Researchers have developed an effective and flexible antimicrobial material that could be used to coat medical devices placed inside the body, helping to prevent infection without drugs.

A common ingredient in cosmetics – xanthan gum – has been harnessed to create a protective shield for battery electrodes, helping protect them from early failure.

"Cooperative” behavior between complex mixtures in battery electrolytes could provide a new blueprint for future battery design, enabling the wider development of multivalent batteries.

Families of bacteria living in a cat's anal glands can produce odors that help them communicate.

Macrophages, a type of white blood cell that can destroy invading pathogens, have an innate ability to infiltrate tumor cells, making them a potentially important tool in treatments that use transplanted cells to fight disease, known as cell therapy.
