Phys.org / How a new fungal genome-editing tool could open fresh paths to cancer treatments
Researchers have spent decades—and billions of dollars—sequencing animal and crop genomes, but fungi have historically been the forgotten middle child of genomics, only noticed when they're ruining bread or colonizing toes.
Tech Xplore / PTFE-free dry battery electrode could speed EV charging and extend range
A research team led by Jihee Yoon of the Advanced Materials Research Division (Korea Institute of Materials Science; KIMS), in collaboration with a team led by Insung Hwang of Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI), ...
Phys.org / Newfound family ties link Scythian elite burials across the Eurasian steppe
A new ancient DNA study published in Science Advances provides evidence that political power among Scythian elites may have been inherited through family lineages that extended across multiple burial sites. By combining archaeology, ...
Phys.org / 'Very dangerous' super typhoon nears US Pacific islands
Howling winds and lashing rain battered Guam and the Northern Marianas late Sunday, hours before the projected arrival of a "super typhoon" with force equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane over the U.S. Pacific territories.
Phys.org / One of the most distant 'leaky' galaxies ever found may reveal how the universe reionized
Astronomers have identified one of the most distant candidate galaxies known to leak ionizing radiation—the same kind of radiation thought to have transformed the early universe during the epoch of reionization.
Phys.org / 'This was something new': What people in Greenland told us about learning to live with wildfires
After several quieter years, wildfires have returned to western Greenland.
Phys.org / Light-activated compound kills antibiotic-resistant bacteria by turning its own defense enzyme against it
Antibiotic resistance is becoming an accelerating crisis because of the overuse and misuse of antibiotics over many years. The problem is exacerbated when antibiotics wipe out susceptible bacteria but leave resistant bacteria ...
Phys.org / Mismatched work–life boundaries while working from home can push couples toward breaking up
The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the way people work, making remote and work-from-home (WFH) jobs far more common than ever before. Even after social distancing ended, many companies and employees chose to stick with this ...
Phys.org / Insect-borne diseases in the Amazon linked to land use and rural economies
Diseases spread by insects in the Brazilian Amazon are not randomly distributed but form distinct regional patterns linked to land use, rural economies and environmental change, according to new research led by the Environmental ...
Phys.org / Giant wheat starch granules—a leap forward in biological engineering with potential benefits for diet, manufacturing
Scientists have grown wheat containing supersized starch granules—a leap forward in biological engineering with potential benefits for our daily diets and a raft of industrial applications.
Phys.org / Open cluster NGC 6134 in Norma is 1.38 billion years old and hosts a core, tidal tail and diffuse halo
Indonesian astronomers have conducted a comprehensive study of an open cluster in the constellation Norma, known as NGC 6134. Results of the new study, available in a research paper published June 23 on the preprint server ...
Science X / Carvings of shamans entering rock cracks may link to Siberian initiation rites
In the rugged landscapes of southern Siberia, rare images of shamans disappearing into the cracks of mountains can be found. Hundreds of years old and their artists long gone, their meaning remains a mystery. But perhaps ...
