Quinone-shuttling filaments boost energy production in Gram-positive Bacillota
A new study has revealed that some Gram-positive bacteria may overcome one of the fundamental limitations of their cell architecture by building microscopic filaments capable...
Reusable brain architecture enables flexible cognition in mice and artificial recurrent networks
A new study suggests that the brain may build complex behavior in much the same way engineers build sophisticated machines: by combining reusable components rather...
Protein-Foldamer Building Blocks Enable Self-Assembling Hybrid Architectures
A new molecular design strategy is bringing two traditionally separate worlds of chemistry together: proteins, nature’s highly evolved molecular machines, and foldamers, synthetic molecules engineered...
EU Cement Decarbonization Faces Technological and Policy Uncertainty
Europe’s cement industry is facing a decarbonization challenge that cannot be solved by switching fuels alone. A new study by P. Tautorat, D. Sultani, N....
New Jersey Neonatal Collaborative Reveals Growth Disparities Across Intensive Care Units
Premature infants are born before the final weeks of pregnancy, a period when the body normally undergoes rapid and highly coordinated growth. After birth, their...
Global Cancer Genomics Enabled by Centralized Processing of Frozen Tumor Tissues
Cancer researchers have unveiled a standardized pathology and molecular workflow designed to solve one of the most difficult problems in international genomics: turning frozen tumor...
Miniature Soft Robot Actively Regulates Blood Flow Through Blocked Vessels
Blood clots and narrowed blood vessels create a difficult engineering problem for modern medicine. Even when a treatment reaches the site of an obstruction, weakened...
Engineered macrophages programmed to target bacteria combat infections in immunosuppressed patients
Severe bacterial infections can overwhelm the immune system even when effective antibiotics are available. In advanced disease, macrophages—the immune cells responsible for detecting, engulfing and...
Aggregation-Induced Emission Achieves Ultra-Narrow 13-Nanometer Spectral Bandwidth
For decades, the pursuit of purer colors in organic light-emitting diodes has followed a seemingly straightforward rule: make the molecules as rigid and planar as...
New book explores managing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes without drugs
A University of Virginia diabetes researcher has introduced a behavior-based program that aims to help people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes regulate blood glucose...
Natural biopolymer beads offer smart, sustainable solution for wastewater treatment and beyond
Industrial pollution is placing unprecedented pressure on freshwater resources, but a new generation of biodegradable materials could offer a more sustainable way to remove toxic...
Multi-database study identifies cervical cancer targets tailored to tumor subtypes
Cervical cancer may need more than a single therapeutic strategy, according to a new study that combines large-scale gene-expression analysis with laboratory testing to identify...
New Process Turns Wastewater Carbon Negative Through Sequential Heat and Electrochemical Treatment
Wastewater treatment has long been viewed as an unavoidable environmental expense: a system that consumes electricity, produces sludge and releases greenhouse gases while cleaning water...
Scientists Build Living Circuit Boards Using Printed Bacterial Transistors
Scientists have built living circuit boards by printing bacterial cells into carefully arranged patterns, creating reconfigurable biological computers that can perform logic operations without altering...
