Take a common form of yeast, a 3D printer, and some clever science, and what do you have? A versatile and nutritious food system for tomorrow’s discerning space traveller.
Last month for the first time, the US Preventative Services Task Force recommended screening for anxiety in children and adolescents aged 8 to 18 years.
Less than a year after the James Webb Space Telescope's Christmas Day launch in 2021, scientists have captured images of the most distant galaxies ever seen.
Businesses that offer public declarations of support for the Black community after violent events like the murder of George Floyd and other serious incidents are more attractive to prospective employees and have bigger bottom lines, according to new research from Rice University.
Employees often engage in "mood repair" after a tense morning with a partner, University of Arizona researchers say.
Rice theorists show how tight ‘diet’ could produce single-chirality carbon nanotubes
The deep sea contains more than 90% of the water in our oceans, but only about a third of all fish species. Scientists have long thought the explanation for this was intuitive — shallow ocean waters are warm and full of resources, making them a prime location for new species to evolve and thrive. But a new University of Washington study led by Elizabeth Miller reports that throughout Earth’s ancient history, there were several periods of time when many fish actually favored the cold, dark, barren waters of the deep sea.
Life in the concrete jungle can be rough, particularly for butterflies, but urban green spaces can hold surprising diversity and may become more important than ever in insect pollinator conservation, according to a new study from University of Arizona researchers.
Mechanical engineers at Rice University and Waseda University in Tokyo have dramatically advanced their computational fluid dynamics models of airflow around a moving car and its tires.
TUCSON, Ariz. – While many governments, scientists and concerned citizens around the world have made efforts to conserve plant and animal species and promote biodiversity, some experts say it hasn't been enough.

According to a new study, fossils of a tiny sea creature with a delicately preserved nervous system solve a century-old debate over how the brain evolved in arthropods, the most species-rich group in the animal kingdom.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, some people in medically underserved Latino communities avoided getting vaccinated due to fears of side effects, mistrust of health officials and vaccine manufacturers and discrimination from health care workers, according to a new study from Rice University.
Research on the drug, known as DYR533, was conducted at the the University of Arizona R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy and BIO5 Institute, in partnership with the Biodesign Institute in Phoenix.
Scientists and engineers at Rice University say the same is true for the environment. If a chemical spill in a river goes unnoticed for 20 minutes, it might be too late to remediate.
University of Arizona Health Sciences researchers are exploring a noninvasive, drug-free treatment that offers hope for healing from the severe symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
The diminished power of the immune system in older adults is usually blamed on the aging process. But a new study by Columbia immunologists shows that decades of particulate air pollution also take a toll.
