Researchers have unveiled a novel immune mechanism by which tandem kinases combat pathogen invasion: an atypical NLR protein, WTN1 (Wheat Tandem NBD 1), partners with the tandem kinase WTK3 to detect pathogen effectors and initiate immune responses, there

A research team led by Professor Sun Qing-Feng in collaboration with Professor He Lin's research group from Beijing Normal University has achieved orbital hybridization in graphene-based artificial atoms for the first time.

University of Manchester scientists have discovered significant concentrations of microplastics in the male reproductive system of sea turtles.

Drugs and other treatments can be quite effective at killing cancer cells, yet many fall short as they struggle to penetrate deep into solid tumors due to physical barriers within the tissue. But in a recent study published in ACS Nano, researchers may ha

Researchers have developed new AI models that can vastly improve accuracy and discovery within protein science. The models could assist the medical sciences in overcoming present challenges within personalized medicine, drug discovery, and diagnostics.

A research team led by Professor Hyung-Joon Shin from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST has succeeded in elucidating the quantum phenomenon occurring within a triangular cluster of three water molecules. The work is published in

As most people who have pulled an all-nighter will agree, lost sleep can leave us feeling foggy and far from our best. In some ways, birds respond similarly, often sleeping longer and more deeply after sleep loss. But unlike humans, birds can sleep with o

A moiré pattern appears when you stack and rotate two copies of an image with regularly repeating shapes, turning simple patterns of squares or triangles into a groovy wave pattern that moves across the combined image in an optical delight.

Aya Goldshtein, Omer Mazar, and Yossi Yovel have spent many evenings standing outside bat caves. Even so, seeing thousands of bats erupting out of a cave and flapping into the night, sometimes in densities so high that they appear liquid, astounds the sci

Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a quantum dot. Just like bumping the tower can shift the blocks and change its structure, external forces can shift the atoms in a quant

Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a cutting-edge AI-assisted 3D food printing solution that combines printing with infrared cooking, paving the way for safer, more efficient, and visually appealing fo

Researchers have developed a new material that, by harnessing the power of sunlight, can clear water of dangerous pollutants. Created through a combination of soft chemistry gels and electrospinning—a technique where electrical force is applied to liquid
