A long-standing mystery in bacterial bioenergetics is beginning to unravel as researchers capture fleeting structural states of a sodium-pumping enzyme in action.

Kitchen sponges shed microplastics, but water use drives most environmental harm. Real-world and lab data show reducing water consumption has the greatest impact. Kitchen sponges may look harmless, ...

Next, the researchers found that a protein called DnrV acts as a drug-binding “molecular sponge.” It sequesters (binds and holds) doxorubicin, preventing the compound from interfering with the enzyme ...

Gut microbiome changes may drive age-related memory loss via inflammation and disrupted brain signaling, but interventions in mice show this process can be reversed.

Researchers analyzing millions of safety reports identified a possible link between a popular obesity drug and an increased reporting of “eye stroke,” a condition tied to reduced blood flow to the ...

Researchers decoded Teotihuacan symbols as an early Uto-Aztecan writing system, possibly linked to Nahuatl speakers and reshaping theories about the city’s people.

A reconstructed Bronze Age loom from Cabezo Redondo reveals advanced textile production, including potential early twill weaving, suggesting a shift toward more complex fabrics and wool use.

Ancient Brazilian communities hunted whales earlier than previously thought, using advanced technologies. The discovery reshapes views of early maritime societies and provides new ecological insights.

Honeybees fly consistent, landmark-guided routes with remarkable precision, revealing better navigation than their waggle dance suggests.

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

A fossil discovery from Alabama reveals a rare and dramatic glimpse into the dangers of Cretaceous oceans, where even top predators were vulnerable.

A new hybrid AI approach may drastically cut energy use while improving reliability. Artificial intelligence is not just changing software. It is also driving a sharp rise in electricity use. In the ...
