A team of Canadian researchers has reported the first systematic effort to identify and evaluate bacteriophages—viruses that kill bacteria—against strains of the Pseudomonas syringae complex...
Deep learning has transformed the way computers interpret images, and nowhere is that transformation more consequential than in agriculture, where a fast and accurate diagnosis...
In a country better known for its mountains than its fish farms, a team of Afghan researchers has delivered the first systematic look at how...
A shorter and simpler drug regimen could reshape the way chronic Chagas infection is treated around the world. The TESEO trial, a large randomized clinical...
Solar hydrogen production depends on photoelectrochemical devices that can split water using nothing but sunlight and carefully engineered semiconductors. Among the materials competing to serve...
Deep beneath the surface of coastal waters, colonies of a small marine invertebrate called Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus perform feats of regeneration that would make any mammalian...
Melanoma remains one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat skin cancers, characterized by high incidence, rapid metastasis, limited treatment options, and poor prognosis. Now, researchers...
In the sprawling sugarcane fields of the Brazilian Cerrado, the difference between an accurate harvest forecast and a costly miscalculation may come down to a...
For millions of women of reproductive age, the days surrounding menstruation are defined not just by cramping in the lower abdomen but by a constellation...
For more than a decade, scientists have been tantalised by the possibility that tumours carry their own distinctive microbial fingerprints, signatures that might one day...
When a product-search engine matches a photograph of a shoe against millions of catalogue images, or a hospital system identifies a medication from a single...
Sea cucumbers are among the most prized delicacies in East Asian cuisine, valued not only for their distinctive texture but also for their exceptional nutritional...
For decades, the story of memory has been told almost entirely through neurons. The hippocampus, the brain’s seahorse-shaped memory hub, was known to contain ‘time...
Biofilms—structured communities of microbes encased in a self-produced matrix of proteins, polysaccharides, and extracellular DNA—are among the most stubborn threats in modern medicine. An estimated...
A team of quantum computing researchers has reported a hybrid algorithm that appears to bend one of the most stubborn scaling curves in combinatorial optimization....
