A virus that kills sleepers

In nature, most bacteria live on the bare minimum. If they experience nutrient deficiency or stress, they shut down their metabolism in a controlled manner and go into a resting…

Glowing COVID-19 diagnostic test prototype produces results in one minute

Cold, flu and COVID-19 season brings that now-familiar ritual: swab, wait, look at the result. But what if, instead of taking 15 minutes or more, a test could quickly determine…

Novel strategy for ultrahigh density copper single atom enzymes developed for tumor therapies

A research group led by Prof. WANG Hui and Prof. ZHANG Xin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences introduced a new strategy to…

Don’t overeat: How archaea toggle the nitrogen-uptake switch

By tightly regulating nitrogen uptake, microorganisms avoid overeating nitrogen and thus wasting energy. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology now reveal how some methanogenic archaea manage to…

Antibiotics highjack bacterial immunity

Molecular defense system protects bacteria from viruses and at the same time makes them susceptible to antibiotics. Bacteria have an immune system that protects them against viruses known as bacteriophages….

Slender shark: Study finds Megalodon was not like a gigantic great white shark

Kenshu Shimada at DePaul University co-authors research with 26 shark experts. A new scientific study shows that the prehistoric gigantic shark, Megalodon or megatooth shark, which lived roughly 15-3.6 million…
