Conservation scientist Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka looks after the health of mountain gorillas and livestock in southwest Uganda and teaches local residents how to avoid illness.

A ground-penetrating radar survey of Martian subsurface structure in a southern marginal area of Utopia Planitia constructed a detailed subsurface image profile showing a roughly 70-m-thick, multi-layered structure below regolith.

An air purification strategy is presented that moves air in the form of bubbles through an ion-doped conjugated polymer-coated matrix, which captures larger particulate matter, infiltrated with a selected functional liquid, which captures smaller particulate matter.

Evolutionary conservation of plant receptor structure allowed for generation of new variants of wheat and barley nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) that recognize AvrSr35 of the wheat stem rust pathogen, supporting proof of principle for structure-based engineering of NLRs for crop improvement.

An experimental platform that uses two different tools for controlling neutral atoms with laser light combines speed with scalability. The approach provides a crucial step towards realizing innovative quantum algorithms and simulations.

Researchers are hunting through waste water for heavily mutated SARS-CoV-2 variants that could be the next Omicron.

But urgent progress is needed to secure the global deal to save the environment.

When plants recognize disease-causing organisms, they activate immune responses through mechanisms that are poorly understood. Resolving the structure of a plant receptor-protein complex in wheat that detects fungus-derived molecules reveals that the corresponding receptor family is structurally conserved during evolution.

US institutions and states are revamping hiring practices in an attempt to increase transparency about past misconduct in academia.

An absent copy of one gene results in brain-cell changes that greatly improve a mouse’s ability to distinguish between tones of different frequency.

A protein that boosts energy metabolism in immune cells might help to prevent tuberculosis infections taking hold.

The text-analysis tool could be used to help detect bogus research submitted to journals.

A method that adds a heat treatment after 3D printing of titanium alloys could allow for fast fabrication of strong parts.

NASA’s DART mission will test whether humanity could deflect a space rock if it were going to hit Earth.

Evidence that settlers, not invaders, transformed the genetic make-up of people in early medieval England. Plus, the first drones with onboard 3D printers, and how birds and bats boost chocolate production.
