Helicobacter pylori medical illustrationA nutrient that is prevalent in the human diet has been discovered to aid the survival of a cancer-causing microorganism, a recent Yale research discovers. The findings could disclose an essential target for new drugs to tackle numerous contagious diseases in human beings.The nutrient, called ergothioneine, or EGT, an identified antioxidant,...
The ultra-faint Milky Way companion galaxy Leo I appears as a faint patch to the right of the bright star, Regulus.

A group of investigators at the College of Agder's, Center for Coastal Study, functioning with an associate at the Institute of Marine Research, both in Norway, has discovered that when secured places for lobsters are developed in overfished parts of the ocean, the lobsters tend to grow greater. In their paper released in Proceedings...

(Guido Mieth/Getty Images)Ice characteristicsIce is not constantly ice all the way through. Even at temperatures level well below freezing, its surface area can be coated in a membrane of quasi-liquid atoms, with its density typically only a few nanometers.Its formation procedure is referred to as premelting (or 'surface melting'), which is why your ice...

Human robot communications not just enable robotics to interact with humans however likewise with the atmosphere. Microrobots, for example, can communicate with insects and measure the force exerted by them during the trip or walking.However, this communication is not direct, with the microrobots measuring insect habits primarily. Now, scientists have developed a soft micro-robotic...
