Texas A&M researchers found the bay was two to four times more acidic than normal for at least three weeks after the storm.
Researchers have developed a mathematical framework to analyze the genome and identify the signs of natural selection, unlocking the evolutionary history and future of non-coding DNA.
Completing a nearly 30-year marathon, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has calibrated more than 40 "milepost markers" of space and time to help scientists precisely measure the expansion rate of the universe -- a quest with a plot twist.
The origin of complex cells known as eukaryotes may have been misconstrued for decades, according to new research.
Danish researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University have presented a new study that shows a tiny molecule present in brain cells can affect the levels of hypocretin, which is responsible for regulating our waking and sleeping patterns, keeping us alert during the day and causing drowsiness at night.
Scientists have identified the brain structures responsible for compulsive drug-seeking behaviours due to repeated use of cocaine.
At a traffic light, red means stop and green means go. But transportation engineers at North Carolina State University are now proposing a “white light,” which would enable autonomous vehicles to help control traffic flow –
A new study finds that public attitudes about abortion are closely tied to both religious beliefs and attitudes about race.
A new North Carolina State University study, performed in collaboration with battery testing researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, shows that extremely short pulses from a high-powered laser can cause tiny defects in lithium-ion battery materials – defects that can enhance battery performance.
Antiferroelectric materials have electrical properties that make them advantageous for use in high-density energy storage applications. Researchers have now discovered a size threshold beyond which antiferroelectrics lose those properties, becoming ferroelectric.
Researchers have developed an inhalable powder that could protect lungs and airways from viral invasion by reinforcing the body’s own mucosal layer.
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill used chiral phonons to convert wasted heat into spin information – without needing magnetic materials.
Researchers have shown how moderate egg consumption can increase the amount of heart-healthy metabolites in the blood.
Cell division in moss and animals more similar than previously thought, according to a new study.
In a new study, researchers found that the PFAS chemical GenX suppresses the neutrophil respiratory burst – the method white blood cells known as neutrophils use to kill invading pathogens.
Swirling magnetic whirlpools help to process data in a pattern-recognition device that mimics networks in the brain
University of Michigan researchers and their colleagues used a nationwide COVID-19 lockdown in Nepal as a natural experiment to test the responses of two GPS-collared tigers to dramatic reductions in traffic volume along a national highway.
Next-gen computing material gets down to the right size for modern manufacturing
Photonic fibers borrow from butterfly wings to enable invisible, indelible sorting labels
With a big assist from artificial intelligence and a heavy dose of human touch, Tim Cernak’s lab at the University of Michigan made a discovery that dramatically speeds up the time-consuming chemical process of building molecules that will be tomorrow’s medicines, agrichemicals or materials.
