Traditional battery disposal poses environmental challenges, as many contain toxic materials that can contaminate soil and water if not properly managed. Empa’s living batteries don't have that ...

A battery that needs feeding instead of charging? This is exactly what Empa researchers have achieved with their 3D-printed, ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to identify 25 new protein compounds that can kill bacteria and fungi, ...

Their cell structure is simpler than the cells of animals, plants and fungi. Size Most are 5 μm - 100 μm. Most are 0.2 μm - 2.0 μm. Outer layers of cell Cell membrane, surrounded by cell wall ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered new details about how the human genome produces instructions for creating ...

While we've seen work on bacteria-powered batteries before, the researchers note this is the first time two types of fungi have been brought together to create a working fuel cell. And to be clear ...

This review covers the challenges of working in filamentous fungi and offers a perspective on the approaches needed to exploit fungi as microbial cell factories. Article subjects are automatically ...

The new fungus species Gibellula attenboroughii forces reclusive cave spiders to exposed areas, likely to benefit spore dispersal.

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

But filopodia can also wreak havoc: metastatic cancer cells use them to invade new regions of the body. Filopodia are composed of hexagonal bundles of proteins that give them structure and strength.
