When Fever Fails, Infected Tadpoles Cool Down to Combat Viruses
Fever is widely recognized as a powerful defense against infection. Across the animal kingdom, many species raise their body temperature to slow pathogens or improve...
Scientists infer millisecond protein dynamics from missing signals in NMR spectra
Proteins are often portrayed as elegant molecular machines with a single, well-defined structure. In reality, many proteins constantly shift among several conformations, flickering between shapes...
CXL Scale-Up Fabrics Enable One-Chip-Like Data Center Designs
AI datacenters are approaching a point where adding more processors no longer guarantees faster results. As machine-learning models expand across hundreds or thousands of accelerators,...
Novel Cathode Material Advances Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries Toward Commercial Viability
Storing renewable energy remains one of the central challenges of the clean-energy transition. Solar panels and wind turbines can generate electricity without burning fossil fuels,...
Bone marrow cancer leaves immune cells poorly prepared to defend
A previously underexplored population of immune cells in the bone marrow may help explain why some patients with multiple myeloma or acute myeloid leukemia respond...
Scientists observe antiferromagnetic skyrmions interacting in real time
Skyrmions—tiny magnetic vortices that can be moved by electric currents—have taken a major step toward becoming practical components in future computers and data-storage systems. Researchers...
Physical Fitness Linked to Lower Overall Mortality Risk in Older Adults
A new cohort study of older adults suggests that physical fitness may be a powerful and measurable indicator of longevity. Published in JAMA Network Open,...
Gene regulator reveals new way to control banana ripening
Bananas may soon become easier to manage from harvest to supermarket shelf, thanks to a newly identified genetic switch that controls how quickly their stored...
Silent DNA switches near TBX1 linked to rare heart defect, study finds
Tetralogy of Fallot, the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease, may be influenced by genetic changes hidden outside protein-coding genes. A study led...
New method predicts Buchwald–Hartwig reactions reliably beyond familiar chemical data
For decades, the fastest route to a new medicine, advanced material, or industrial chemical has often depended on a reaction that chemists can perform reliably...
Returning straw helps paddy soils retain more carbon
Rice straw, often treated as agricultural waste, may be one of the most powerful tools available for storing carbon in flooded croplands. An 11-year field...
AI sheds partial light on why some words demand more reading effort
Why Humans Reread Sentences That AI Finds Easy Some sentences seem to glide through the mind, while others bring reading to a sudden halt. The...
Beyond antibiotics, surgical safety culture cuts postoperative endophthalmitis 64.4%
Postoperative endophthalmitis, a rare but potentially devastating infection inside the eye, fell by 64.4% after a hospital introduced a comprehensive surgical safety culture program, according...
Mapping the Fragrance Profile of Herbaceous Peonies
