Scientists have discovered a sophisticated mechanism by which Salmonella bacteria hijack a mitochondrial metabolite transporter to survive inside host cells. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, reveal how the pathogen reduces oxidative stress to evade the host defense…
Cross species transfer of genes has driven evolution
Far from just being the product of our parents, University of Adelaide scientists have shown that widespread transfer of genes between species has radically changed the genomes of today’s mammals, and been an important driver…
Scanning in the fourth dimension
A novel imaging method makes it possible to capture object deformation in three dimensions over time with unprecedented accuracy. Three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography is a widely used technology that visualizes an object’s external and internal…
Electronic skin stretched to new limits
A metal carbide within a hydrogel composite senses, stretches and heals like human skin for use in medicine and robotics. An electrically conductive hydrogel that takes stretchability, self-healing and strain sensitivity to new limits has…
Scientists Develop a New Generation of LCD with…
A research team from the State Key Laboratory on Advanced Displays and Optoelectronics Technologies of HKUST has developed a new Liquid-crystal display (LCD), which image resolution, energy efficiency as well as color saturation were markedly…
