Researchers target spermidine production to combat emerging drug resistance in Salmonella
Food-borne diseases like typhoid, caused by Salmonella Typhimurium, are a severe threat to public health, especially in India. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has allowed this bacterium to become resistant, posing a major hurdle in treating inf.....»»
Saturday Citations: M87* lashes out; a deep sleep discovery; proposal to build a digital cell
I love it when researchers observe an extra-weird particle, and this week, scientists reported the observation of a particle that only has mass when it's moving in a single direction. Good enough! An ancient DNA analysis suggests that Neanderthals an.....»»
Buried landforms reveal North Sea"s ancient glacial past
An international team of researchers, including a glaciologist at Newcastle University, UK, has discovered remarkably well-preserved glacial landforms buried almost 1 km beneath the North Sea......»»
Crimson Desert mixes fantasy action with pro wrestling, and it rules

Satellites capture dramatic increase in HFC-125, a potent greenhouse gas
HFC-125 is a greenhouse gas becoming a major contributor to global warming, and in the first study to use satellites to measure its concentration in the atmosphere, researchers found it has increased exponentially in the past 20 years......»»
Hydrogen"s dual nature helps reveal hidden catalytic processes
Microorganisms have long used hydrogen as an energy source. To do this, they rely on hydrogenases that contain metals in their catalytic center. In order to use these biocatalysts for hydrogen conversion, researchers are working to understand the cat.....»»
How chemical reactions deplete nutrients in plant-based drinks
Over the last decade, the global market for plant-based beverages has seen remarkable growth, with oat, almond, soy and rice drinks emerging as popular alternatives to cow's milk in coffee and oatmeal during this time......»»
Infrared quantum ghost imaging illuminates—but doesn"t disturb—living plants
A study published in the journal Optica demonstrates live plant imaging of several representative plant samples, including the biofuel crop sorghum. By employing a novel detector, researchers obtained clear images of living sorghum plants with a ligh.....»»
Apple’s mysterious iPhone 17 Air is one step closer to becoming a reality

California researchers find sea otter population helps stop invasion of green crabs
Though sea otters are an unofficial mascot of Monterey County and popular among tourists and locals alike, they are also described as voracious predators that help keep problematic invaders out of coastal waters......»»
Women entrepreneurs who take a scientific approach to decision-making find new markets, study suggests
New research co-authored by Bayes Business School suggests that women entrepreneurs who take a scientific approach to decision-making are more likely to find new uses and target markets for their product or service, making them more likely to transla.....»»
Video: A biologist explains how animals move
For millennia, humans have observed and have been inspired by the ways that animals move. Some researchers theorize that paintings in famous caves like Chauvet and Lascaux, made more than 30,000 years ago, were designed to show the ways a horse might.....»»
iPhone 17 Air reportedly takes the first step toward production
The iPhone 17 Air has reportedly entered the new product introduction (NPI) phase – the first step toward manufacture of the ultra-thin model. Apple is believed to have prioritized a sleek design above feature set for the upcoming model, which m.....»»
Researchers develop faster hazardous spill response method
When responding to a hazardous spill, every second counts—and Purdue University researchers have found a way to maximize that time......»»
New chemical structures show vastly improved carbon capture ability
Oregon State University researchers have synthesized new molecules able to quickly capture significant amounts of carbon dioxide from the air, an important tactic in climate change mitigation......»»
Do animals get jealous like people? Researchers say it"s complicated
It's a question that has puzzled thinkers for centuries: Are we humans alone in our pursuit of fairness and the frustration we feel when others get what we want?.....»»
Scientists call for all-out, global effort to create an AI virtual cell
Noting that recent advances in artificial intelligence and the existence of large-scale experimental data about human biology have reached a critical mass, a team of researchers from Stanford University, Genentech, and the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative.....»»
Dogs walked off-leash cause 20% more disturbance to protected lowland heaths, UK study finds
Researchers at Royal Holloway University of London have used GPS trackers to measure where dogs roamed during walks in lowland heaths in South-East England, home to several protected birds like the European nightjar and Dartford Warbler. They found t.....»»
Floods, insufficient water, sinking river deltas: Hydrologists map changing river landscapes across the globe
A study in Science by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and University of Cincinnati has mapped 35 years of river changes on a global scale for the first time......»»
"Mirror bacteria" could pose serious global health risks
A group of researchers has published new findings in Science Policy Forum on potential risks from the development of mirror bacteria—synthetic organisms in which all molecules have reversed chirality (i.e., are "mirrored")......»»
More precise snowmelt forecasts thanks to high-resolution satellite data
SLF researchers have used satellite data to optimize their models, which they use to predict how much snow there is and when and where it will melt. This progress is important in order to be able to warn of floods and inundations in good time......»»
