Certain strains of Escherichia coli produce the natural product colibactin, which is a chemically unstable genotoxin, and increasing evidence suggests that colibactin is associated with colorectal carcinogenesis. Previous work indicted that…
An international team of researchers led by scientists from the Max Planck Harvard Research Center for the Ancient Mediterranean (Leipzig, Germany) and the University of Bologna (Italy) has reconstructed, for the first time, the genetic and…
Astronomers have announced they’ve catalogued the 40,000th near-Earth asteroid.
The announcement marks a milestone in the detection of space rocks that orbit close to Earth and, scientists say, highlights the threat posed by space rocks to our…
Scientists have tested, for the first time, how biodegradable wet wipes break down when flushed rather than composted, discovering that most wipes remain after five weeks – a finding the research team say challenges the marketing of these…
Saturn’s moon Titan reappears from occultation, then passes south of fainter moon Tethys later this evening.
Titan and Tethys make a close pass near…
