Analysing the charred remains of plants can confirm the locations of asteroid strikes in the distant past, new research shows.
Researchers are protecting great apes from diseases by studying the behaviour and expectations of tourists who visit them.
Active participation in internet forums has the potential to provide life-changing social benefits and wellbeing for people who are in remission from opioid use disorder
A radical decentralisation of politics and decision-making in Iran is needed to allow Kurdish communities to benefit from natural resources, experts have argued.
Honeybees rely heavily on flower patterns – not just colours – when searching for food, new research shows.
Careful deals negotiated by Virginia Woolf’s husband with Penguin Books helped her work reach a mass market, a new study shows.
Multiple climate tipping points could be triggered if global temperature rises beyond 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, according to a major new analysis published in the journal Science.
Scientists studying how a common tuberculosis vaccine works have discovered that it induces a previously unknown mechanism in the gut that triggers a systemic immune alert, which then causes changes in the innate immune system in the lung to fend off not just tuberculosis, but a broad range of respiratory pathogens
Just three to four one-minute bursts of activity during daily tasks is associated with large reductions in the risk of premature death, particularly from cardiovascular disease.
Long-term consumption of Allura Red food dye can be a potential trigger of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, says McMaster researcher Waliul Khan, using experimental animal models of IBD.
New Year’s Day is a busy time for Canadian lakeshores and riverbanks, as daredevils gather to take the plunge — the polar bear plunge.
Middle-aged adults living with frailty in the community were more likely to find accessing health care difficult during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic than their older counterparts, says McMaster University researcher Lauren Griffith.
The RIKEN Prediction Science Laboratory in Japan has developed technology that uses machines to detect tsunami impacts in less than a second.
Organ development has been modeled in the lab by selectively activating signaling pathways in the embryo
Researchers at the University of Michigan have learned why flow batteries, using the metal cerium in a sulfuric acid electrolyte, fall short on voltage, a discovery that could pave the way for better battery chemistry in the future.
RIKEN chemists in Japan have discovered a fluorescent organic compound that avoids "Hund’s rule," a quantum-mechanical principle that has limited the energy efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for nearly a century, and which could lead to major advances in OLED technology.
Researchers have developed an optimized genetic test for ovarian cancer, which helps accurately target an effective but expensive medication.
According to a new Finnish study, birds overwintering on arable land experienced fastest northward shifts due to climate change compared with birds of the same species overwintering in urban and forest habitats.
The share of walking in cities should increase, but challenges remain. A recent study by the Digital Geography Lab group reveals what effect age, winter conditions and the service network have on the 15-minute city.
A new study shows that North American bird communities containing functionally diverse species have changed less under climate change during the past 50 years than functionally simple communities.
