Individual bacteria and biofilms, once they’ve devoured nearby nutrients, can generate currents strong enough to draw distant nutrients, finds a new Stanford study. Figuring out how bacteria bring in nutrients could point to ways of killing them without poison.

Isotretinoin, a form of vitamin A, reduces oil production in the skin, which helps prevent acne from forming. But new research has uncovered a previously unknown benefit of the medication. It shifts the skin microbiome of acne patients to more closely resemble that of people with normal skin.

New battery-free device less than 1 cm across generate electric pulses, from the stomach’s natural motions, to the vagus nerve, duping the brain into thinking that the stomach is full after only a few nibbles of food. In lab tests, the devices helped rats shed almost 40% of their body weight.

The molecule that helps exercise protect the brain from Alzheimer’s. Study finds that exercise sends irisin, a molecular messenger, to the brain. Previous studies had found that irsin stimulated genes in the hippocampus, a region of the brain essential for making and storing memories in the brain.

Hanging by fishing line a single rod of aluminum is shaped into connected helixes- one clockwise the other counterclockwise. When spinning the rotational motion creates translational motion both upwards and downwards along the vertical direction
