Organ development has been modeled in the lab by selectively activating signaling pathways in the embryo
Researchers at the University of Michigan have learned why flow batteries, using the metal cerium in a sulfuric acid electrolyte, fall short on voltage, a discovery that could pave the way for better battery chemistry in the future.
RIKEN chemists in Japan have discovered a fluorescent organic compound that avoids "Hund’s rule," a quantum-mechanical principle that has limited the energy efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for nearly a century, and which could lead to major advances in OLED technology.
Researchers have developed an optimized genetic test for ovarian cancer, which helps accurately target an effective but expensive medication.
According to a new Finnish study, birds overwintering on arable land experienced fastest northward shifts due to climate change compared with birds of the same species overwintering in urban and forest habitats.
The share of walking in cities should increase, but challenges remain. A recent study by the Digital Geography Lab group reveals what effect age, winter conditions and the service network have on the 15-minute city.
A new study shows that North American bird communities containing functionally diverse species have changed less under climate change during the past 50 years than functionally simple communities.
A study conducted at the University of Helsinki, Finland set out to determine how 13 dog breeds performed in various cognitive tests.
New results from the FinnGen study demonstrate the undeniable benefits of Finnish health research environment for genomic research.
A large-scale biobank-based study performed in Finland has discovered several new disease genes as well as new insights on how known genetic factors affect disease.
African rhino numbers are declining at unsustainable rates in core state-run parks which is why more than half the continent's remaining rhinos are now on private land.
Life on Earth has adapted to a bright day always being followed by a darker night. Due to light pollution, the natural dark is nevertheless a diminishing natural resource.
Measurements clearly indicate that whenever UV lamps used for disinfection were switched on, both gas and small particle concentrations increased considerably.
A new AI algorithm developed by researchers at the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence is aimed at visualizing datasets as clearly as possible.
Scientists applied machine vision models and were able to deduce from the context of an image if it pertained to the sale of a live animal. These methods make it possible to flag the posts which may be selling animals illegally.
Puppyhood and adolescence diet may influence the incidence of canine chronic gastrointestinal problems later in life, according to a study carried out at the University of Helsinki.
Scientists at the University of Helsinki offer new insights onto the control over reaction selectivity with visible light in plasmonic catalysis.
A research at the University of Helsinki suggests aquatic plants can be utilised as a tool to enhance the co-existence between aquatic invertebrates and their fish predators in urban ponds.
Finnish researchers have identified a possible new targeted drug for treating acute myeloid leukemia. In the future, the discovery may help patients with certain rare subtypes of the disease.
The endangered Saimaa ringed seal is an Ice Age relict living in the highly labyrinthine Lake Saimaa, Finland.
