Computational microscopy is vital in biomedicine and materials science. Traditional methods struggle with optical aberrations, noise interference, and differences between physical models and real-world imaging, reducing the resolution and accuracy. They r

Shanghai Jiao Tong University along with multiple collaborating institutions including the University of Copenhagen and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, have conducted an extensive investigation into microbial ecosystems in the deep ocean hadal zone

Greenland sharks are thought to have lifespans that can reach 400 years. University of Tokyo-led researchers have now sequenced the first chromosome-level genome of the Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus), revealing genetic adaptations linked to its

Bacteriophages, the most abundant life form on Earth, infect bacterial cells and influence the structure of the microbial community. To fend off phage attacks, bacteria have evolved their own defense tools, including the most common restriction-modificati

America's butterflies are disappearing because of insecticides, climate change and habitat loss, with the number of the winged beauties down 22% since 2000, a new study finds.

The megalodon has long been imagined as an enormous great white shark, but new research suggests that perception is all wrong. The study finds the prehistoric hunter had a much longer body—closer in shape to a lemon shark or even a large whale.

A new study provides many new insights into the biology of the prehistoric gigantic shark megalodon (megatooth shark), which lived nearly worldwide 15–3.6 million years ago. Paleobiology professor Kenshu Shimada of DePaul University led the study along wi

A University of Oxford study has determined that the widely used tools available to businesses for assessing their biodiversity impacts depend on broad assumptions and can have large uncertainties that are poorly understood or communicated. If used approp

Humans may not be the only ones who aid their friends when they're hurt. Mice may do it, too, as shown by a new research study led by scientists at the Keck School of Medicine of USC published recently in Science.

The way we study plant cells is expanding—literally—thanks to new research from Kevin Cox, an assistant professor of biology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis and an assistant member of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center.

A new study published in PeerJ reveals that the teeth of South American sea lions (Otaria byronia) hold valuable clues about past population dynamics. Researchers from the Instituto de Biología de Organismos Marinos, the Centro para el Estudio de Sistemas

Scientists have identified strains of one of the world's most dangerous fungal pathogens, already resistant to our most effective antifungal drugs, which are also five times more likely to acquire resistance to desperately needed new treatments in develo
