The discovery of a protein regulator of our circadian rhythm could offer a new way to treat jet lag and other disorders related to our body clock.

Researchers studied ancient iron-oxidizing bacteria to understand their role in Earth's early iron formations. The study found that nitrate-reducing bacteria produced toxic nitrogen monoxide, hindering phototrophic iron oxidizers.

A study employs fluorescent tags to distinguish antibiotic-resistant bacteria within colonies. By linking bacterial survival strategies to specific tag choices.

A new, non-invasive method uses light to activate neurons in the brain, potentially transforming deep brain stimulation treatment for Parkinson's and other neurological conditions.

A study has identified living microbes in 2-billion-year-old rock from the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa. This discovery, confirmed through advanced imaging techniques, could enhance understanding of early life on Earth.

Researchers found that an O-methylflavone compound from African wormwood can kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis in both active and dormant states. While preliminary, these findings suggest a promising direction for new tuberculosis therapies.

Nanoporous membranes with atomic-scale holes have powerful potential for decontaminating polluted water, and a new generation method could accelerate this technology.

An array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of cells without damaging the membrane could open new possibilities in gene therapy.

Researchers at McGill University have made a significant advance in all-solid-state lithium batteries by creating a polymer-filled porous membrane. This design addresses interfacial resistance between the ceramic electrolyte and electrodes.

A study of European green and blue tattoo inks revealed that 9 out of 10 inks violated EU regulations by containing unlisted and banned substances. The researchers stress the need for better manufacturing standards.
