Study uncovers a neural brake that limits motivation during unpleasant situations
17+ hour, 46+ min ago (833+ words) Most of us know the feeling: maybe it is making a difficult phone call, starting a report you fear will be criticized, or preparing a presentation that's stressful just to think about. Study uncovers a neural brake that limits motivation…...
Earthworm-based composting offers a low-energy solution to antibiotic resistance
17+ hour, 53+ min ago (754+ words) Earthworms could become unexpected allies in the global fight against antibiotic resistance, by helping farmers turn manure into safer, high-value organic fertilizer through a process called vermicomposting. Earthworm-based composting offers a low-energy solution to antibiotic resistance Antibiotic resistance from farm…...

17+ hour, 56+ min ago (583+ words) Professor Zhaohui Tang and Associate Professor Zhilin Liu from the team of Professor Xuesi Chen at the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed ultrasound-responsive in-situ antigen nanocatchers (S-nanocatchers), achieving precise spatiotemporal capture of tumor antigens and…...
Scientists identify a molecular switch that controls water flow in the gut
18+ hour, 26+ min ago (486+ words) Although constipation and diarrhea may seem like opposite problems, they both hinge on the same underlying issue: how much fluid moves into the gut. These common issues affect millions of people in the U.S. each year, yet scientists have not fully…...
Active mechanical forces drive how bacteria switch swimming direction
18+ hour, 29+ min ago (872+ words) Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of biology's most intensively studied molecular machines. Bacteria move through liquids using propellerlike tails called flagella, which alternate between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation....
