South Australian algal bloom species the world's most toxic harmful microalga yet recorded

The marine microalgae responsible for the most devastating effects of the South Australian harmful algal bloom (HAB) has now been shown to be the most toxic species of its kind ever studied.

Evidence of elusive high-energy gravitons in quantum Hall systems

Electrons, negatively charged particles, sometimes coordinate their movements in ways that produce certain collective excitations referred to as quasiparticles. One case in which this occurs is the quantum Hall effect, a phenomenon that emerges when electrons are confined to a ve

Health risk fears for storks in Europe over ‘junk food’ from landfill

Rubbish dumps can expose birds to contaminants, raising questions over whether landfill foraging helps or harmsStorks are gaining weight from a diet of literal junk, according to research that suggests the previously disappearing birds face potential health risks as a result of i

How foreign direct investments affect employment and income in rural areas of the US

Federal trade and industrial policies have triggered a new wave of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States, with some companies committing billions of dollars to U.S.-based manufacturing. Now, an analysis in Contemporary Economic Policy has found that FDI raises empl

Turning up the heat on cancer: Manganese ferrite nanoparticles outperform rivals

Scientists have long known that heat can be used to help fight cancer. But heating tumors and cancer cells is trickier than it sounds. Apply too much heat and patients could get hurt; apply too little or target the wrong location and the therapy will not be effective.

Nature's puncture tools reveal shape trade-offs between piercing power and strength

Nature has invented countless types of pointy appendages, and scientists have long sought to explain what makes these structures so effective at puncturing other things. A new study models the key physical characteristics of puncturing tools to reflect their diversity in nature,

Low-e windows keep homes cool … but may set neighbours’ property on fire

Low-emissivity windows also keep houses warm in winter, but use on bowed glass can have magnifying-glass effectLow-emissivity or low-E window glass is a useful green technology for keeping buildings warm in winter and cool in summer … but a rare side-effect can set the neighbours

New genomic method to track disease outbreaks globally

Phylo-Plex, a new computational method, has been developed by Wellcome Sanger Institute scientists and their collaborators to allow cost-effective and scalable DNA sequencing of pathogens in laboratories with limited resources. Published today (July 9) in Nature Communications, P

New neutron method reveals inner architecture of drug delivery particles

Modern medicine increasingly relies on targeted drug delivery—a process during which tiny particles (nanoparticles) transport drugs to specific parts of the body. To ensure these treatments are safe and effective, scientists need to understand exactly how these nanoparticles are

A hidden immune backup system could supercharge mRNA cancer vaccines

Researchers found that mRNA cancer vaccines can recruit an unexpected immune cell to launch powerful tumor-fighting responses, overturning a long-held assumption about how the vaccines work. The discovery could lead to more effective cancer vaccines and help scientists tailor tre
