Antimicrobial peptide naturally found in cows breaks Klebsiella biofilms and kills drug-resistant bacteria
UCF College of Medicine Assistant Professor Renee Fleeman continues to refine a powerful therapy for drug-resistant bacteria that pierces the gooey coating that...
New route to tailor-made diamond nanoparticles holds promise for quantum applications
Nanodiamonds are tiny diamond particles only a few nanometers in size. Because they are chemically highly stable and can host so-called color centers, optically...
We can predict space weather—what if we could also stop it?
The weather on Earth can get pretty messy sometimes. But in space, it can be wild, and the effects can be far-reaching. Solar flares, giant explosions on the su...
Brightness 'gap' in ancient star cluster reveals missing red dwarfs
Scientists from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, sought to study one stellar subject and ended up finding something even mo...
Sunrise III data release opens rare high-altitude solar views that could sharpen space weather forecasts
Close to 100 scientists from all over Europe, the United States, and Japan are gathering this week at the Institute for Solar Physics (KIS) in Freiburg to prese...
Dogs respond to human tone without words, hinting at communication older than language
Humans can communicate various instructions to dogs without using actual words—simply by modulating the tone of their voice, a new study from ELTE University's...
Nanomagnets control diamond qubits, pointing to more scalable quantum hardware
Quantum computing, once only a theoretical possibility, promises to deliver faster, more energy-efficient computers—but only if scientists can build and scale t...
Attribution constraints reveal stronger future intensification of the upper‑level Hadley circulation
The Hadley circulation, a key atmospheric conveyor belt transporting heat and moisture from the tropics to the subtropics, directly influences subtropical aridi...
Arctic river deltas face rising climate pressure while holding vast frozen carbon reserves
Many rivers flow into the Arctic Ocean north of the Arctic Circle—including the Lena in Siberia and the Mackenzie River in Canada. The deltas of these large and...
Open-source software unlocks rapid DNA structure generation and analysis in one workflow
Computational chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a comprehensive software suite to create acc...
Social networks outsmart cognitive biases: How herding in networks makes populations more rational
In 2010, the New York City-based restaurant Serendipity 3 revealed its $69 hot dog, winning the Guinness World Record for the world's most expensive hot dog. Se...
Giant fan-shaped structure found under East Antarctica
An international team of researchers including our Department of Geography has discovered a vast geological structure hidden beneath the East Antarctic Ice Shee...
