A light-sensitive crystal is opening the door to a new era of "light-written" technology. Arsenic trisulfide can be reshaped and permanently altered using simple light, creating ultra-fine optical patterns without expensive manufacturing tools. ...

Scientists have unveiled a breakthrough imaging method that can capture the hidden details of events unfolding in trillionths of a second. This new technique doesn't just track how bright something is--it also reveals subtle structural changes that . ...

A major discovery is reshaping how scientists think about catalysts. Researchers have, for the first time, captured oxygen atoms moving through the interior of a catalyst--not just along its surface. This reveals that the bulk material can actively . ...

A key protein, HOXD13, helps melanoma tumors grow and evade the immune system by boosting blood supply and blocking cancer-fighting T cells. Disabling it shrinks tumors and reopens the door for the immune system--offering a new path for treatment.

A popular Korean skincare ingredient may be far more powerful than anyone realized. Scientists have discovered that madecassic acid--derived from the herb Centella asiatica--can stop antibiotic-resistant bacteria in their tracks, including dangerous ...

Scientists at UC Riverside have found a clever new way to outsmart termites--by turning their own instincts against them. Using a natural pine scent called pinene, which smells like food to termites, researchers can lure the pests straight toward a . ...

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 ...
