Study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

Cyanobacteria are among the most significant life forms in the history of our planet. As one of the first organisms to produce oxygen through photosynthesis, they shaped early Earth and created the ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

Chinese scientists spray lab-grown cyanobacteria onto desert sand to create fertile farmable soil in 10 months, reducing wind ...

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a magnetic filament erupting on the Sun. The filament was "connected to sunspot AR3229" triggered a long duration M3-class flare and resulting coronal mass ...

Some 3D printer projects may seem like great ideas, but realistically won't be of much use to you. Take pause before wasting time or filament on these prints.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about biodiversity and the hidden quirks of the natural world. These bacteria don’t eat food or breathe air like we do.

In the tiny, beaded chain of the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. ATCC 33047, two different cells, the photosynthetic factory worker and the nitrogen-fixing specialist, play distinct and powerful roles in ...

The gut microbiome is intimately linked to human health and weight. Differences in the gut microbiome—the bacteria and fungi in the gut—are associated with obesity and weight gain, raising the ...
