Across the United States, local wind and solar jobs can fully replace the coal-plant jobs that will be lost as the nation’s power-generation system moves away from fossil fuels in the coming decades, according to a new University of Michigan study.
Even relatively modest climate warming and associated precipitation shifts may dramatically alter Earth’s northernmost forests, which constitute one of the planet’s largest nearly intact forested ecosystems and are home to a big chunk of the planet’s terrestrial carbon.
A medium-sized sauropod dinosaur inhabited the tropical lowland forested area of the Serranía del Perijá in northern Colombia approximately 175 million years ago, according to a new study by an international team of researchers published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
They are hunters, farmers, harvesters, gliders, herders, weavers and carpenters.
Digital privacy is often framed as an issue for consumers, but Ruslan Momot argues that companies need to consider the concept as a key element of their business.
Marginalized social media users face disproportionate content removal from platforms, but the visibility of this online moderation is a double-edged sword.
An international team of researchers has developed a method for altering one class of antibiotics, using microscopic organisms that produce these compounds naturally.

New computer model accurately predicts behavior of millions of microbial communities from hundreds of experiments, an advance toward precision medicine
The new design is stackable and reconfigurable, for swapping out and building on existing sensors and neural network processors.
A recent U.S. federal court ruling that removes a requirement for employers to provide insurance coverage for the HIV prevention medications known as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, or PrEP, could result in more than 2,000 entirely preventable HIV infections in the coming year, according to a new study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.
Solving the climate crisis and biodiversity crisis are not separate issues. Animals remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide each year. Restoring species will help limit global warming, new science reveals.
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs have developed an alternative method to measure quality of life in veterans who seek weight management, eating disorder, and nutrition services.
On Jan. 20, 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the first American, laboratory-confirmed case of what would eventually be called COVID-19.
