Phys.org / Basic research on Listeria bacteria leads to unique cancer therapy
After nearly 40 years of research on how Listeria bacteria manipulate our cells and battle our immune system to cause listeriosis, Daniel Portnoy and his colleagues have discovered a way to turn the bacteria into a potent ...
Phys.org / A safer, cost-effective solution for large-scale energy storage
A research team affiliated with UNIST has achieved a major breakthrough in the development of cost-effective, large-scale energy storage systems (ESS)—specifically, iron–chromium redox flow batteries (ICRFBs). Known for ...
Phys.org / Fossil evidence reveals how gray wolves adapt diets to climate change
Gray wolves adapt their diets as a result of climate change, eating harder foods such as bones to extract nutrition during warmer climates, new research has found. The study, led by the University of Bristol in collaboration ...
Phys.org / Scientists decipher how two bacterial species cooperate to avoid being eaten
Back in 2021, Pierre Stallforth and his team at the Leibniz-Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI) showed that bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas and Paenibacillus join forces to protect ...
Phys.org / New astronauts launch to the International Space Station after medical evacuation
A new crew rocketed toward the International Space Station on Friday to replace the astronauts who returned to Earth early in NASA's first medical evacuation.
Tech Xplore / Midair haptics and levitation may get steadier with predictable ultrasonic airflow
Acoustic streaming generated by airborne ultrasonic phased arrays plays a critical role in the performance of advanced ultrasonic technologies, including midair haptic feedback, odor delivery, and acoustic levitation. Researchers ...
Phys.org / Stressed couples may benefit most from 'joint savoring,' new research suggests
Couples who spend more time savoring the pleasurable moments they share are happier together, argue less, and are more confident their relationship will last, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers say in a new ...
Phys.org / A 'ring of fire' solar eclipse will dazzle people and penguins in Antarctica
The first solar eclipse of the year will grace Antarctica, and only a lucky few will get to bask—or waddle—in its glow.
Tech Xplore / What is 'AI-induced psychosis'? Study explains how chatbots may sustain delusions
When generative AI systems produce false information, this is often framed as AI "hallucinating at us"—generating errors that we might mistakenly accept as true. But a new study argues we should pay attention to a more ...
Tech Xplore / From flattery to debate: Training AI to mirror human reasoning
Generative artificial intelligence systems often work in agreement, complimenting the user in its response. But human interactions aren't typically built on flattery. To help strengthen these conversations, researchers in ...
Phys.org / Ancestral motif enables broad DNA binding by NIN, a master regulator of rhizobial symbiosis
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have uncovered a master transcriptional regulator that controls rhizobial symbiosis between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. By identifying an amino acid motif that emerged before ...
Medical Xpress / More young adults are developing osteoarthritis—here's how we can spot those at risk before the damage is done
Research suggests young, active people are increasingly being diagnosed with osteoarthritis at much earlier ages than many expect. I have seen its effects firsthand among my own friends. One, a keen marathon runner, developed ...
