Smart hydrogel packaging reveals whether food is still fresh
A new “smart” food-packaging material developed by researchers at Kyushu University can change color as meat begins to spoil—and repair itself after being cut. The...
Scientists Create Quantum Entanglement Using Sunlight
A new experiment has shown that sunlight, rather than a power-hungry laser, can generate entangled photons—particles of light whose properties remain mysteriously linked even when...
Stanford Surgeon Wins NIH Grant for Intraoperative Lung Cancer Imaging Agent
Lung cancer remains the world’s leading cause of cancer-related death, yet even when a tumor is detected early enough for surgery, removing it completely can...
Mushrooms could soon help create your next handbag
A handbag grown from fungus could offer a new route beyond both animal leather and petroleum-based vegan alternatives. Researchers in Finland have developed a mycelium-based...

Oviduct Epithelial Folds Aid Oocyte Transport but Aren’t Essential
After ovulation, an egg begins a carefully timed journey through the oviduct, also known as the Fallopian tube, toward the uterus. Fertilization normally takes place...
Plasma pTau217 Shows Diagnostic Performance Across Genetically Admixed South American Populations
A blood test linked to one of Alzheimer’s disease’s most closely watched molecular signals is moving into a population rarely represented in biomarker research. A...
China’s Solar Manufacturers Time Decarbonization Efforts to Accelerate the Global Energy Transition
China’s photovoltaic industry may hold one of the most consequential timing decisions in the global energy transition: when, exactly, should solar manufacturers intensify their own...
How Metabolism and Epigenetics Shape Immune Cell Flexibility in Tumors
Cancer does not merely grow around immune cells; it continually rewires them. A review by J. Noh, J. Lee, C. You and colleagues examines how...
Diverse bacterial DNA glycosylases share a conserved antiviral defense function
Bacteria are engaged in a perpetual molecular arms race with bacteriophages, the viruses that infect them. Phages inject genetic material into bacterial cells and redirect...
Neuroligin-3–CSPG4 mechanotransduction preserves oligodendrocyte progenitors and promotes glioma growth
A molecular handshake between a neuronal adhesion protein and a cell-surface receptor may help explain why some brain tumors behave less like isolated masses and...
JmjC1 Controls Virulence Genes Linked to Severe Malaria in Plasmodium falciparum
Malaria research has long focused on the parasite’s ability to invade red blood cells, evade immune defenses and alter the biology of its human host....
Platinum Emerges as a Key Catalyst for Future Clean-Energy Technologies
