A new pair of molecular tools is allowing scientists to uncover how plants and fungi coordinate their ancient underground partnership. For about 450 million years, plants and soil fungi have maintained a mutually beneficial partnership. The fungi grow through plant roots and supply phosphorus and other minerals from the soil. In return, the plants provide […]

The Surprising Truth About Aging: New Study Challenges the Idea of Inevitable Decline
A large longitudinal study challenges the idea that aging inevitably brings decline, revealing that many older adults improve in key measures of physical and cognitive health. Aging later in life is often described as a gradual decline in both body and mind. However, new research from scientists at Yale University suggests a different possibility. The […]

One Nasal Spray Could Protect Against COVID, Flu, Pneumonia, and More
A single nasal spray vaccine may one day protect against viruses, pneumonia, and even allergies. For decades, scientists have dreamed of creating a universal vaccine capable of protecting against many different pathogens. The idea has often been compared to a Holy Grail of medicine — a goal that seemed almost impossible to achieve. Now, researchers […]
New Catalyst Turns CO2 Into Valuable Methanol With Unprecedented Efficiency
A new catalyst built from isolated indium atoms allows scientists to convert CO2 into methanol more efficiently while revealing the hidden chemistry that drives the reaction. Methanol is an important building block for many chemical products. Scientists at ETH Zurich have now developed a highly efficient method for producing this compound from carbon dioxide (CO2) […]
