ScienceViruses called bacteriophages have been clashing with bacteria since long before we even existed. Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, took a closer look at 201phi2-1, which infects Pseudomonas chlororaphis bacteria. These jumbo phages construct a separating compartment around their DNA soon after it enters its host.See the Story

Human-driven climate change is already increasing the severity and frequency of climate hazards like heatwaves, wildfires, and flooding. It's unclear how the human body will cope if infectious disease outbreaks become more common in the future.See the Story

AstronomersAstronomers find dwarf galaxies with distorted, perturbed shapes. This is odd, especially if they should be surrounded by dark matter halos. The distorted shapes of the dwarf galaxies seen by the team indicate a problem with our understanding of dark matter. It suggests Newton's law of universal gravitation should be modified to explain why misshapen galaxies look the way they do.See the Story
