Living in a greener environment has an impact on the composition of oligosaccharides in a mother's breastmilk, which in turn may affect the infant’s health.

The "admissions process" for B cells entering germinal centers to mature during virus infection changes over time. New research has identified why this is.

Researchers have developed a novel catalytic template-assisted interfacial polymerization strategy to prepare a highly permeable acid-resistant nanofiltration membrane for acidic wastewater treatment.

A new study of domestic and hospital drinking water systems found Legionella in 41% of samples – with researchers making a key connection between the pathogen’s co-existence with a "host" microorganism in all samples tested.

A new study finds that when sulfur air pollution fell, farmers replaced this lost airborne nutrient with fertilizer, likely increasing mercury contamination.

A new study suggests that throughout Earth’s history, natural processes propelled measurable geochemical signals from deep inside Earth’s metallic core, all the way to the surface, emerging at what are known as magma “hotspots.”

Selecting an appropriate sample preparation method can improve the efficiency and accuracy of mold identification, and researchers have now evaluated three different MALDI-TOF MS approaches for the identification of molds.

A lead-free perovskite photocatalyst has been developed that can efficiently convert solar energy to hydrogen. Researchers have also unveiled the interfacial dynamics of the catalyst, opening doors to improving its efficiency.

A new test that "fishes" for multiple respiratory viruses at once using single strands of DNA as "bait", and gives highly accurate results in under an hour, has been developed by Cambridge researchers.

A single protein has been identified that inhibits a broad spectrum of rattlesnake venom toxins, bringing researchers closer to creating an effective antivenom.
