Phys.org / Missing DNA replication step revealed in first image of pre-initiation complex
Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment has been the focus of a 30-year research question. New work from the Crick has recorded the missing ...
Phys.org / Quasi-1D material unlocks electric control of charge waves beyond standard limits
The ability to control the movement of negatively charged particles (i.e., electrons) is central to the functioning of all modern electronic devices. This control is typically attained using a gate, an electrode via which ...
Phys.org / Indonesia to capture last-known wild Bornean rhino for IVF

Medical Xpress / Gene tied to energy production in brain could lead to new treatment for cognitive disorders
Researchers in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo have discovered a connection between a specific gene and healthy brain function. "The hope is that this discovery could eventually ...
Medical Xpress / Community reservoir of drug-resistant Klebsiella emerges across U.S., analysis shows
A common bacterial strain that lives naturally in people's guts can cause a dangerous or deadly infection for some, especially when it becomes multidrug resistant and causes chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs) in elderly ...
Medical Xpress / Two new medical AIs for diagnosis and treatment decisions are at least as good as doctors, researchers find
Two independent AI models that can assist with multiple stages of patient management, from diagnosis to treatment decisions, are presented in Nature this week. The systems—MIRA (Medical Intelligence for Reasoning and Action) ...
Phys.org / Mountain lions have major ecological impact even in small preserves
Big cats have a big impact. A long-term study showed that when mountain lions began regular visits to a small suburban preserve about 45 miles (72 kilometers) south of San Francisco, they changed the behavior of many other ...
Tech Xplore / Stretchable self-powered sensor delivers stable signals even at 668% elongation
Wearable medical devices that monitor heart rate, respiration and joint movements for long periods without battery concerns, electronic skins that sense external stimuli like human skin, and soft robots made of flexible materials ...
Phys.org / AI-driven optical tweezers sort hundreds of particles per hour without humans
By teaching an AI to use optical tweezers, researchers from the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology have sped up the analysis of life's smallest components. The AI platform captures particles, takes ...
