A unique hybrid honeybee thriving in Southern California may hold a powerful clue to saving struggling bee populations. While U.S. beekeepers are losing massive numbers of colonies--largely due to destructive Varroa mites--a locally adapted mix of .. ...

Cancer cells are known for their "glutamine addiction," but many can escape this weakness by switching to alternative fuels. Researchers found that vitamin B7 acts like a metabolic "license," enabling this escape route through a key enzyme. Without . ...

A trio of common amino acids may hold the key to unlocking far more powerful gene therapies. Researchers found that adding them to lipid nanoparticles can boost mRNA delivery up to 20-fold and push CRISPR editing efficiency close to 90%. The trick .. ...

Cyanobacteria--ancient microbes that oxygenated Earth and made complex life possible--are still revealing surprises billions of years later. Scientists have now discovered that a molecular system once used to separate DNA has been repurposed into ...

AI-powered personas are becoming so realistic that they can infiltrate online communities and subtly steer public opinion. Unlike traditional bots, they adapt, coordinate, and refine their messaging at a massive scale, creating a false sense of ...

Scientists have discovered that moringa seeds can help pull microplastics out of water, rivaling standard chemical treatments. The plant-based extract causes plastic particles to clump together, making them easier to filter away. In some conditions, ...

Many of the world's largest river deltas--home to hundreds of millions of people--are sinking faster than rising seas, according to a sweeping global study. Using high-resolution satellite radar maps, researchers found that human activities like ...

After two centuries of failed attempts, scientists have finally grown dolomite in the lab, cracking a long-standing geological puzzle. They discovered that the mineral's growth stalls because of tiny defects--but in nature, those flaws get washed ...

Human societies didn't just adapt to the planet--they learned to reshape it. From early fire use to today's global supply chains, our cultural and social innovations have unlocked extraordinary power to transform Earth and improve human life. But ...

Scientists have developed a fuel cell that uses microbes in soil to produce electricity. The device can power underground sensors for tasks like monitoring moisture or detecting touch, without needing batteries or solar panels. It works in both dry . ...
