Fungal infection, also known as a mycosis, refers to the invasion of a host's tissue by specific types of fungi. Mycoses often start in the lungs following inhalation of fungal spores or on the ...

Fungus gnats are small black flies, also known as sciarid flies, mushroom flies and mycetophilids. They are a very common pest, especially when plants are grown in pots of soil-free compost. In fact, ...

Fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot and ringworm, occur when one type of fungal microbe becomes too prevalent in one area of the body so that the immune system cannot defeat it. Like many ...

Swiss researchers claim to have devised a functional living battery powered by the combined efforts of two types of fungi – all in a biodegradable, non-toxic 3D-printed package.

Scientists have warned that blueberries could be wiped out a fungus rapidly-spreading worldwide. Caused by a two different strains of fungus, the disease appears as a white powdery mildew on ...

A fungus causing powdery mildew in blueberries has spread from the U.S. to continents like Europe and Asia, threatening crops and increasing fungicide dependence. NC State researchers found that ...

Earth's inner core may actually have two distinct layers. (alexlmx/Canva Pro) "We found evidence that may indicate a change in the structure of iron, which suggests perhaps two separate cooling events ...

Most fungi don’t handle the heat all too well – for now, at least (Picture: Getty/AP) Don’t worry, there’s next to no chance of this ever happening, scientists have stressed. Any mind ...

The fungi are not "planted" into the battery, so to speak, but are part of its material foundation from the start. It is 3D printed to structure the electrodes in a specific way that gives the ...

The components of the fungal battery are manufactured using 3D printing. This allows the researchers to structure the electrodes in such a way that the microorganisms can access the nutrients as ...

This study aimed to address three key questions: (1) How do the diversity patterns of soil fungal communities change along elevational gradients? (2) Which factors shape these diversity patterns along ...
