A new study published in the journal Environmental Communication has found that the terms "carbon emissions" and "carbon pollution" are more effective at communicating the causes and impacts of climate change than the term "greenhouse gas emissions."
Some researchers are criticizing publication of scientific findings in the media before the results have been peer reviewed and published in science journals.
Cotton farmers in West Texas could be missing out on increased yields by not applying enough potassium, or K, to their soils, according to recent research.
A study published in the April issue of "Journal of South American Earth Sciences” presents new insights on the tectono-magmatic history of Los Tuxtlas, in comparison to other similar volcanic complexes in the eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.
A new study, from the CDC-funded INSPIRE registry, has found that half of the COVID-19 patients and one-quarter of COVID-negative patients, who had acute COVID-19-like symptoms, tested positive, for at least one symptom, three months later.
A machine learning model used by Yale University researchers has identified various elements associated with a higher risk of physician turnover, a disruptive and costly problem in the healthcare industry.
Weizmann Institute of Science researchers have found that arthropods are just as important to the environment as humans and farm animals as they have a biomass of about one billion tons, according to a recent study led by Professor Ron Milo.
A recent study found that freshwater fish are significantly more contaminated with toxic forever chemicals than compared to saltwater fish and shellfish.
A recent study found that racial stressors likely cause the brains of Black Americans age faster.
A new study by researchers at University of California, Irvine (UCI) indicates that an individual's genetic sex influences the way muscle tissue communicates with other other tissues and organs in the body.
An evolutionary tree can be a tangled web, and a team of British scientists at the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath say that using anatomical comparisons to unravel those trees for organisms could prove to be misleading.
The complex mental condition known as bipolar disorder is characterized by alternating periods of elevated and depressed moods, as well as mixed states of both. At this time, there is not a reliable biomarker on the market that can be used to diagnose or monitor the disease.
UT Austin researchers confirmed that the genetic control region they discovered only controls the expression of a sodium channel gene in muscle and no other tissues. In this image, a green fluorescent protein lights up only in trunk muscle in a developing zebrafish embryo. Image credit: Mary Swartz/Johann Eberhart/University of Texas at Austin.
In the marine fossil record, Raup and Sepkoski identified five distinct periods of time when there was a significant amount of species loss.
A comprehensive analysis of covalently closed circular RNA across ecosystems reveals that viroids infect a diverse collection of host species, including those that aren't plants. The study also discovers other types of ribozyme activity and functional properties in these molecules.
A recent study that was carried out by genetics specialists Panagiotis I. Sergounioti, Ewan Birney and Tomas Fitzgerald has shed light on the significant disparities that exist between the genetics of rare diseases and those of common diseases.
Chinese researchers recently published a study indicating that moderate egg consumption can help boost heart health.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently reached a new milestone in its nearly 30-year mission of helping scientists measure the expansion rate of the universe.
A reassessment of Faxinalipterus minimus, supposedly a Triassic pterosaur from southern Brazil, resulted in the creation of a new taxon, according to a Science Daily article published May 4
For the first time since its discovery 130 years ago, one of the most mysterious fossil vertebrates finally has been classified, increasing our possible understanding of the first animals to crawl the Earth.
