Most disease-causing bacteria are known for their speed: In mere minutes, they can double their population, quickly making a person sick. But just as dangerous as this rapid growth can be a bacterium's resting state, which helps the pathogen evade antibiotics and contributes to severe chronic infections in the lungs and blood, within wounds, and on the surfaces of medical devices.
The fifth episode of X-Men '97 hits Disney+ this Wednesday, and these images reveal that a fan-favorite mutant hero (or more than one) will be making their debut

Seven studies from researchers at the prestigious Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have been retracted over the last two months after a scientist blogger alleged that images used in them had been manipulated or duplicated. The retractions are the latest development in a monthslong controversy around research at the Boston-based institute, which is a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. The issue came to light after Sholto David, a microbiologist and volunteer science sleuth based in Wales,...
Researchers at Harvard have reportedly developed a metafluid that they have referred to as "intelligent liquid," according to the Debrief. The liquid contains "tunable springiness, adjustable optical properties, variable viscosity, and even the seemingly magical ability to shift between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid."The formula that the team came up with remains a secret as they continue to investigate the commercial potential of the substance. The report mentioned that the liquid might...
A high-profile study made headlines in 2023 stating that the scientific and innovation system is producing less and less completely new knowledge. Researchers at the University of Basel are now refuting this claim, at least for patents: It is based on a measurement error.
Perpetrators of hate speech on X have gained millions of new followers since the war in Gaza, according to a new study.
It looks like new users to X will have to pay a small fee if they want to post and interact with posts from other users.
Scientists have successfully used a new imaging technique to determine the structure and interactions of a protein complex that plays a significant part in the initiation and progression of cancer. They showed that it was possible to use a high-resolution form of cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to gain a better insight into how the protein complex binds to inhibitor drug molecules.
