This simple blood protein could stop a deadly black fungus

An international team of scientists has discovered that albumin, the most abundant protein circulating in human blood, plays a powerful and previously unrecognized role in protecting the body from mucormycosis, a rare but frequently deadly fungal infection. The findings were published in Nature. The research was led by George Chamilos,…

Wolves are stealing cougar kills in Yellowstone, study finds

A new study sheds light on the tense relationship between wolves and cougars in Yellowstone National Park. Researchers found that many of their encounters begin when wolves take over prey that cougars have already killed. To reduce these risky run ins, cougars have adjusted by targeting smaller animals, which helps…

Laser printed hydrogel implant could transform bone repair

Bones fractured in a (skiing) accident often mend without medical intervention. However, when a break is especially severe or a bone tumor must be surgically removed, doctors rely on implants to stabilize the area and support new bone growth. Today’s implants are commonly made from the patient’s own bone, called…

Intelligence emerges when the whole brain works as one

Modern neuroscience often describes the brain as a collection of specialized systems. Functions such as attention, perception, memory, language, and reasoning have each been linked to specific brain networks, and scientists have typically studied these systems separately. This approach has produced major breakthroughs. However, it has not fully explained a…

A flash of laser light flips a magnet in major light-control breakthrough

Researchers at the University of Basel and ETH Zurich have demonstrated a way to reverse the polarity of a specialized ferromagnet using a focused laser beam. The advance points toward a future in which light could be used to design and reconfigure electronic circuits directly on a chip. Ferromagnets function…

The hidden technology that could unlock commercial fusion power

For fusion energy systems to run safely and consistently, researchers must closely track the behavior of superheated plasma fuel. Key characteristics such as temperature and density directly influence whether fusion reactions can be sustained. Measuring these extreme conditions requires advanced instruments known as diagnostics, which act as the eyes and…
