Auburn Research Team Examines Role Of Climate-Smart Forestry In Southeast

An Auburn University research team has published the first study to define, outline and apply novel climate-smart forestry, or CSF, principles to North America, specifically the Southern United States.

Auburn Researcher: Phosphorus Shortage Could Affect Worldwide Crop Yields

While phosphorus is an essential element for plant metabolism and growth, its future supply under elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide is uncertain.

‘Smart’ Coating Could Make Fabrics Into Protective Gear

Precisely applied metal-organic technology detects and captures toxic gases in air.

Salt Could Play Key Role in Energy Transition

A common ingredient – salt – could have a big role to play in the energy transition to lower carbon energy sources.

Anti-Dust Tech Paves Way for Self-Cleaning Surfaces

Dust is a common fact of life, and it’s more than just a daily nuisance – it can get into machinery and equipment, causing loss of efficiency or breakdowns.

UCLA-Led Study Explains How One of Saturn’s Moons Ejects Particles From Oceans Beneath Its Surface

Although it is relatively small, Enceladus — the sixth largest of Saturn’s 83 moons — has been considered by astronomers to be one of the more compelling bodies in our solar system.

A Mysterious Object Is Being Dragged into The Supermassive Black Hole At The Milky Way’s Center

UCLA astronomers think the object, X7, might be debris cloud from a stellar collision

New Data From DART Mission Show A 33-Minute Change In Asteroid Orbit After Impact

A new study released today found that NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) knocked the asteroid Dimorphos off its orbit, changing it by 33 minutes.

Emerging Field of Evolutionary Medicine Could Address Range Of Health Conditions

UCLA researchers say the approach could help tackle cancer, antibiotic resistance, food-related disorders

Harmful Bacteria Elude Predators When in Mixed Colonies

Harnessing natural killers to treat infections may fail when bacterial species blend.
