The first genomic surveillance of Klebsiella bacteria in Ghana has shown that heavily antibiotic-resistant pathogens are only found in hospital settings, an insight which could be used to help inform control measures.

A new, efficient method enables 100% of the aluminum and 98% of the lithium from spent car batteries to be recovered and recycled while minimizing the loss of valuable raw materials.

A new method for selecting aptamers, or "chemical antibodies," created by Penn State engineers takes only days to complete, instead of the months typically needed for traditional methods.

Scientists deepen existing knowledge of an ancient life-form and how it continues unique ecological processes today. Methanogens are unique because they don’t use sunlight to power their metabolisms.

When Hurricane Ian struck southwest Florida in September 2022, it unleashed a variety of Vibrio bacteria that can cause illness and death in humans, according to a new study.

A research group has discovered how to use an external electric field to control and accelerate a chemical reaction, like a ‘‘switch’’. This work could have a considerable impact on the development of new molecules.

A bacterium found in the sea can degrade a plastic that otherwise resists microbial breakdown in marine environments. This could lead to improved ways to recycle this polymer.

Twenty years of archaeological excavations at the Gruta da Oliveira, a cave in central Portugal, have revealed new insights into how Neanderthals cooked and dined.

The demand for energy storage systems is ever-increasing. Could a new aqueous rechargeable battery be a safer, cheaper alternative to current lithium-ion batteries?

Cornell researchers took a novel approach to explore the way microstructure emerges in a 3D-printed metal alloy: They bombarded it with X-rays while the material was being printed.
