An avian influenza pandemic remains within the realm of possibility. To reduce the risk, we need to engage in a One Health ...

Rapid pathogen detection is crucial for effective disease management, particularly in bloodstream infections. Current molecular diagnostics often require nucleic acid preamplification, adding time and ...

Classically, granites are separated into two broad categories—“I-type” vs. “S-type”—representing different igneous vs. (meta)sedimentary rock sources for melting. Their geochemistry differs for ...

Understanding the inheritance of bacterial metabolic activity is of high practical significance to microbial engineering and offers fundamental insights into chemical and synthetic biology. In ...

Representing the locations of places so that we can use them as landmarks is critical to our ability to navigate through large-scale spaces—a proce ...

The ability to learn and form memories allows animals to adapt their behavior based on previous experiences. Associative learning, the process through which organisms learn about the relationship ...

Extracellular redox-active compounds, flavins and other quinones, have been hypothesized to play a major role in the delivery of electrons from cel ...

Society largely regards the wildfire problem as the destruction of human communities. Collectively, disaster fires, such as those mentioned here, have been lumped into a category of wildland–urban ...

Realization of a safe, low-cost rechargeable lithium battery of high energy density and long cycle life is needed for powering an electric road vehicle and for storing electric power generated by ...

Thaler and Sunstein’s “nudge” (1) has spawned a revolution in behavioral science research. Despite its popularity, the “nudge approach” has been criticized for having a “limited evidence base” (e.g., ...

Optical edge detection is a useful method for characterizing boundaries, which is also in the forefront of image processing for object detection. As the field of metamaterials and metasurface is ...

Using data from rural monitoring sites across the contiguous United States, we evaluated fine particulate matter (PM2.5) trends for 1988–2016. We c ...
