Cooling speeds up electrons in bacterial nanowires
The ground beneath our feet and under the ocean floor is an electrically-charged grid, the product of bacteria "exhaling" excess electrons through tiny nanowires in an environment lacking oxygen......»»
How microhabitat affects bacterial communities in a semi-arid ecosystem
Known as the living skin of dryland ecosystems, biocrust contains diverse soil microorganisms that are essential to biocrust formation and the maintenance of multiple ecological functions......»»
Study discovers pairing of electrons in artificial atoms, a quantum state predicted more than 50 years ago
Researchers from the Department of Physics at Universität Hamburg, observed a quantum state that was theoretically predicted more than 50 years ago by Japanese theoreticians but so far eluded detection. By tailoring an artificial atom on the surface.....»»
Beneficial bacteria sense gut mucus to stay in the right place, at the right time
Beneficial gut bacteria actively sense the mucus lining of the gut, using this information as a guide to stay in their proper place, new research from the University of Oregon shows. Breakdowns in that communication can lead to abnormal bacterial beh.....»»
Quantum question about the anomalous Hall effect answered
A mysterious magnetic effect that causes the path that electrons take through a material to bend—called the anomalous Hall effect—has been elucidated in a new mathematical analysis by two RIKEN physicists. Their work has been published in the jou.....»»
Three iPhone 15 models rumored to get Thunderbolt/USB4 connector
Yet more leaked images of USB-C components for the iPhone 15 range appear to show that at least three models will have full Thunderbolt speeds.Render of the expected iPhone 15 Pro chassis design. (Source: AppleInsider)If the long-running rumors that.....»»
Mystery iPhone 15 chip could spell bad news for USB-C charging speeds
New iPhone 15 images suggest that Apple will include a specially-designed chip in its USB-C ports......»»
Throwing shade: Model maps NYC street trees" cooling benefits
Cornell researchers' "leaf-level" visualization of every tree in New York City—and how much shade each provides—could inform new strategies for mitigating extreme heat there, and in other cities coping with record-breaking temperatures......»»
Air pollution linked with global rise in antibiotic resistance
Antibiotic resistance is a growing threat to global health. In 2019, it caused more than 1.27 million deaths worldwide—and it's projected that antimicrobial resistance (which includes bacterial resistance to antibiotics) may contribute to 10 millio.....»»

How a massive North Atlantic cooling event disrupted early human occupation in Europe
A new study published in the journal Science finds that around 1.12 million years ago a massive cooling event in the North Atlantic and corresponding shifts in climate, vegetation and food resources disrupted early human occupation of Europe......»»
Mechanism underlying bacterial resistance to the antibiotic albicidin revealed
A new analysis shows that infectious bacteria exposed to the antibiotic albicidin rapidly develop up to a 1,000-fold increase in resistance via a gene amplification mechanism. Mareike Saathoff of Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, and colleagues pre.....»»
Demon hunting: Physicists confirm 67-year-old prediction of massless, neutral composite particle
In 1956, theoretical physicist David Pines predicted that electrons in a solid can do something strange. While they normally have a mass and an electric charge, Pines asserted that they can combine to form a composite particle that is massless, neutr.....»»
New research shows the complexity of bacterial circadian clocks
Bacteria make up more than 10% of all living things but until recently we had little realization that, as in humans, soil bacteria have internal clocks that synchronize their activities with the 24-hour cycles of day and night on Earth......»»
ESR launches first 15W multi-device MagSafe charging stands alongside new car mount [Deal]
ESR today is expanding its lineup of MagSafe accessories with some of its very first offerings that pack true 15W charging speeds for iPhone 14 and the rest of your Apple kit. Well timed to debut ahead of all the new Apple smartphones next month, the.....»»
"City killers" and half-giraffes: How many scary asteroids really go past Earth every year?
Asteroids are chunks of rock left over from the formation of our solar system. Approximately half a billion asteroids with sizes greater than four meters in diameter orbit the sun, traveling through our solar system at speeds up to about 30 kilometer.....»»
Current takes a surprising path in quantum material
Cornell researchers have used magnetic imaging to obtain the first direct visualization of how electrons flow in a special type of insulator, and by doing so they discovered that the transport current moves through the interior of the material, rathe.....»»
Rapid infection test in dogs could curb antibiotic resistance
Scientists have developed a new way to rapidly diagnose bacterial infections in dogs, enabling testing and treatment with appropriate antibiotics on the same day......»»
Examining the power of host social interactions in bacterial evolution
Previous studies in humans and animals have shown that hosts in a social condition (sharing the same space) harbor a more similar microbiota composition. Microbial transmission between hosts, which is increased when living in the same household, lead.....»»
North Atlantic Oscillation contributes to "cold blob" in Atlantic Ocean
A patch of ocean in the North Atlantic is stubbornly cooling while much of the planet warms. This anomaly—dubbed the "cold blob"—has been linked to changes in ocean circulation, but a new study found changes in large-scale atmospheric patterns ma.....»»
"Andreev chemistry" on a nanowire: Researchers generate superconducting pair states separated by grown barriers
Researchers at the University of Basel and Lund University have generated superconducting pair states of electrons on several segments of a nanowire, separated by grown barriers. Depending on the height of the barriers, these pair states can be coupl.....»»
