A new, useful absorption limit for ultra-thin films
The applications of ultrathin, conductive films such as those made of graphene have many applications, but it's been thought their efficacy is limited to absorbing only half of the incidental light at best. A research group ...
