New research from Caltech shows bacteria survive phage attacks not by fighting alone but through collective chemotaxis, moving as a group to outrun viruses that outnumber them. The finding reframes how microbial populations persist in soil, water and the human body.
A Chinese science explainer tackles the viral claim that rocks picked up on holiday carry dangerous radiation. Most common stones are safe to keep, though a few minerals and old industrial sites deserve caution.
A new 89-mu zoo is being built inside a Lianyungang botanical park that draws fewer than 200 visitors on weekdays. Officials call it a cheap way to revive a 3 billion yuan asset; critics call it a second bet on a losing site.
Chinese researchers have built the world's lightest wireless mesoscope, a one-gram device that records thousands of neurons in a mouse's brain at single-cell resolution. The work, published in Nature, could reshape how labs study the neural basis of behavior.
A world-class cluster of giant karst sinkholes discovered in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, has sat largely unexplored for a decade. Local voices now argue it could become one of China's most unusual nature destinations.
