    Engineered dual-bacterial sensors turn chemical signals into electricity

    2026-04-20T16:00:00Z By Linda Stewart

    Most bacterial information transmission is done via electricity. While electricity-emitting bacteria exist, manipulating them into useful sensors has been quite challenging. Researchers recently developed a flexible bioelectrical sensor system called electroactive co-culture sensing system.

    Sleep deprivation disrupts gut microbiota, worsening colorectal cancer outcomes

    2026-04-20T15:51:00Z By Linda Stewart

    Researchers have found that the gut microbiota drives changes to the immune system caused by chronic sleep loss. These changes promote cancer progression, disrupt circadian rhythm and weaken the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

    How tiny cave shrimps grazing on microbes power the underworld of the Yucatan

    2026-04-20T15:44:00Z By Linda Stewart

    Because they convert microbial growth in sinkholes beneath the Yucatan Peninsula into animal biomass, Typhlatya shrimps act as “keystone species”, introducing essential nutrients into the cave’s food web. They serve as a crucial initial link that larger subterranean predators feed on.

    Antibiotic resistance genes found in newborns within hours of birth, study shows

    2026-04-20T15:32:00Z By Linda Stewart

    Antibiotic resistance genes can be present in newborns within the first hours of life. The study analysed meconium samples from 105 infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) within the first 72 hours of life between July 2024 and July 2025.

    Andes volcanoes – the missing link between algae blooms, whales and climate millions of years ago

    2026-04-20T13:59:00Z By Linda Stewart

    Record volcanic eruptions in the Andes could explain the mysterious death of dozens of whales about 5 to 8 million years ago, according to a study. A significant increase in volcanic activity in the Andes peaking between eight and four million years ago likely delivered a significant pulse of nutrients to the Southern Ocean.

    The cold virus ‘hides’ and multiplies in the tonsils and adenoids, even in people without symptoms

    2026-04-20T13:44:00Z By Linda Stewart

    A study reveals that tissues such as the tonsils and adenoids can serve as hiding places for the rhinovirus, which causes the common cold. The pathogen can persist in these tissues for long periods, be transmitted unexpectedly, and trigger new outbreaks of the disease.
