Phys.org / For Legionella bacteria, taking over a cell means playing by its rules
When it comes to invading healthy cells, Legionella bacteria rely on blending in rather than breaking in. New research from Van Andel Institute scientists demonstrates how a protein produced by Legionella mimics the behavior ...
Phys.org / Mule helps scientists build the clearest horse and donkey genomes yet
A mule has helped researchers build the most complete reference genomes to date for horses and donkeys, giving scientists access to complex regions of DNA that earlier versions could not fully capture.
Medical Xpress / Workout or nap? Either can help your sleepless brain, study finds
A short workout or a nap can help protect memory after a sleepless night, a McGill University-led study has found.
Phys.org / Moving turtle nests to save the eggs can have hidden consequences
Moving threatened sea turtle nests to cooler, safer parts of the beach can save entire clutches from rising tides and extreme heat, but new research suggests it may have hidden consequences for the hatchlings that emerge.
Medical Xpress / 'Teacher cells' coated with tumor fragments train T cells to attack cancer in lab tests
The immune system possesses legions of T cells that, if primed, could hunt down and destroy tumors. Now, a UC San Francisco team has invented a way to do this by combining immune cells grown in the lab with samples from a ...
Tech Xplore / Simulated proving ground trains and assesses AI for actively controlling fluid dynamics
A platform for training and comparing machine learning models to actively reduce drag, improve lift, cut noise and manage heat has been launched by an international team that includes researchers at the University of Washington, ...
Phys.org / New free-space optical link adds a wireless component to the nation's longest quantum network
There's a new lighthouse on Long Island. But instead of shining light to guide ships through waterways, this one transmits and receives particles of light that carry quantum information. Perched atop a seven-story building ...
Phys.org / Rare medieval manuscript fragments reveal Guernsey's lost literary history
Seventeen medieval manuscript fragments have been identified in Guernsey with support from Kent manuscript expert Dr. David Rundle, offering an unprecedented insight into the island's literary and intellectual life during ...
Medical Xpress / Since the 21st Century Cures Act passed, FDA approvals have relied on fewer studies
Since the passage of the 21st Century Cures Act in 2016, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals for new medical products have relied on fewer studies, according to a study published Aug. 26, 2026, in the PLOS ONE by ...
Phys.org / The 'wonder material' graphene can be made using a kitchen blender, a mobile phone and a newspaper
There is something slightly ridiculous about using a kitchen blender to make graphene. This is, after all, the "wonder material" associated with futuristic technologies. You might reasonably expect its production to involve ...
Phys.org / Exact calculations sharpen view of atomic nuclei
Every high-energy nuclear collision leaves behind a trail of clues about the structure of atomic nuclei. Deciphering those clues, however, depends on the accuracy of the underlying theory. Physicists at Osaka Metropolitan ...
Phys.org / Congo Basin study reveals nuanced relationship between people and flooding
In the Lac Télé Community Reserve, a vast tropical peatland in Africa's Congo Basin that is home to about 20,000 people, the forces of climate change and globalization are hitting residents hard. The seasonal floods upon ...
