Crowding can speed up enzyme reactions—until protein droplets become too packed
Our cells are a hotbed of activity, with reactions churning away to keep us alive. But the cytoplasm, where many metabolic reactions take place, is not uniform. Instead, proteins and other molecules cluster together into…

Extraterrestrial detection inspired by firefly communications could distinguish alien signals from pulsarsWhen we think of extraterrestrial intelligence that might be out there among the stars, we tend to think of creatures not too unlike us, though maybe with gray skin, probably bald and with big black eyes. We focus on the…Resident experience matters in estimating neighborhood walkability, study showsWalking has been shown to improve the overall health of a community and can predict the prevalence of chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, according to the World Health Organization.

In findings published in Science, a team led by the U.S. Department of…Long-standing Indigenous practice of adding shells to sand helps young clams withstand ocean acidificationNew research from the University of California, Davis, reveals why adding crushed shells to beach sand helps protect shell-making animals—such as clams, oysters and mussels—from the detrimental effects of ocean acidification.Burrowing shrimp are on the move in a mudflat near youBurrowing shrimp are a pest well known to shellfish growers. These pale-bodied creatures excavate mud as they dig into the ground, creating piles of sediment that suffocate oysters and clams growing on the surface.
