Researchers have developed a compound that attacks cancer cells in two ways by exploiting their demand for sugar while blocking their backup fuel supply. Cancer cells survive in part by consuming large amounts of sugar to power their rapid growth. Rather than trying to starve them of that fuel, researchers have developed an experimental compound […]

A virus kills a bacterium, and in the wreckage, other microbes may find one of life’s most essential nutrients: vitamin B12. New research from Virginia Tech suggests that bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, can release vitamin B12 trapped inside bacterial cells. That sudden nutrient windfall can then fuel neighboring microbes that cannot make B12 themselves, […]

Autism diagnoses have risen dramatically as definitions have expanded, but that shift may carry unexpected consequences. A diagnosis can open the door to understanding, treatment, and practical support. But when the same label is used for people with profoundly different abilities and needs, does it still provide enough useful information? Dame Uta Frith, one of […]

An ultrathin silicon surface can steer and reshape light in just 74 femtoseconds, opening a path toward a new generation of high-speed optical technology. A pulse of light can cross the width of a human hair in roughly 74 femtoseconds. In that same vanishingly brief interval, a new device developed at the California Institute of […]

For nearly 1,500 years, the Aquiry civilization shaped southwestern Amazonia, and new research suggests it supported a much larger population than previously believed. Beneath the dense forests of southwestern Amazonia, airborne lasers revealed a landscape covered with geometric earthworks, straight roads, and large ceremonial centers. The remains point to the Aquiry civilization, a multicultural society […]
