7+ hour, 18+ min ago   (417+ words) Physicists have uncovered an in-plane Hall response that overturns a century-old assumption about how this famous electrical effect works. The discovery could eventually make multidirectional magnetic sensing possible with one tiny device....

15+ hour, 29+ min ago   (509+ words) A mysterious signal deep underground may offer LUX-ZEPLIN its most intriguing clue to dark matter yet. For nearly a century, scientists have been trying to identify dark matter, the mysterious material believed to account for about 85% of all matter in…...

2+ day, 7+ hour ago   (429+ words) New findings raise questions about the role of microbes living in the lungs. More than 35 trillion bacteria live throughout the human body, forming microbiomes in the gut, mouth, lungs, skin, and urogenital tract. Researchers increasingly recognize that these microbial communities…...

2+ day, 11+ hour ago   (763+ words) Ancient meteorite minerals reveal a surprisingly strong magnetic field from the solar system’s first 200,000 years. About 4.6 billion years ago, before the Sun and planets existed in their familiar forms, the solar system was a vast cloud of gas and dust....

2+ day, 12+ hour ago   (608+ words) Chang’e-6 samples suggest the Moon’s two very different sides may have formed when uneven heating drove magma from one hemisphere to the other. The Moon presents two dramatically different faces. Its Earth-facing hemisphere is rich in dark volcanic plains, while…...

3+ day, 10+ hour ago   (356+ words) An unusual immune signature in lung cancer has led researchers toward a potential therapy involving tumor microbes and MAIT cells. Bacteria living inside lung tumors may be doing more than simply occupying the tumor environment. In preclinical research from the…...

3+ day, 14+ hour ago   (553+ words) Solar system simulations starting from varied initial conditions suggest that Earth-like planets can emerge naturally from planet formation. Computer simulations of planetary systems can now begin from thousands of different starting conditions, allowing researchers to explore how worlds might emerge…...

4+ day, 3+ hour ago   (752+ words) MIT researchers have engineered bacteria to behave like transistors, making it possible to build living “circuit boards” that can be printed onto growth material in a Petri dish. In conventional electronics, transistors act as switches that control whether electrical current…...

4+ day, 16+ hour ago   (745+ words) A bacterial molecule called gladiolin can disarm invasive Candida albicans and strengthen the effects of a major antifungal drug. The findings were published in Current Biology, and emerged from the Monash Warwick Alliance Programme in Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), a long-term…...
