Reporting in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, scientists used techniques called wide- and small-angle neutron scattering diffraction and spectroscopy to look at lipids, or fats in the fungal ...

This is exactly what Empa researchers have achieved with their 3D-printed, biodegradable fungal battery. The living battery could supply power to sensors for agriculture or research in remote regions.

Strictly speaking, the cell is not a battery, but a so-called microbial fuel cell. Like all living things, ... and to look for other kinds of fungi that would be suitable for supplying electricity.

Antonis Rokas, a fungal biologist at Vanderbilt University who was not affiliated with the study, calls the work a tour de ...

Fungal ‘Brains’ Can Think Like Human Minds, Scientists Say They're not quite on our level, but they're not as far off as you might think. By Jackie Appel Published: Oct 23, 2024 8:30 AM EDT ...

Fungi, like this colony growing in a lab dish, are notoriously hard to treat. A newly discovered compound made by bacteria kills even fungi that are resistant to other antifungal drugs.

Two years ago, medical researchers taking a close look at cancer cells announced they had found a strange and surprising neighbor: fungi. But these fungi didn’t just live near tumors—they ...

Two new studies, both published Sept. 29 in the journal Cell, uncovered DNA from fungal cells hiding out in tumors throughout the body. In one study, researchers dusted for the genetic ...
