Mechanical engineers at Rice University and Waseda University in Tokyo have dramatically advanced their computational fluid dynamics models of airflow around a moving car and its tires.
Life in the concrete jungle can be rough, particularly for butterflies, but urban green spaces can hold surprising diversity and may become more important than ever in insect pollinator conservation, according to a new study from University of Arizona researchers.
The deep sea contains more than 90% of the water in our oceans, but only about a third of all fish species. Scientists have long thought the explanation for this was intuitive — shallow ocean waters are warm and full of resources, making them a prime location for new species to evolve and thrive. But a new University of Washington study led by Elizabeth Miller reports that throughout Earth’s ancient history, there were several periods of time when many fish actually favored the cold, dark, barren waters of the deep sea.
Rice theorists show how tight ‘diet’ could produce single-chirality carbon nanotubes
Employees often engage in "mood repair" after a tense morning with a partner, University of Arizona researchers say.
Today, by and large, patients receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s only after they exhibit well-known signs of the disease, such as memory loss. By that point, the best treatment options simply slow further progression of symptoms.
Planetary nebulae are shells of gas and dust shed by certain types of dying stars, mostly likely including the sun in another 6 billion years. New data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is shedding light on how and why these nebulae form.
Businesses that offer public declarations of support for the Black community after violent events like the murder of George Floyd and other serious incidents are more attractive to prospective employees and have bigger bottom lines, according to new research from Rice University.
Less than a year after the James Webb Space Telescope's Christmas Day launch in 2021, scientists have captured images of the most distant galaxies ever seen.
Last month for the first time, the US Preventative Services Task Force recommended screening for anxiety in children and adolescents aged 8 to 18 years.
Take a common form of yeast, a 3D printer, and some clever science, and what do you have? A versatile and nutritious food system for tomorrow’s discerning space traveller.
Pedro Alvarez, Michael Wong, Shell’s Mike Reynolds share honor for project to remediate, reuse fracking water
Following a record-breaking drought over the summer, China is on the brink of a water catastrophe that could have devastating consequences for global food security, energy markets and supply chains, according to a report from Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy.
Engineers dig deep to detail magnetic mechanism of gadolinium-based agents
Isolation no barrier as rainforest animals follow the daily dictates of time and temperature
High-throughput method is first for screening bacterial receptor-peptide interactions

The UH Health Family Care Center, a new on-campus health clinic that provides affordable, comprehensive and integrated primary care and mental health services to the University of Houston community and surrounding neighborhoods, is now open and accepting new patients.
A research team led by the University of Houston has developed a vaccine targeting the dangerous synthetic opioid fentanyl that could block its ability to enter the brain, thus eliminating the drug’s “high.”
AUSTIN, Texas — Stress is common in all marriages, but same-sex married couples cope with that stress more positively and collaboratively than different-sex couples, according to a new study from researchers at The University of Texas at Austin.
