North Carolina State University researchers have designed and tested a new computer model to allow fire managers to map current fire risk in Everglades National Park and across South Florida daily.
Biomarkers in human sperm have been identified that can indicate a propensity to father children with autism spectrum disorder.
Studies of marine invertebrate species reveal genome instructs development using logic and grammar
UC San Diego scientists link high levels of a gene product, abundantly produced by many types of cancer, with an elevated immune response and improved outcomes in the most common form of head and neck cancer.
In both mouse and human motor neuron studies, a DNA designer drug restored levels of a protein necessary to keep motor neurons functioning, returning activity impaired in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; findings could lead to clinical trials.
Scripps Whale Acoustics Lab teams up with shipping giant Maersk to identify vessel designs that reduce radiated noise
Scripps Oceanography scientists and collaborators provide first-of-its-kind assessment of hypoxia, or low oxygen levels, across 32 coral reef sites around the world
Neuroscientist explores how artificial intelligence language models, like the popular ChatGPT chatbot, can further our understanding of the human brain

The difficulties rural-dwelling Native Hawaiian kūpuna (elders) face when seeking healthcare is the focus of a new study conducted by the Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
How do cooks determine if their pan of oil is ready for deep frying? One time-honored technique involves dipping a wooden spoon or chopstick into the oil, and if it starts steadily bubbling, the oil is ready.
“Regenerative” tourism is when visitors travel with a mindset to leave a destination better than it was before they arrived, and experiences go beyond a traditional vacation
A study on underwater noise pollution from seabed mining operations found that noise from one mine alone could travel approximately 500 kilometers (roughly 311 miles) in gentle weather conditions, which could affect the understudied species that live in the deep sea—the largest habitat on Earth. There could also be cumulative impacts where multiple mines operate.
Ancient DNA (aDNA) reveals five streams of migration into Micronesia and matrilocality (patterns of marriage in which the groom resides with the bride’s parents) in early Pacific seafarers.
How the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic created a perfect storm in which private laboratories can earn huge profits from PCR testing while potentially impacting health care premium costs, is described in a June 9 Journal of General Internal Medicine paper published by a team of researchers, including three economists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Social Sciences.
An innovative scientific instrument developed by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers is expected to be a game changer in the search for life—existing or extinct—on Earth and other planets.
Humpback whales may one day avoid Hawaiian waters due to climate change and rising greenhouse gasses, according the findings of a new paper published in Frontiers in Marine Science by a team of researchers including three University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa graduate students—Hannah von Hammerstein and Renee Setter from the Department of Geography and Environment in the College of Social Sciences, and Martin van Aswegen from the Marine Mammal Research Program in the Institute for Marine Biology.
A University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researcher is a part of a team that developed a synthetic way to transform nitrogen into a bioavailable form that could allow for the production of ammonia fertilizer at a much lower cost and ultimately lead to greater food production across the globe.
The reasons behind vaccine hesitancy among Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) in Hawaiʻi at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic are explained in a new University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa study.
