A protein 'tape recorder' enables scientists to measure and decode cellular processes at scale and over time
Unraveling the mysteries of how biological organisms function begins with understanding the molecular interactions within and across large cell populations. A r...
Remote sensing model enables early detection of vole outbreaks in Spanish farmlands
Researchers at the Regional Service for Agri-Food Research and Development (SERIDA) have developed a new large-scale remote sensing model that will enable compr...
In polar regions, microbes are influencing climate change as frozen ecosystems thaw
Microbes across Earth's coldest regions are becoming more active as glaciers, permafrost and sea ice thaw, accelerating carbon release and potentially amplifyin...
Using AI to keep CRISPR technology in-check
Last year, a ten-month-old baby in the US was the first person in the world to have their rare genetic disease effectively cured through the use of CRISPR gene...
Arctic seas are getting louder as ice melts, posing risks: Study shows how to better measure noise
The Arctic is experiencing a steady rise in human-generated underwater noise as melting ice and increasing activity open the region to greater vessel traffic, w...
Software allows scientists to simulate nanodevices on a supercomputer
From computers to smartphones, from smart appliances to the internet itself, the technology we use every day only exists thanks to decades of improvements in th...
Toothbrush-activated powder whitens, repairs and protects teeth
Even with regular brushing, teeth can become stained from genetic factors or consuming foods and drinks like tomatoes and coffee. Chemical whiteners can help, b...
Marine protected areas aren't in the right places to safeguard dolphins and whales in the South Atlantic, says study
The ocean is under increasing pressure. Everyday human activities, from shipping to oil and gas exploration to urban pollution, are affecting the marine environ...
Microgravity rewires microbial metabolism, limiting space-based manufacturing efficiency
Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have completed a spaceflight biology investigation aboard the International Space Station (ISS) that reve...
Swimming in a shared medium makes particles synchronize without touching
Several years ago, scientists discovered that a single microscopic particle could rock back and forth on its own under a steady electric field. The result was c...
Crime victims with neurodevelopmental disorders may experience victim blaming
A recent study shows that people judge crime victims with neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, fetal alcohol syndrome) based on both th...
Stealth and manipulation: Strategies of bacterial plasmids investigated
The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has many health experts worried. As disease-causing bacteria adapt to some of our ways to reduce them, especially w...
