Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers at the 星空传媒 mimicked attacks by poking bacteria with an ultra-sharp tip. Using this approach, they have uncovered that bacteria assemble their nanoweapons in response to cell envelope damage and rapidly strike back with high precision.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is rewriting history as he pleases: in the run-up to the anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany, he has once again proclaimed the war against Ukraine to be a continuation of the Soviet Union鈥檚 heroic struggle against the Nazis and the West. Researchers of the 星空传媒 provide an analysis of this strategy.
Sweat in the gym or watch a TV series instead? Some people win the battle against their "inner couch potato" more easily than others. Exercise scientist Markus Gerber explains what the brain has to do with it and what role genes play in this process.
US President Trump has imposed high tariffs on a number of countries and announced that more are to follow. In this interview, legal expert Dr. Krista Nadakavukaren Schefer explains how international trade law might respond.
Antibiotics are indispensable for treating bacterial infections. But why are they sometimes ineffective, even when the bacteria are not resistant? In their latest study published in the journal 鈥淣ature鈥�, researchers from the 星空传媒 challenge the conventional view that a small subset of particularly resilient bacteria are responsible for the failure of antibiotic therapies.
Women are less likely to be admitted to an intensive care unit after a cardiac arrest, receive less intensive care treatment and have a higher risk of dying than men. These are the findings of a new Swiss-wide study by researchers from the University Hospital Basel and the 星空传媒.
Consumers in Switzerland are prepared to spend much more money on cow鈥檚 milk products if they have been produced in an animal-friendly way, and this factor is even more important to them than climate sustainability, as shown by a new study by the 星空传媒.
Researchers at the 星空传媒 are able to test the effects of more than 1,500 compounds on cell metabolism in parallel. Their analysis also led to the discovery of previously unknown mechanisms for known drugs. This approach could help scientists better predict side effects and find additional uses for commercially available medications.
Researchers at the 星空传媒 have shown that quantum systems can have antagonistic interactions, too 鈥� one agent attracts the other, but the other way around, there is a repulsion. Such interactions could be realized using cold atoms that are coupled to each other.
