CORVALLIS, Ore. – New research into antimicrobial peptides, small chains of amino acids able to damage bacterial cells, shows why some peptides are more effective at doing that and also why some cells are more vulnerable.The findings open the door to designing novel compounds for killing disease-causing organisms that have become resistant to antibiotics. These compounds would represent a major breakthrough against a pervasive global problem, said study co-leader Myriam Cotten of Oregon State University.“Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat throughout the world,” said Cotten, associate professor of biochemistry and biophysics in the OSU College of Science. “In 2021, almost 5 million people died of antimicrobial resistance. Almost 40 million are predicted to die of it between 2025 and 2050.”Found in all living things, peptides have a variety of forms and functions, including as hormones, neurotransmitters, and signaling molecules in cells. As antimicrobials, they help make up the first line of defense against bacterial infection, often by causing bacterial cells’ contents to leak out of the membrane, compromising cellular function.The research by Cotten and collaborators at William & Mary and the National Institutes of Health focused on the specific states that give rise to membrane disruption. The study combined lab experiments with computational work conducted by the NIH’s National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute and shed light on the characteristics of the holes, known as pores, that antimicrobial peptides form in membranes. The pores form when the peptides that coat the outside of the cell start flipping across the membrane to balance out their numbers on each side.“This information is very powerful since it provides the basis to explain why some peptides are more active than others and why some membranes are easier to target,” Cotten said. “We learned that the peptides that disrupt membranes more dramatically form pores in the membranes that are larger in size and number and stay open longer. It makes sense but the crucial novelty of our work is that we now have a mathematical equation that relates the effectiveness of membrane damage and pore characteristics. We can start applying it to identify properties required for optimal efficacy.”The scientists also found that certain membranes carry defects that help peptides form that type of pore, insight that opens the door to designing peptides that specifically target bacterial cells based on their distinct membrane composition.The findings are applicable to therapies beyond those for treating infectious diseases, Cotten added, since immune-system peptides are active on cancer cells as well. New cancer treatments are urgently needed, she noted, as more than 2 million new cancer diagnoses and more than 500,000 cancer deaths are predicted for the United States in 2025.The research, supported by the National Institutes of Health and co-led by the NIH’s Richard Pastor, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Sector OverviewToday's stock market heatmap reveals a vibrant landscape, with the technology sector leading the way, driven primarily by a robust performance in semiconductors and software infrastructure. Key player Nvidia (NVDA) surged by 2.84%, bolstering the semiconductor space, while Microsoft (MSFT) enjoyed a 0.76% gain, underlining a strong showing for software giants. Semiconductor company Avago (AVGO) added to the sector's strength with a 1.01% rise.Market Mood and TrendsThe overall sentiment in the market appears cautiously optimistic, supported by gains in major tech players. Investors seem confident about the continued demand for tech products and innovations, driving interest in stocks such as Google (GOOG), which is up by 1.01%. However, concerns linger in the consumer electronics sector, as highlighted by Apple's (AAPL) slight dip of 0.52%.Big Winners and Losers🚀 Winners: Besides tech giants, a notable gainer today is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) with a 2.42% increase, reflecting investor optimism in cutting-edge chip technologies. In the software application sector, Salesforce (CRM) experienced a moderate rise of 0.15%.📉 Losers: The energy sector faces pressure, with ExxonMobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) down by 2.16% and 2.33% respectively, possibly due to fluctuating oil prices. The industrial sector is also under strain, with Boeing (BA) seeing a notable decrease of 1.87%.Strategic RecommendationsInvestors may consider increasing exposure to the thriving technology sector, particularly in semiconductors and software. Keeping a close watch on Nvidia and other major tech stocks could allow investors to capitalize on potential upward momentum. Additionally, diversifying into consumer cyclical stocks such as Amazon (AMZN), which shows resilience at 0.73%, might mitigate risks. However, caution is advised in the energy sector due to ongoing volatility.As the market exhibits mixed dynamics, it's crucial to maintain a diversified portfolio while staying informed through real-time data and analysis.

