Researchers from North Carolina State University have taken technology aimed at helping humans suffering from lymphedema – in which the accumulation of excess lymph fluid causes swollen limbs – and developed a medical device to aid horses suffering from the same condition.
A new study finds that the Atlantic Coast and eastern Gulf Coast of the United States are likely to see significant increases in nutrient loading in coming decades, putting those areas at heightened risk of experiencing harmful algal blooms.
A recent analysis of the online #StopAsianHate movement finds that the frameworks scholars use to understand social justice movements need to address the extent to which activists reflect on their own involvement and derive satisfaction from the process of activism itself – as opposed to focusing solely on progress toward the goal of social change.
North Carolina State University researchers used satellite imagery and field sensors to estimate worldwide changes in plant leaf growth due to global warming.
A genetic study involving people from five different ancestral backgrounds has uncovered novel genetic mechanisms involved in rheumatoid arthritis
In a discovery that could have important implications for low-power computer memory, RIKEN researchers have shown that an entire sample can be switched between different magnetic states, or phases, simply by applying an electrical current1.
A new study utilizing data from the Health and Retirement Study at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research is offering a new look at the effects of aging and what they mean for population health.
A team from the University of Michigan has developed a new software tool to help researchers across the life sciences more efficiently analyze animal behaviors.
Simulations suggest this mechanism could provide a tenfold increase in frequency—likely hitting a peak power of 100 trillion watts in XUV
The algorithm uses direct muscle measurement, with the potential to seamlessly support a user who switches between walking and running
Decisions on cancer treatment could become better tailored to individual patients with the adoption of a new imaging method being developed by University of Michigan researchers that maps the chemical makeup of a patient’s tumor.
UVA Health scientists have discovered an unknown contributor to harmful blood vessel growth in the eye that could lead to new treatments for blinding macular degeneration and other common causes of vision loss.
A single dose of the antibiotic azithromycin can help protect mothers from dangerous sepsis infections and death during vaginal childbirth, a sweeping new international study from a UVA Health scientist and his collaborators has found.
UC Riverside mouse study finds paternal exposure to phthalates increases risk of metabolic diseases in progeny
UArizona researchers put general relativity to a new test with black hole images.
Scientists' ice age "hindcast" may shed light on future climate.
Surrounded by a vast ocean underneath a thick ice shell, Enceladus is a hot candidate for potentially harboring alien life. A team of researchers led by the University of Arizona concluded that a future mission could provide answers even without landing on the tiny world.
What is velvety, red, pea-sized and can be seen scurrying across the ground in the desert Southwest after a torrential rainstorm?
An open-air, living laboratory that spans parts of Arizona and New Mexico is helping researchers better understand how mineral weathering – the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals over time – feeds into Earth's intricate life-support system.
Most biologists have assumed that ants wander aimlessly around a new environment. New University of Arizona research suggests that one species of rock ant actually searches in a more methodical way.
