Phys.org / Antibiotic-tolerant bacteria rely on a hidden RNA-based survival strategy
Antibiotics are a medical marvel, but many microbes are gaining the ability to resist and tolerate these therapeutics. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have uncovered how S. pneumoniae adapts to antibiotic ...
Phys.org / Animals in prehistoric paintings reveal hidden pattern across nine Basque caves
Iñaki Intxaurbe, a researcher at the EHU-University of the Basque Country, analyzed the distribution of images in nine caves in the Basque Country using network-based analysis and statistical techniques.
Medical Xpress / How autistic brains process faces differently
Researchers have conducted one of the most comprehensive studies on how the autistic brain processes faces. Some hallmark characteristics of autism include tendencies to avoid looking at others' faces and to make less eye ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Listening with light—an innovative new technology for studying the seafloor
The seafloor plays an important ecological and societal role. Understanding the processes that shape this environment will help guide conservation policy and decision-making about underwater infrastructure and geohazards.
Phys.org / Why river management is so crucial to protecting one of world's most important wetlands
A major new study led by Swansea University has shown that upstream river management, rather than local rainfall, is the primary driver of one of the world's most important wetlands. According to the research published in ...
Phys.org / How researchers are using AI to speed up drug discovery and development: Q&A
Drug development is among the slowest, most failure-prone processes in modern science, with about 90% of drug candidates never reaching the market. Today, artificial intelligence methods have accelerated the first step—plucking ...
Phys.org / New optical method follows single proteins as they shift shape
Researchers at the University of Twente have developed an optical method that follows the shape changes of a single protein in liquid without attaching anything to it. It reads the protein's structure from its own molecular ...
Phys.org / Zoo elephant survival has improved substantially over 6 decades, international study finds
Elephants living in modern zoos are living significantly longer than they did half a century ago, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports. The research—led by ZSL (the Zoological Society of London) ...
Science X / This citrus‑scented tree oil kept mosquitoes at bay for nearly four hours
Mosquitoes have posed a threat to human beings since time immemorial. They not only disturb sleep by their incessant buzzing but have also been carriers of deadly diseases. In combating the transmission of diseases via mosquitoes, ...
Phys.org / Mysterious gas 'bullets' race from Milky Way's only known helium nova at up to 20 million mph
Mysterious high-speed "bullets"—clumps of possibly oxygen-rich gas traveling at up to 20 million miles per hour—have been discovered shooting out of the rarest stellar explosion in our galaxy.
Phys.org / Nanoparticles could remove harmful immune molecules from blood
The immune system, the body's defense network against infections and injuries, can sometimes become too active. In these cases, it can produce too many immune mediators, fragments of genetic material or proteins that regulate ...
Phys.org / Bee brains reveal how colonies divide work without central planning
What determines which tasks bees perform in their colony? Biologists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and the universities in Cologne and Frankfurt/Main have investigated the role neural activity plays in this ...
