Scientists turn viruses into weapons against deadly superbugs
Scientists are advancing a promising new way to fight antibiotic-resistant infections by using viruses that specifically target and kill harmful bacteria. An international team has released the first coordinated guidelines for personalized phage therapy, offering a roadmap for safely bringing this experimental treatment into clinical practice. Early findings are encouraging, with one study reporting improvement in 77% of patients and the disappearance of targeted bacteria in 61%.

Japan's ALS community is ready to become research partners, nationwide survey suggests
People living with ALS and their families in Japan are eager to help shape research on the disease, even though most have never heard of patient and public involvement (PPI), according to a study published on Oct. 30, 2026, in Research Involvement and Engagement.

A new route to calculating gluon production in proton–nucleus collisions
In the theoretical study of proton-nucleus collisions, the colliding projectiles can be described as streams of color charges moving along their respective trajectories. These color charges couple to gluons, which then produce the particles that are observed in the final state (gluons and quarks, which eventually produce hadrons).

Earth atmosphere emulators could enable faster and more accurate weather predictions
If you partitioned the entire Earth, from just below the surface to the top of the atmosphere, into 1-kilometer-square chunks, there would be billions of them. Now run each of those cells through a series of complex physics equations, and you can see how the entire Earth system interacts and evolves in detail, one step at a time.

European orbiter detects fresh hints of volcanic activity on Mars
New evidence from gas seeping above volcanic rifts suggests Mars is not geologically dead deep inside, but merely sleeping. Fresh fissures along the Alba Mons region hint at active spots under the surface, where gases from inside the planet may be making their way up to the surface.

How ranchers on Brazil's 'Dirty List' bypass forced labor safeguards by selling cattle through intermediaries
Brazil's "Dirty List," a public registry that names employers found to have violated anti-slavery laws, is a key component of the country's efforts to combat forced labor. Major meatpackers in Brazil signed sustainable sourcing commitments promising to not purchase cattle directly from ranchers on the Dirty List. But new research shows that ranchers have found ways around these restrictions, rerouting cattle through intermediaries and allowing cattle linked to forced labor to remain in domestic and international beef and leather supply chains.

First direct observations reveal hydrogen dissolved in tiny gaps between metal atoms
University of Sydney researchers have made a breakthrough by directly observing hydrogen in the tiny spaces between the atoms in metal alloys. The world-first observation of hydrogen dissolving in these 'metal crystal lattices' offers fresh insights into why hydrogen can weaken metals and how more hydrogen-resistant materials might be developed.

Scientists reveal how cosignaling receptors dually regulate T cell activation via phase separation
Previous studies have shown that upon antigen stimulation, the T cell receptor (TCR) undergoes phase separation with the kinase Lck to mediate rapid T cell activation. However, the manner in which costimulating receptors regulate this process has remained unclear.

Using ChatGPT at work? Your boss may trust you less, new study finds
Artificial intelligence may be making employees faster and more productive, but it could also be quietly damaging their careers. A new study led by Samuel Meyers, a Ph.D. student, together with his adviser Dr. Yochanan Bigman of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Dr. Roman Briker of WHU—Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany, suggests that workers who use ChatGPT and other AI tools may pay an unexpected professional price: their managers are less likely to trust them.
