A fresh look at data collected by NASA’s Cassini probe nearly two decades ago has revealed new, complex organic molecules on Saturn‘s icy moon Enceladus – pointing to tantalizing chemistry taking place deep beneath its hidden ocean. In plumes of water ice spewing from cracks in Enceladus’s shell, a team led by astrobiologist Nozair Khawaja from the University of Stuttgart …

SAN ANTONIO – A live pipe bomb was found at an apartment complex Tuesday morning along Interstate 10 on the Northwest Side. San Antonio police Sgt. Travis Gourley said a maintenance worker found the suspicious device before 9 a.m. in a grassy area at the apartment complex, located in the 10700 block of I-10 westbound near Huebner Road. The employee …

After examining a few candidate formulations, the team found the right material. “We used a biocompatible thermoplastic called polycaprolactone and hydroxyapatite as base materials,” Lee said. Polycaprolactone was chosen because it is an FDA-approved material that degrades in the body within a few months after implantation. The hydroxyapatite, on the other hand, supports bone-tissue regeneration. Lee’s team experimented with various …

Isolation and characterization of phages against Enterobacter isolates from The Alfred Hospital The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, has reported an ongoing outbreak of nosocomial infections with limited treatment options and high mortality rates29. Of particular concern is the ECC, which is an emerging AMR threat with considerable epidemic potential22. Here we explored phages as a frontline antimicrobial solution for …

Facebook Tweet Email Link Surrounding our solar system is a natural and enigmatic cosmic shield called the heliosphere — and a new mission has launched to help astronomers better understand it. Created by the solar wind, a constant flow of charged particles that stream away from the sun, the heliosphere acts as an enormous bubble that protects the planets in …

The octopus is a creature that continues to surprise scientists and inspire engineers. With eight arms that move in ways no human limb can, it demonstrates flexibility and control that seem almost otherworldly. Each arm bends, twists, elongates, and shortens with unmatched precision, enabling these animals to hunt, hide, and explore with ease. Researchers hope that unlocking the …

Arm actions Twelve arm actions were identified from 15 behaviors with a total of 3,907 actions recorded from 25 wild octopuses (total 25 min, 1-min per octopus) across 6 field sites with varying ecohabitats. The majority of these actions were observed across multiple behaviors. Many actions were observed during the behaviors of crawl (11/12 actions), crawl speculative bottom searching (10/12 actions), …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌍 Earth’s atmosphere faces an irreversible oxygen decline due to the Sun’s warming. ☀️ Increased luminosity from the Sun will disrupt photosynthesis, leading to oxygen loss. 🦠 Only anaerobic microorganisms might survive as oxygen levels drop drastically. 🔭 The study impacts the search for life on exoplanets, questioning oxygen as a stable biosignature. Earth’s oxygen-rich atmosphere, a …
