Simulations show how propofol disrupts stride of kinesins that carry cargo
Rice, Los Alamos make low-cost, scalable photocathodes from halide perovskites
Brainwave patterns show elephant seals take short naps while holding their breath on deep dives, averaging just 2 hours of sleep per day while at sea
Rice study models how spilled chemicals likely spread during Ike, Harvey
Researchers identify a key player that helps prevent “insulin shock” and may lead to a therapeutic alternative to the hormone used by millions of persons with diabetes
Plasma processing modifies carbon black powder to catalyze valuable chemical
Rice’s programmable CRISPR/Cas9-based kinase offers insights into, control over regulatory histone proteins
Study examining habitats across centuries reveals an urgent need for sustainable land-use and conservation strategies to avoid dangers for wildlife and human communities
Predictions of future climate change require a clear and nuanced understanding of Earth’s past climate. University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa oceanographers solved a controversy that has been debated in scientific literature for decades by fully reconciling climate and carbon cycle trends of the past 50 million years.
The introduction of invasive, non-native species to Hawaiʻi has made the islands one of the most altered ecosystems on the planet
The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened many of the problems faced by Native Hawaiian communities, but in a new paper, public health researchers detail the numerous efforts of Native Hawaiian-led groups that show these communities’ strength and resilience.
To survive the open ocean, tiny fish larvae must find food, avoid predators and navigate ocean currents to their adult habitats.
A comprehensive review of the COVID-19 pandemic, led by University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center researcher Michele Carbone, was published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.
The team is studying the adoption of these systems as an alternative to fossil fuel-based power plants.
Large parts of the Sahara Desert were green thousands of years ago, evidenced by prehistoric engravings in the desert of giraffes, crocodiles and a stone-age cave painting of humans swimming.
A game-changing discovery by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers reveals a more efficient method of extracting energy when freshwater and saltwater mix
In the early solar system, rocky planets, such as Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars, and the Moon may have been “lava worlds,” with oceans of magma blanketing the surface, according to planetary scientists.
The worldwide impacts of COVID-19 on transportation planning and transport operations are covered in an academic journal’s special issue edited by a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa faculty member.
Rice instructors ‘gamify’ video-recorded experiment for undergraduates
The human brain as we know it today is relatively young. It evolved about 1.7 million years ago when the culture of stone tools in Africa became increasingly complex. A short time later, the new Homo populations spread to Southeast Asia, researchers from the University of Zurich have now shown using computed tomography analyses of fossilized skulls.
