For the first time, astronomers have spotted an exoplanet with a decaying orbit around a star that resembles a future version of our Sun.
As climate change continues, human cases of rat lungworm disease are anticipated to become more widespread globally, especially in places where the parasite that causes the disease is not yet present.
The synthetic production of a critical building block called methanediamine for the first time by researchers in University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Department of Chemistry could lead to key insights into the origins of life.
As with many natural phenomena, scientists look to the climate of the past to understand what may lie ahead as Earth warms.

Carefully placed no-fishing zones can help to restore tunas and other large, iconic fish species, according to a study published in Science led by two University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers.
Corals live symbiotically with a variety of microscopic algae that provide most of the energy corals require, and some algae can make coral more resilient to heat stress.
Under a worst-case scenario, half of coral reef ecosystems worldwide will permanently face unsuitable conditions in just over a dozen years, if climate change continues unabated.
Support for groundbreaking studies on torrential rainfall, lightning and severe thunderstorms in Hawaiʻi and Colorado is the focus of a long-term partnership between the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) and philanthropist Jonathan Merage.
How old is our universe, and what is its size? A team of researchers led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa astronomers Brent Tully and Ehsan Kourkchi from the Institute for Astronomy have assembled the largest-ever compilation of high-precision galaxy distances, called Cosmicflows-4
Obesity rates among women in Latin America are particularly high (29% in 2016), and the region holds the second-highest rate of teen pregnancies in the world, with an estimated 18% of teen pregnancies among women under 20 years old, according to The United Nations Population Fund. Studies of adult women have found associations between teen pregnancy and obesity later in life, but it’s not entirely clear why these two phenomena are related.
