Deadly Venezuela earthquakes raise concern in tremor-prone California
In the aftermath of back-to-back earthquakes in northern Venezuela, which by Friday had killed more than 500 people and left thousands injured, experts in resilience planning have emphasized the increasing importance of disaster preparedness in earthquake-prone California.
New cellular model for rare and deadly melanomas enables study of immunotherapy resistance
A research team at the University of Turku in Finland has developed a reliable laboratory model to study BAP1-deficient melanomas, which are a rare type of melanoma that evade the immune system once they have metastasized and are universally resistant to current state-of-the-art
Europe's deadly heat wave scorches east, Slovakia hits record
Europe's most severe heat wave on record set new temperature records in eastern parts of the continent on Monday and forced Ukraine to order power cuts to cope.
Hidden for decades, hospital superbug built resistance in waves, peaking in the mid‑2000s
Decades-old hospital samples have helped University of East Anglia (UEA) researchers uncover how a deadly antibiotic-resistant "superbug" quietly tightened its grip across the globe. It lurked in hospital corridors for decades, largely unnoticed by the wider public.
Spider venoms could stop deadly varroa mites killing honey bees
Spider venoms contain ingredients that could lead to a new treatment to protect honeybees from the deadly Varroa destructor mite, according to a study led by the University of the Sunshine Coast. Researchers identified components in the venoms of the Tasmanian cave spider and the

The broader a fungus's diet, the better it kills insects and helps plants
Many fungi lead triple lives—acting as deadly insect pathogens, decomposers in the soil, and helpful partners living inside and transferring insect-derived nitrogen to plant roots. Scientists have long wondered what allows a single species to pull off these very different roles.
Discarded plastic bottles help save dolphins from fishing nets
Newcastle University researchers have demonstrated that plastic bottles attached to fishing nets can help dolphins detect and avoid being caught and killed in the deadly gear.
Ancient teeth from Siberia rewrite the plague's timeline, dating back to over 5,500 years
Scientists have found the oldest known evidence of the plague, which sparked deadly outbreaks dating back about 5,500 years ago—some 200 years earlier than previously thought.