Have you played around with the new iOS 26 yet? Here's how to download it on your iPhone if you haven't yet — once you do, you'll notice several new changes, including a clear design called Liquid Glass. The translucent look can be found within apps as well as your lock and home screens. (You can't turn it off, but you can reduce the transparency to make it less clear.) The overhaul is one of several big changes that come with iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS and the rest of Apple's software suite — the new operating system updates for those gadgets are also available to download now.You'll also see multiple useful additions in the Phone and Messages apps. For instance, the ability to weed out spam texts or unknown senders and an option to hold your spot on a phone call when you've been waiting for a representative to pick up. And for fun, you can now create polls in group texts. Other new improvements coming include a confirmed AirPods live translation feature, and a new bouncy animation on the passcode screen and in the Control Center.If you're planning to upgrade your phone this year, take a look at all the new models Apple unveiled during its iPhone 17 event, from the iPhone 17 lineup (check out our review of the iPhone 17) to the all-new ultra-thin iPhone Air (take a look at our hands-on review). If you missed the keynote, you can catch up on everything Apple announced here or rewatch the full iPhone 17 launch. The company rounded out its announcements with three new Apple Watch models, as well as the brand-new AirPods Pro 3.Most newer iPhone models are eligible to download iOS 26. We've rounded up a full list of new features you'll have to check out. If you're waiting to update your phone until iOS 26.1 becomes available, note that the beta version is available now so it shouldn't be too long before it's released to the public.What is iOS 26 and should I download iOS 18.7 first?Instead of releasing iOS 19, Apple skipped its naming convention ahead to iOS 26. The company has decided to line up its iOS version numbers with a year-based system, similar to car model years. So while iOS and its sibling operating systems were released in 2025, they're all designated "26" to reflect the year ahead. Apple also released iOS 18.7 alongside iOS 26 to address security issues — great news if you don't have a phone that's eligible to run the latest OS. If you're wondering which one to download first, it's really up to you. Do you want to wait for Apple to quash any bugs in iOS 26 or do you want access to all the new features everyone's talking about now?It's official, we're moving to iOS 26. (Apple)What is Liquid Glass design?Let's be honest. Out of everything announced at WWDC this year, the new Liquid Glass design was the star of the show. The iPhone's home and lock screens have looked pretty much the same year after year — the last exciting thing (in my opinion) was the option to add your own aesthetic to your home screen by customizing your apps and widgets. So seeing the home and lock screens' new facelift is refreshing.So what exactly is Liquid Glass? Apple calls it a "new translucent material" since, well, the apps and widgets are clear. However, the screen can still adapt to dark and light modes, depending on surroundings. You'll also notice buttons with a new floating design in several apps, like Phone and Maps. They're designed to be less distracting than the current buttons, but are still easy to see. While the design overhaul has proven to be controversial since its announcement, some — including Engadget's Devindra Hardawar — like the new direction, even if it's somewhat reminiscent of Microsoft's translucent Windows Vista Aero designs from nearly twenty years ago.That said, while it was in beta mode, Apple incorporated some user feedback into the design, dialing back the transparency in at least some places. And while it will continue to evolve, Apple users won't be able to escape it: The company says Liquid Glass was designed to make all of its platforms more cohesive. Here's a look at how the translucent aesthetic looks with the new macOS Tahoe 26 on your desktop.How to turn iOS 26 Liquid Glass settings offIf you find you don't like the new clear look after downloading iOS 26, you can change a couple Accessibility settings, though you can't completely turn off Liquid Glass. For starters, you can reduce the liquid look by going to Settings > Accessibility > Motion > toggle on Reduce Motion. You can make your drop-down menus more opaque instead of translucent by going to Settings >Accessibility > Display & Text Size > toggle on Reduce Transparency.You can also change your clear apps back to the way they were. Just press and hold any app on your screen and select Edit Home Screen. From here, tap Edit (top left) and Customize. You can swap out to Default, Dark or Tinted.What are the new and notable features of iOS 26?iOS 26 has a laundry list of new features. Among the most worthwhile:Phone app redesign: You can now scroll through contacts, recent calls and voicemail messages all on one screen. It also comes with a new feature called Hold Assist that'll notify you when an agent comes to the phone so you can avoid the elevator music and continue on with other tasks.Live Translation in Phone, FaceTime and Messages: iOS 26 brings the ability to have a conversation via phone call, FaceTime or text message with someone who speaks