A New Method to Prevent Gum Disease without eliminating beneficial Bacteria
Scientists are uncovering a surprising way to influence bacteria—not by killing them, but by changing how they communicate. Researchers studying oral bacteria found that disrupting…
Scientists discovered Climate Change disguised in historical Military Air samples
Old military air samples turned out to be a treasure trove of biological DNA, allowing scientists to track moss spores over 35 years. The results…
Caesium Phosphate
Caesium phosphate, Cs3PO4, is a phosphate of caesium that is highly soluble in water. It is an inorganic chemical compound composed of caesium (Cs) and…
Bacteria found in the Ocean that consume Plastic
Beneath the ocean’s surface, bacteria have evolved specialized enzymes that can digest PET plastic, the material used in bottles and clothes. Researchers at KAUST discovered…
Modern Illnesses may be defeated by ancient Viruses concealed within Bacteria
Penn State scientists uncovered an ancient bacterial defense where dormant viral DNA helps bacteria fight new viral threats. The enzyme PinQ flips bacterial genes to…

Lithium titanates are chemical compounds of lithium, titanium and oxygen. They are a family of inorganic compounds containing lithium (Li), titanium (Ti), and oxygen (O).…
Bees Replace their Queens for a Surprising Cause
Worker bees stage coordinated revolts when viral infections weaken their queen and lower her pheromone output. This disruption drives many of the queen failures that…
Lithium Triflate
Lithium triflate (lithium triflouromethanesulfonate or LiOTf) is a salt with the chemical formula LiCF3SO3. It is a lithium salt of triflic acid (trifluoromethanesulfonic acid). It…
Fungi dominated the Earth’s Surface before either Plants or Animals
Fungi’s evolutionary roots stretch far deeper than once believed — up to 1.4 billion years ago, long before plants or animals appeared. Using advanced molecular…
To Save Colony, doomed Ants release a last Smell
Ant pupae that are fatally sick don’t hide their condition; instead, they release a special scent that warns the rest of the colony. This signal…
Researchers have now discovered how Corals regenerate on the Reef
