Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a computational model that can be used to determine the optimal places for locating electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities, as well as how powerful the charging stations can be without placing an undue burden on the local power grid.
Maverick was first used as a baby name after a television show called “Maverick” aired in the 1950s, but its popularity rose meteorically in 1986 with the release of the movie “Top Gun.” Today, it is even used for baby girls.
A medium-sized sauropod dinosaur inhabited the tropical lowland forested area of the Serranía del Perijá in northern Colombia approximately 175 million years ago, according to a new study by an international team of researchers published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
Prehistoric people in Europe were consuming milk thousands of years before humans evolved the genetic trait allowing us to digest the milk sugar lactose as adults, finds a new study.
Ever notice when someone’s singing out of key? Like when you’re in a karaoke bar and your best friend belts out her favorite Adele track but woefully misses the mark?
Prehistoric people in Europe were consuming milk thousands of years before humans evolved the genetic trait allowing us to digest the milk sugar lactose as adults.
If autonomous vehicles are ever going to achieve widespread adoption, we need to know they are capable of navigating complex traffic situations, such as merging into heavy traffic when lanes disappear on a highway.
A Policy Forum article published today in Science calls for a new approach to regulating genetically engineered (GE) crops, arguing that current approaches for triggering safety testing vary dramatically among countries and generally lack scientific merit –
A new study led by a North Carolina State University researcher reveals lessons about how award-winning instructors design and deliver online “bichronous” courses, which blend elements of real-time synchronous instruction, and self-paced, or asynchronous, activities.
The skulls of tetrapods had fewer bones than extinct and living fish, limiting their evolution for millions of years, according to a latest study.
Researchers at the University of Michigan reportedly have found the oldest well-preserved vertebrate brain to date, which was discovered in a fossilized fish skull from a specimen in England more than a century ago.
Archaeologists from the University of Bristol have suggested that mysterious stone spheres found at various ancient settlements across the Aegean and Mediterranean could be playing pieces from one of the earliest ever board games.
Researchers discover simultaneous evolutionary history of gut microbes with their human hosts over hundreds of thousands of years
Red squirrels that gamble with their reproduction strategy outperform their counterparts in terms of Darwinian fitness, even if it costs them in the short term, according to a recent study by researchers at the University of Michigan.
The structure of family groups gives animals an incentive to help or harm their social group as they age, new research shows.
Bones that are separate in small jerboas are fully fused in large ones, but the bone structures that are best at dissipating the stresses of jumping are only partially fused
A new study sheds light on unique processes that bestow naked mole-rats with what seems like eternal fertility, findings that could eventually point to new therapies for people.
For the first time, researchers have been able capture images providing unprecedented details of how particles behave in a liquid suspension when the phenomenon known as shear thickening takes place.
An often overlooked feature could give scientists new insight into the lives of ancient primate species.
While the chemical steps for the biosynthesis of nepetalactone appear to be identical in the plants and insects, they use different enzymes to catalyze them.
