Phys.org / Antiviral soil compound disrupts phage infection cycle before viruses can reproduce
Bacteria also produce molecules that have an antiviral effect. Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and Jülich Research Center (FZJ) have examined the antiviral molecule daunorubicin and decoded its ...
Science X / Hot European summers may be predictable years in advance from North Atlantic warming
A buildup of warmth in the North Atlantic Ocean could provide an early warning that Europe is more likely to experience unusually hot summers years later, according to a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters.
Phys.org / Archaeologists uncover 4,000-year-old evidence of siege warfare in ancient Mesopotamia
At Kurd Qaburstan, an ancient site in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, archaeologists have uncovered the first substantial group of cuneiform administrative tablets found in the Erbil region, along with evidence of large-scale ...
Phys.org / Cells have a secret power line: How the nucleus gets its own private energy supply from mitochondria
For decades, biologists assumed a cell's energy simply diffused to wherever it was needed. It turns out the most important destination of all has a private delivery line.
Phys.org / 80-atom boron 'buckyball' finally steps into nanotechnology's spotlight
The nanoscale world appears to have a new ball to kick around. Researchers from Brown University have shown the first experimental evidence for a "buckyball" molecule made from 80 boron atoms. The new structure is the cousin ...
Tech Xplore / Rising from the ashes, a hidden supply of critical elements emerges
Anuja Tripathi grew up in Kanpur, India, where coal fly ash from a nearby power plant coated rooftops, windowsills and laundry hung outside to dry.
Phys.org / Fossil discovery shows the interaction between giant marine reptiles
Approximately 160 million years ago, during the Age of Dinosaurs, giant marine reptiles ruled the seas. One such creature, an ichthyosaur, swam in a sea near present-day Peterborough, England. This huge animal, shaped like ...
Medical Xpress / Single high dose of psilocybin temporarily restores lost abilities in an 80-year-old Alzheimer's patient
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychoactive compound found in mushrooms of the Psilocybe genus. These mushrooms may have existed on Earth for nearly 65 million years, dating to the asteroid impact that caused the dinosaurs' ...
Phys.org / Dino-killing asteroid may have fueled underground life for 8 million years
The asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs also created an underground environment suited to supporting new life, and new research suggests it lasted for millions of years longer than previously suspected.
Tech Xplore / New OS kernel uncovers hidden Apple M1 behavior and possible Phantom attack
A new kernel (core program) within an operating system gives researchers a cleaner view of what's happening inside a processor. Called Fractal and developed at MIT, the kernel has already surfaced previously unknown behavior ...
Phys.org / California's tectonic stress has reached record level, earthquake model reveals
Earthquakes usually occur along fracture zones in Earth's crust, where large tectonic plates slide past one another and become locked. Stress builds up over long periods and is suddenly released in the form of an earthquake. ...
Medical Xpress / Drug reduces the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, clinical trial finds
A clinical trial led by researchers from Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, the August Pi i Sunyer Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBAPS) and the Institute of Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC) compared the effectiveness ...
