Genomic changes in the infectious yeast Candida tropicalis may play a role in its resistance to antifungals, according to a study published in PLOS Biology. The work, led by Guanghua Huang at Fudan University, China, and colleagues, shows that these genom

The team led by Delphine Bouilly, a professor in UdeM's Physics Department and director of IRIC's Electronic Nanobiosensor Design and Application Research Unit, has developed an original technique for manipulating and moving graphene, a 1-atom-thick mat

Listeriosis is one of the main zoonotic food-borne diseases, and although the number of cases is relatively low, its high mortality makes it a major public health problem. For the bacterium to cause disease, it is not enough for the food to be contaminate

An international research team from Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Croatia, Norway, Spain and Japan has made a significant breakthrough in understanding ultrafast electronic dynamics, revealing the profound impact of aqueous solvation on electronic rearra

A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from their environment, thanks to a bacterial gene picked up by an ancestor. Gregory Jedd of Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory, Singapore

A research team, led by Professor Taesung Kim from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UNIST, reports the development of a technology that utilizes nanoscale wrinkles formed on transparent films to display or conceal color patterns, such as the tr

Researchers have discovered a new species of the elusive 'fairy lantern' genus Thismia in a hill dipterocarp forest in eastern Peninsular Malaysia

Imagine if a doctor could remotely do a non-invasive, highly precise medical procedure on her patients using a tiny robot, or microrobot. With a device researchers from SMU and George Washington University created, that is one step closer to reality.

Clean and safe lake water is an important part of the Finnish identity. In recent decades, interest in the condition of lake waters has increased. Land use and climate change are creating new challenges for maintaining water quality. Harmful cyanobacteria

Life's essential functions are powered by a set of compounds called metabolites, which are involved in every natural process, including producing energy, regulating cell activity and keeping the body's systems in balance. Tracking these molecules offers

In a study published in Systematic Biology, researchers from Imperial College London, UCL, Dalhousie University and the United Nations Environment Program World Conservation Monitoring Center described how their new simulation methods improve understandin

Fungal infections are on the rise globally. According to a study by the Manchester Fungal Infection Group, in 2022, approximately 6.5 million people were infected by a pathogenic fungus, and about 3.8 million died as a result—nearly twice as many as in 20
