Researchers discovered a proton-assisted mechanism that greatly improves how triplet energy moves between quantum dots and nearby molecules. The proton briefly shifts position, helps coordinate electron movement, and then returns to where it started. ...

Scientists have found a way to revive vancomycin, a powerful antibiotic that some dangerous bacteria have learned to resist. Instead of creating an entirely new drug, researchers paired vancomycin with a small molecule called pghi-4, which blocks a . ...

Researchers are applying evolutionary theory to cancer by changing treatments before tumors have time to develop resistance. Mathematical models suggest that rapid, carefully timed switches between multiple therapies could improve cure rates.

A single dose of psilocybin produced measurable changes in brain activity and possible changes in brain structure that lasted for up to a month. Participants who experienced the greatest increase in flexible, varied brain activity also reported more ...

China's Chang'e-6 samples have uncovered a surprising difference between the Moon's two hemispheres. Solar wind particles penetrated deeper into the far-side soil because Earth's magnetosphere slows the particles that reach the near side. Noble gases ...

Astronomers have found the first confirmed atmosphere around a rocky planet in another star's habitable zone. The planet, LHS 1140 b, revealed its atmosphere through helium slowly leaking into space. Located 48 light-years away, the world may have .. ...

Ancient DNA from China's vast 4,000-year-old Shimao settlement is revealing how one of East Asia's earliest complex societies was organized. Researchers found that its people were largely descended from local Yellow River farming communities, but ...

A newly discovered turning point in the Sun's 11-year cycle could allow scientists to predict future solar activity years earlier than before. At this "switch-off" point, the most violent space weather abruptly ends, and the remaining number of ...

Scientists studying decades of pygmy sperm whale strandings have uncovered three previously unknown types of Helicobacter bacteria hiding in the animals' stomachs. All four infected whales showed serious digestive damage, including inflammation, ...

Scientists uncovered how influenza A commandeers human cells, including a surprising strategy that dissolves tiny structures in the nucleus and releases proteins the virus may use to reproduce. The detailed molecular map could reveal new drug targets ...
