Nutrient-driven 'death fronts' may explain why some antibiotics fail outside the lab

In the US, 2020 and 2021 were marked by two events: politicization of public health response to COVID-19 pandemic and false claims about integrity of US elections, leading to US Capitol riot on Jan 6, 2021. These were “critical events” leading to transgression of democratic accountability standards.

Cannibalism may explain why some orcas stay in family groups

A study in mice reveals that two specific mucus-eating gut bacteria (A. muciniphila and B. thetaiotaomicron) cause constipation by breaking down intestinal mucus and reducing gut lubrication, suggesting that targeting these bacterial enzymes could be a new way to treat the condition.

JWST Confirmation of a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole via Its Supersonic Bow Shock. A ‘runaway’ black hole ejected from its host galaxy is barrelling across space — and leaving behind a wake of newborn stars.

The 'Swiss 100' study has identified 37 proteins in centenarians' blood whose profile appears linked to slower ageing

Lithium-ion batteries are integral to our technological lives today, but they have their issues, including fire risk and environmental contamination. Researchers have created a metal-free battery with organic electrodes and a water-based electrolyte that would be much safer.

Loophole found that makes quantum cloning possible

Researchers engineer bacteria capable of consuming tumours from the inside out. Bacteria spores enter the tumour, finding an environment where there are lots of nutrients and no oxygen, which this organism prefers, and so it starts eating those nutrients and growing in size.
