Fungal pathogens remain a significant cause of disease in humans and animals, especially as antifungal resistance rises and vulnerable patient populations ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Some bacteria can take a punch that would crush a submarine. In a new set of impact tests, one desert microbe, Deinococcus ...

Our bodies are home to millions of fungi that, for the most part, are completely harmless. However, they can sometimes change ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.

Fruit softening is a defining trait of ripening, yet the molecular processes that control texture remain incompletely ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...

Researchers at the University of Osaka have developed a highly transparent material made entirely from natural wood without adding plastic and uncovered why some wood becomes clearer than others.

If you're considering a memory foam mattress, turn to this guide — as well as real customer feedback — to help you decide ...
