New research has highlighted the importance of a species of jellyfish-like creatures called salps, which feed on microscopic plants called phytoplankton in the ocean. The ocean plays a crucial role in absorbing large quantities of carbon dioxide in a process called carbon export, which is essential to combatting climate change, according to a news release.
Red squirrels that gamble with their reproduction strategy outperform their counterparts in terms of Darwinian fitness, even if it costs them in the short term, according to a recent study by researchers at the University of Michigan.
Researchers at the University of Michigan estimate that a majority of people who own vehicles in the United States will see a drop in how much they spend on transportation energy if they made the switch to an electric vehicle (EV).
Innovations that make the food supply chain more “responsible” – eco-friendly, good for public health, fairer to farmers – will come faster if the contexts that set the stage for them are better understood, according to a new Université de Montréal study.
Researchers discover simultaneous evolutionary history of gut microbes with their human hosts over hundreds of thousands of years
Can a complex nonlinear world arise from a single universal wave function? This is the question asked by mathematician George F. Ellis, and his answer is "no."
Researchers from the University of Michigan and Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz have proposed a new model for dark matter particles called HighlY Interactive ParticlE Relics or HYPER, a news release said.
A team of University of Michigan (U-M) researchers are experimenting on thruster technology that could potentially power a crewed mission to Mars.
