Biological network in cells helps body adapt to stresses on health
Scientists have done research that opens up a whole new world within our cells. Their study uncovers a vast network of interactions that assist cells in adjusting in real time to withstand stresses on our health.
Switching to hydrogen fuel could prolong the methane problem
Hydrogen is often heralded as the clean fuel of the future, but new research suggests that leaky hydrogen infrastructure could end up increasing atmospheric methane levels, which would cause decades-long climate consequences.
The immune system does battle in the intestines to keep bacteria in check
Researchers sheds light on a face-off in the intestines between the immune system and a bacterial pathogen whose family members cause gastrointestinal disease and the plague. The team’s insights may extend to other chronic infections and could inform t…
Agriculture needs fresh approach to tackle insect resistance to biopesticides, new analysis finds
Insect pests which attack crops have extraordinary powers to develop resistance to greener pesticides and a new way to manage resistance risks is needed, according to a recent analysis.
Researchers develop new technology to easily detect active TB
A team of faculty has discovered new technology that will quickly and easily detect active Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection antibodies.
Research highlights gender bias persistence over centuries
Using archaeological findings and survey data on contemporary gender attitudes, political scientists find individuals who live in areas that historically favored men over women display more pro-male bias today than those who live in places where gender…
Swan populations grow 30 times faster in nature reserves
Populations of whooper swans grow 30 times faster inside nature reserves, new research shows.
Researchers find decaying biomass in Arctic rivers fuels more carbon export than previously thought
A new study found that plants and small organisms in Arctic rivers could be responsible for more than half the particulate organic matter flowing to the Arctic Ocean. That’s a significantly greater proportion than previously estimated, and it has impli…
A new and better way to create word lists
Word lists are the basis of so much research in so many fields. Researchers have now developed an algorithm that can be applied to different languages and can expand word lists significantly better than others.
Magnetism fosters unusual electronic order in quantum material
Physicists have published an array of experimental evidence showing that the ordered magnetic arrangement of electrons in crystals of iron-germanium plays an integral role in bringing about an ordered electronic arrangement called a charge density wave…
