Phys.org / TriPcides target MRSA, suppress infection and kill dormant bacteria to open a new front against antibiotic resistance

In a new study, researchers show how so‑called TriPcides can target the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, including antibiotic‑resistant strains such as MRSA. The compounds disrupt the bacteria's ability to cause infection ...

Tech Xplore / Open-source framework lets drones dodge obstacles in milliseconds while minimizing travel time

In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs) could fly through a collapsed building to map the scene, giving rescuers information they need to quickly reach survivors. But this remains an ...

Medical Xpress / Why brain cells learn better: NMDA receptor maps may explain memory-linked calcium flow

The human brain constantly adapts in response to experiences, forming new connections between neurons and reorganizing existing ones. The brain's ability to adapt in response to experiences is known as neuroplasticity.

Tech Xplore / Custom device maps carbon capture reactions in real time

Removing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air, a process called direct air capture (or DAC), is one of several approaches being developed to help reduce the concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Among ...

Phys.org / The worst climate future is less likely, but the best one is slipping away, scientists say

Scientists are jettisoning their worst and best case scenarios for a warming world as no longer plausible. That shows how modest gains in the fight to curb climate change have dialed back the most catastrophic of future heating ...

Science X / The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs may have triggered a global fungal bloom

The asteroid that smacked into our planet about 66 million years ago at the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary may have been bad news for dinosaurs, but it was good news for fungi. According to new research published in ...

Medical Xpress / Protecting the brain: How clumps of protein might actually be saving your cells

What if the very structures we thought were destroying the brain are actually trying to save it? A new study reveals that protein clumps, long considered toxic markers of diseases like Huntington's, act as a vital "quarantine" ...

Medical Xpress / Tracking tiny facial movements could offer a more objective way to measure pain

Researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick are working to measure pain more accurately beyond the single, subjective question patients are often asked: "On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad is your pain?"

Phys.org / New form of NAND flash data storage for deep space missions can survive 1 million rads

As space missions travel farther from Earth, spacecraft must increasingly be able to process and store their own data. Soon, artificial intelligence (AI) could be the primary tool for handling this growing volume of information.

Phys.org / New shell helps gold nanoparticles keep shape under laser heat longer

Gold nanoparticles, which are about one-thousandth the width of a human hair, can convert light they receive from a laser into heat. This capacity, known in medicine as photothermal therapy, is effective at destroying cancer ...
