Identifying bacteria by sight can be quite difficult. Why not listen to them instead? Researchers at TU Delft in the Netherlands and the university's spinoff company SoundCell think that bacterial infections could be diagnosed with sound. They've crafted a nanoscale drum kit that uses some of the world's smallest percussion instruments to turn a bacterium's motions into song . Previously, the Delft researchers showed that listening to a germ's drumbeat could quickly screen it...

A famous "oldest octopus" fossil has been exposed as a case of mistaken identity. Advanced imaging revealed hidden teeth showing it was actually related to a nautilus, not an octopus. The confusion came from decay that altered its shape before fossilization. This discovery rewrites part of evolutionary history, pushing the true origin of octopuses much later in time.
It's all in a name.

A single week of intensive meditation and mind-body practices led to measurable changes across the brain and body. Researchers observed improved brain efficiency, boosted immune signaling, and increased natural pain relief chemicals in participants' blood. The effects even promoted neuron growth and stronger brain connectivity. Surprisingly, the experience mirrored psychedelic-like brain states without any drugs involved.
A surprising new study reveals that what you eat could play a powerful role in fighting cholera, a deadly diarrheal disease. Researchers found that diets rich in certain proteins especially casein from dairy and wheat gluten can dramatically reduce the ability of cholera bacteria to take hold in the gut, in some cases cutting infection levels by up to 100 times. These proteins appear to disable a key "weapon" the bacteria use to attack other microbes and dominate the gut environment.
