Researchers have described a new class of molecules that inhibit efflux pumps so that antiboitics remain effective.

Engineers have created a 'supercapacitor' made of ancient, abundant materials, that can store large amounts of energy. Made of just cement, water, and carbon black (which resembles powdered charcoal), the device could form the basis for inexpensive systems that store intermittently renewable energy, such as solar or wind energy.

The smallest member of the filter-feeding family is one of the only whale species not to embark on seasonal migrations, new research finds.

Tuberculosis (TB) disproportionately affects vulnerable populations including those with limited economic resources, HIV patients, those whose diet is deficient in nutrients and others. Resistant TB (MDR TB) does not respond to first line medications and is difficult to treat, requiring long regimens of 15-20 months that are associated with significant...

Major government and private funding is being invested in planting trees as a powerful tool to fight climate change. But new research shows a troubling bottleneck that could threaten these efforts: U.S. tree nurseries don't grow close to enough trees--nor have the species diversity needed--to meet ambitious planting and restoration...

Researchers have developed a multimodal platform to image biohybrids -- microorganisms that use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into value-added chemical products -- to better understand how they function and how they can be optimized for more efficient energy conversion.

Four decades of conservation spending totaling more than $9 billion in inflation-adjusted tax dollars has failed to improve stocks of wild salmon and steelhead in the Columbia River Basin.

Researchers have developed a new technique that vastly improves readings of protein-to-ligand interactions through Raman spectroscopy.

Scientists have pinpointed a genetic cause for virgin birth for the first time, and once switched on the ability is passed down through generations of females.

Researchers have revisited one of the most ancient materials on Earth -- graphite, and discovered new physics that has eluded the field for decades.
