Regulatory plasticity of the rdar biofilm morphotype in clinical uropathogenic Escherichia coli and its modulation by ciprofloxacin

02/11/2026 - Background: Red, dry and rough (rdar) biofilm formation in Escherichia coli is characterized by the coordinated production of extracellular cellulose and amyloid curli fimbriae. Although rdar biofilm...

Convergent genome- and gene-level constraints shape repeated environmental adaptation in grasses

02/11/2026 - Grasses (Poaceae) dominate terrestrial ecosystems and sustain global food security, yet the genomic principles enabling their repeated adaptation to extreme environments remain unresolved. Combining...

SMARTFlexDB: a paired apo-holo RNA structure database and analysis platform for RNA conformational flexibility and small-molecule recognition

02/11/2026 - RNA structures can undergo substantial conformational changes upon small-molecule binding, yet existing structural resources provide only static RNA-ligand snapshots without connecting ligand-bound...

A rational design strategy and validation for protease-resistant fusion-inhibitor antiviral peptides

02/11/2026 - Peptide-based fusion inhibitors are promising pharmaceuticals in the fight against enveloped viruses relying on membrane fusion for host infection. However, peptide therapeutic applications have long...

Fish pay attention to one influential neighbour in virtual reality

01/11/2026 - Observing interactions between real and virtual rummy-nose tetra fish shows that, within a group, each individual takes cues from only one influential neighbour

How did the biggest crypto heist in history just happen?

30/10/2026 - Billions of dollars' worth of cryptocurrency have been stolen in just a matter of minutes. Researchers are already unpicking what went wrong

Physicists created a tiny universe and watched time emerge without a clock

30/10/2026 - Scientists have created a miniature universe in the laboratory that could help answer one of the biggest mysteries in physics: What is time, and where does it come from? Using 24,000 ultracold atoms,...

Scientists discover a bacterial defense so strange they thought it was broken

31/10/2026 - Scientists have discovered a bizarre bacterial defense system that works almost completely backward from anything seen before. Unlike typical bacterial immune systems that keep a deadly toxin under...

Scientists reveal a hidden snakebite crisis killing up to 513,000 people a year

30/10/2026 - A startling new study suggests that venomous snakebites are killing far more people worldwide than official statistics indicate, with an estimated 274,000 to 513,000 deaths every year. Researchers...

A computer scientist breaks through a limit that stood since 1996

30/10/2026 - A computer scientist has achieved a breakthrough in a nearly 25-year-old problem involving how computers calculate distances across enormous networks. The new algorithm delivers more reliable...

Scientists shrink Archimedes’ screw to the size of a single molecule

01/11/2026 - Scientists have built a groundbreaking molecular motor that spins in either direction using electricity, inspired by a machine invented more than 2,000 years ago. Even more remarkably, its rotation...
