Red squirrels that gamble with their reproduction strategy outperform their counterparts in terms of Darwinian fitness, even if it costs them in the short term, according to a recent study by researchers at the University of Michigan.
New research has highlighted the importance of a species of jellyfish-like creatures called salps, which feed on microscopic plants called phytoplankton in the ocean. The ocean plays a crucial role in absorbing large quantities of carbon dioxide in a process called carbon export, which is essential to combatting climate change, according to a news release.
Chimpanzees, like human teenagers, are more impulsive, risk-seeking, and less able to regulate their emotions than adults, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Michigan.
Researchers at the University of Michigan's Department of Astronomy believe a new study has provided insight into the chemistry behind planet formation.
Scientists at the University of Michigan have found a way to increase the efficiency in converting water into hydrogen and oxygen to 9% through a new type of solar panel.
Researchers have discovered that some species of reef fish have found it harder to pinpoint its competitors due largely to the mass coral reef bleaching events.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have worked with marine mammal park Dolphin Quest Oahu to develop wearable activity tracking devices called biologging tags to help improve conservation efforts for dolphins.
University of Michigan researchers have discovered a way to chemically recycle polyvinyl chloride (PVC) into usable material, according to a study published in the journal Nature Chemistry, a university news release said.
University of Michigan researchers have developed a new welding process that could revolutionize the way vehicles are made, the school said in a news release.
Researchers at the University of Michigan and Arts et Métiers ParisTech have been able to figure out a 125-year-old medical mystery that could help treat patients with fluid build up in their lungs.
Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a novel artificial intelligence-based approach for identifying high-affinity antibody drugs, a news release said.
Efforts to promote the health of wild bees and managed honeybee colonies should take into account specific habitat needs, such as the density of wildflowers, according to a recent study from the University of Michigan and the University of Washington.
A new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change has revealed that old-growth trees are more drought-tolerant than younger trees and can withstand future climate extremes more efficiently, the University of Michigan said in a news release.
Researchers at the University of Illinois and the University of Michigan have discovered a self-assembled pinwheel structure that could have a variety of useful applications.
The RIKEN Prediction Science Laboratory in Japan has developed technology that uses machines to detect tsunami impacts in less than a second.
RIKEN scientists in Japan have created a “self-healing” polymer made from a common chemical that is aimed, not only at minimizing the environmental impacts of commercial polymers, but also improving durability and cost efficiency.
With the world experiencing an increase in drought since the beginning of the millennium, Japan-based RIKEN has created a cost-effective soil treatment intended on increasing the survival rate of crops by 10 times.
Scientists have revealed and elaborated on the global biomass and population of insects and other arthropods in a research article published by Science Advances in early 2023.
The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) recently agreed to recognize viriforms as a new category of virus-derived genetic elements, viroids and satellite nucleic acids, according to an MDPI article published Feb. 3.
Scientists have developed a new mouse model with a high clonal barcode diversity for joint lineage, transcriptomic, and epigenomic profiling in single cells, according to a report published by bioRxiv on Jan. 31.