another language. Live Translation uses Apple Intelligence and it will translate your conversation in real time, which results in some stop-and-go interactions in the examples Apple shared during its presentation.Polls in group chats: Tired of sorting through what seems like hundreds of messages in your group chat? You and your friends can now create polls in group messages to decide things like which brunch spot you're eating at or whose car you're taking on a road trip.Filtering unknown senders in Messages: If you haven't received spam texts about unpaid tolls or other citations, you're lucky. For those of us who have, those annoying messages will soon be filtered away in a separate folder.Visual Intelligence: Similar to a reverse Google image search, this new feature will allow you to search for anything that's on your iPhone screen. For instance, if you spot a pair of shoes someone is wearing in an Instagram photo, you can screenshot it and use Visual Intelligence to find those shoes (or similar ones) online.Photos tabs are back: For anyone who's been frustrated with last year's changes to the Photos app, you'll be happy to know that your tabs are back. Library and Collections have their own separate spaces so you don't have to scroll to infinity to find what you're looking for.Camera app updates: Navigating the Camera app should be simpler in iOS 26, as all the buttons and menus are in convenient spots — less swiping, more photo taking. Plus, there's a new feature that tells you if your lens needs to be cleaned. FaceTime "Communication Safety" feature: A newer addition to iOS 26 appears to be the FaceTime "Communication Safety" feature that pauses communications if and when nudity is detected. The feature appears to be a child safety feature that uses on-device detection, thus obviating any cloud-based privacy issues. New lock screen options: The iPhone lock screen is more customizable in iOS 26, with a cooler clock, 3D wallpaper effects, more widgets and better focus mode options. New alarm setting: You'll no longer be stuck with the 9-minute snooze setting in your alarms. Instead, you now have the option to change your snooze time from one to 15 minutes.Screenshots look different: You'll notice several new features when you take a screenshot, including "highlight to search," the option to search your image on Google and ChatGPT is there for any questions you have about the image.Preview on iOS 26: There's a new app called Preview that lets you scan documents, fill out PDF forms, as well as highlight, underline or strike through text in a PDF file. You can also remove backgrounds from images in this app. Apple's Hold Assist will be nifty for those pesky services that put you on hold for 10 or more minutes. (Apple)New changes with iPadOS 26Your iPad isn't getting left behind when it comes to big updates. Here's what to look for.Multitasking and real windowing: When you download the newest update, you'll be able to have multiple apps running on your screen at the same time. Once you open an app, it'll appear on your screen as normal but you'll be able to resize and move it across your screen to make room for other apps. This feature is optional so you can turn it off if you don't like it.Visual update: Along with the other new OSes, iPadOS 26 also has the Liquid Glass aesthetic. This new look appears on the lock and home screens, as well as the drop-down menus.New menu bar: When you swipe down on your screen, the new menu bar will appear with options like File, Edit, Windows and more. There's also a search option if you're looking for something specific.There's more beyond that, so be sure to check out our first impressions of iPadOS 26. What about AirPods?AirPods are also getting updated with iOS 26. Here are some of the more notable functions.Enhanced audio recording: Apple calls this "studio-quality" audio recording, and with it, you'll notice more clarity while in noisy environments.Camera remote control: Using this, you can take a photo or start and stop video recording with just one press on your AirPods. When taking photos, you'll get a three-second countdown before your iPhone or iPad snaps the picture.Live translation feature: Live translation is available on AirPods Pro 3, AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 with ANC when paired with iPhones running iOS 26. Apple says that when someone speaks to you in a different language, you can use your AirPods to translate what they’re saying.Heart rate monitoring: Apple introduced new AirPods Pro 3 earbuds this month, which include heart rate monitoring. It will work with Apple's Health app and other fitness apps that track heart rates.Did Siri get an update?Siri is in a holding pattern. Apple has previously specified that its smarter voice assistant — first promised at WWDC 2024 — is delayed until some point "in the coming year," so you shouldn't expect any major changes right now. But there are reports that Apple is aiming to give Siri a bigger brain transplant by basing it on third-party artificial intelligence models like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude, which could make 2026 a pivotal year. The company is also reportedly working on a "stripped-down" AI chatbot to rival ChatGPT.Which iPhones will be able to upgrade to iOS 26?A few iPhone models that run the current version of iOS — iPhone XR, XS and XS Max — aren't compatible with the latest upgrade.
