In its purest form (with no extra debris), liquid water can exist as a liquid until -40°C if left still (unmoving). In order ...

A study has found that certain fungi can trigger water to freeze, offering fresh insight into how microscopic life influences the atmosphere.

Gene and cell therapy is moving fast – and in a clear direction. Programs are pushing toward more complex payloads, virus-free engineering, and manufacturing models that can scale from early research ...

Antibiotic resistance is widely linked to antibiotic misuse, yet growing evidence suggests that everyday environmental ...

Can fungi influence the weather? Turns out, they just might. An international group of researchers that includes Virginia ...

Credit: Boris Vinatzer Fungi may hold a little-known key to ice formation in clouds. Can fungi affect the weather? It may sound unlikely, but new research suggests they just might. An international ...

Antibiotic resistance is widely linked to antibiotic misuse, yet growing evidence suggests that everyday environmental chemicals may also accelerate ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

An international research team led by Konrad Meister from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, part of Mischa Bonn's department, has identified a new class of ice crystal-forming proteins in ...

The gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis has long presented researchers with a paradox. It has been associated with colorectal cancer, yet it also lives quite happily in most healthy people. A study by ...

Microplastics in soil can create tiny microbial hotspots, potentially reshaping soil health and the long-term sustainability ...

Microplastics gather anti-biotic resistant bacteria as they move through water, allowing microbes to spread from polluted sites into rivers.
