EnvironmentFloating Algae Serve as a Raft for Young Pelagic Fish Floating algae, often known as algal rafts or mats, can provide valuable habitat and nurseries for young pelagic (open-water) fish. These floating structures serve the…
HealthListeria, a Foodborne Disease, may hide from Sanitizers in Biofilm Listeria monocytogenes, a foodborne pathogen, has the ability to form biofilms, which can make it more resistant to sanitizers and disinfectants. Biofilms are structured communities…
BiologyA New Mechanism regulating Lipid Production through Fatty Acids Lipid biosynthesis is a complex process that produces a variety of lipid compounds, including fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Fatty acids play an important…
BiologyObserving a Protein that Changes its Form The idea of “spying” on a shape-shifting protein may sound like science fiction, yet investigating the dynamic behavior of proteins, especially those that undergo shape-shifting…
TechnologyAdvances in Thermoelectricity may light up the Internet of Things Researchers have improved the efficiency of heat-to-electricity conversion in gallium arsenide semiconductor microstructures. By judicious spatial alignment of electrons within a two-dimensional electron gas system…
BiologyStone Age Cuisine shown by Ancient “chewing gum” Chewing gum, made from natural substances like birch bark pitch, has the advantage of preserving DNA for thousands of years. This allows scientists to gain…
