Scientists discover how parasites of viruses drive superbug evolution
In a study published in Cell, scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Imperial College London have discovered a new way by which bacteria transmit their genes, enabling them to evolve much faster than previously understood......»»
Tellurium nanowires show potential for room-temperature ferroelectricity and data storage
A discovery by an international team of scientists has revealed room-temperature ferroelectric and resistive switching behaviors in single-element tellurium (Te) nanowires, paving the way for advancements in ultrahigh-density data storage and neuromo.....»»
New research reveals insights into gender equality in hunter-gatherer societies
A study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour has uncovered fascinating insights into gender roles and cooperation in hunter-gatherer societies. The study, entitled "Bargaining between the sexes: outside options and leisure time in h.....»»
3D fossil scans investigate the origins of bipedal locomotion in human evolution
One of the most fascinating periods in the evolution of the human lineage is the appearance of the first ancestors capable of bipedalism. Knowing the type of locomotion used by many fossil species—walking upright on the ground or climbing from bran.....»»

Census data analysis shows the South had a much higher mortality rate than the North in the US Civil War
A small team of social scientists at New York University-Abu Dhabi has conducted what they describe as a more accurate assessment of the number of soldiers killed in the U.S. Civil War. In their study published in the Proceedings of the National Acad.....»»
Chemists find alkyl groups are electron-withdrawing, challenging a century-old belief

The upside-down capacitor in mid-‘90s Macs, proven and documented by hobbyists
A "copy/paste error" on a Mac logic board has led to some restoration problems. "Am I the first person to discover this?" is a tricky question when it comes to classic Macs, some.....»»
Parasite genome analysis provides a new approach to predicting malaria drug resistance
Researchers at University of California San Diego analyzed the genomes of hundreds of malaria parasites to determine which genetic variants are most likely to confer drug resistance......»»
A fossil first: Scientists find 1.5-million-year-old footprints of two different species of human ancestors at same spot
More than a million years ago, on a hot savanna teeming with wildlife near the shore of what would someday become Lake Turkana in Kenya, two completely different species of hominins may have passed each other as they scavenged for food......»»
Coral adaptation unlikely to keep pace with global warming, warn scientists
Coral adaptation to ocean warming and marine heat waves will likely be overwhelmed without rapid reductions of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to an international team of scientists......»»
Scientists reveal structural link for initiation of protein synthesis in bacteria
Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it into protein. But this step has been a visual mys.....»»
Archaeologists discover 4,000-year-old canals used to fish by predecessors of ancient Maya
Long before the ancient Maya built temples, their predecessors were already altering the landscape of Central America's Yucatan peninsula......»»
Researchers find a possible solution to the cosmic ray muon puzzle
Scientists have a problem with cosmic rays—they produce too many muons at the Earth's surface. Cascades of muons are byproducts of high-energy cosmic rays as they collide with nuclei in the upper atmosphere, and scientists see more muons at Earth's.....»»
