Medical Xpress / Disrupting bacterial 'chatter' could tip the balance for better oral health
Like all living things, bacteria adapt to survive. Over time, bacteria have been developing resistance to common antibiotics and disinfectants, which poses a growing problem for health care and sanitation. However, many species ...
Medical Xpress / Ancient Arctic adaptations may influence modern disease risk
Over the past 25 years, Greenlanders have experienced a dramatic increase in cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Scientists have already linked their increased risk of these diseases ...
Phys.org / Magnetic nanocultures: A tiny lens into the vast world of soil microbes
An estimated 1 trillion species of microorganisms reside on Earth, yet scientists have been able to study less than two percent of them. Because many microorganisms cannot be cultivated in laboratories, researchers at Carnegie ...
Phys.org / Webb witnesses a feasting supermassive black hole in the early universe
Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a galaxy just 570 million years after the Big Bang. Part of a class of small, very distant galaxies ...
Phys.org / Surface-only superconductor is the strangest of its kind
Something strange goes on inside the material platinum-bismuth-two (PtBi₂). A new study by researchers at IFW Dresden and the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat demonstrates that while PtBi₂ may look like a typical shiny gray ...
Phys.org / Emerald green degradation in masterpieces: Scientists identify the culprits
An international team of researchers have found what triggers degradation in one of the most popular pigments used by renowned 19th and 20th century painters. Using a multi-method approach, including advanced synchrotron ...
Phys.org / Quantum imaging settles 20-year debate on gold surface electron spin direction
Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) have definitively resolved a two-decade-long controversy regarding the direction of electron spin on the surface of gold.
Phys.org / First-ever full Earth system simulation provides new tool to understand climate change
ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, today presented a 26-member team with the ACM Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modeling in recognition of their project "Computing the Full Earth System at 1 km Resolution." The ...
Phys.org / Floating solar panels show promise, but environmental impacts vary by location, study finds
Floating solar panels are emerging as a promising clean energy solution with environmental benefits, but a new study published in Limnologica finds those effects vary significantly depending on where the systems are deployed.
Phys.org / Quantum-centric supercomputing simulates supramolecular interactions
A team led by Cleveland Clinic's Kenneth Merz, Ph.D., and IBM's Antonio Mezzacapo, Ph.D., is developing quantum computing methods to simulate and study supramolecular processes that guide how entire molecules interact with ...
Phys.org / Antarctic ice loss linked to 'storms' at ocean's subsurface
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have identified stormlike circulation patterns beneath the Antarctic ice shelves that are causing aggressive melting, with major implications ...
Tech Xplore / Ultrasonic device dramatically speeds harvesting of water from the air
Feeling thirsty? Why not tap into the air? Even in desert conditions, there exists some level of humidity that, with the right material, can be soaked up and squeezed out to produce clean drinking water. In recent years, ...
