A decades-long study by the University of Zurich, with colleagues from Leipzig and Jena, found that diverse plant communities require about 10 years to stabilize and produce a consistent amount of biomass, emphasizing the importance of biodiversity in sustaining an ecosystem.
Experts from the University of Exeter have recommended that children receive lessons in school on building strong relationships to counteract negative role models and unrealistic portrayals of love.
A 2022 study, conducted by Associate Professor Dr. Kyriaki Noussia, Dr. Catherine Caine and Whitney Richardson, emphasizes the need for "robust" amendments to insurance law and international environmental law to facilitate legal carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) in the fight against global warming.
Research from the universities of Exeter, Bath, and Lancaster has found that the way social groups communicate online could reveal how the group views itself, and could make it easier to track how a group’s values change over time.
A study by the University of Exeter of medieval medical texts found that fertility was considered to have a "cut-off point" instead of a gradual decline with age, with men thought to remain fertile longer than women.
A recent study that was conducted by Alexe Bilodeau-Houle through her master's degree at Université de Montréal has found that children with less secure attachment relationship and high physiological concordance with their parents are more likely to be fearful. According to a press release, the study was published in the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology in February, and showed factors that influence observational fear learning in children.
As the world grapples with the challenges of biodiversity loss and deforestation, this research offers a fresh perspective on the potential for conservation and sustainable land-use practices in logged tropical forests.
In a 2022 study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, researchers, including Dr. Janet Geipel from the University of Exeter Business School, found that the way information is presented, either spoken or written, affects how people think.
Underwater cameras have provided insight into the feeding habits of nurse sharks, which reveal their flexibility and skills during feeding activirties. According to a release by the University of Exeter which conducted the study with NGO Beneath the Waves, baited remote underwater video (BRUV) cameras were used off the Turks and Caicos Islands, and found the sharks with habits including vertical feeding, ventral feeding and pectoral positioning.
In December 2022, researchers from the University of Exeter Business School and the University of Regensburg published a groundbreaking study in Nature: Scientific Reports, examining the influence of gender identity and biological sex on economic decision-making.
Dr. Farid Saleh, lead author from the University of Lausanne and Yunnan University, along with an international research team, recently discovered evidence of giant arthropods dominating the seas 470 million years ago at the Taichoute fossil site in Morocco. These remarkable findings shed light on the ancient ecosystems of the now-deserted Taichoute region, challenging previously described Fezouata Shale sites located 80km away.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed an innovative inhalable powder that enhances the body's natural defense mechanisms against viral invasion. The powder, known as Spherical Hydrogel Inhalation for Enhanced Lung Defense (SHIELD), reinforces the mucosal layer of the lungs and airways, reducing infection rates.
A new report by the Global Carbon Project science team revealed in 2022 that global carbon emissions in 2022 reached record levels, posing a severe threat to efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
On February 2023, researchers from the University of Bristol, led by Professor Tim Caro and Dr. Martin How, uncovered the reason behind the distinctive thin stripes and sharp outlines found on zebra fur. Published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, the study reveals that these specific characteristics effectively deter horsefly attacks by eliminating the attractiveness of large monochrome dark patches to the insects.
A new study publish earlier this year and conducted by researchers at North Carolina State University and the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has revealed a groundbreaking technique that can improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries, according to a news release. The research opens up possibilities for enhancing the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries, which have significant implications for portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage.
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have made a groundbreaking discovery by using chiral phonons to convert wasted heat into spin information without the need for magnetic materials.
Significant advancement was achieved by scientists from the School of Medicine in comprehending the underlying mechanisms of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a common condition where fat builds up in the liver.
Researchers from the University of Michigan have made a significant breakthrough in tracking microplastics from space.
Researchers at the University of Michigan have made a groundbreaking discovery that they say dramatically increases the process of building molecules for pharmaceuticals, agrichemicals and materials with the help of artificial intelligence.
Physicists from the University of Michigan, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Hawaii and other international institutions, have made a groundbreaking discovery providing evidence for "cosmological coupling" in black holes.
