Obesity is one of the most serious public health issues of the 21st century. More than 600 million adults and 100 million children in 200 countries are considered obese.
A team of researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Northwestern University has developed a skin-mounted sticker for diagnosing cystic fibrosis, one of the most common life-shortening genetic disorders.
UH Researcher Issues a Call for New Methods to Combat Stress and Social Isolation
UC Riverside-led study finds extreme tidal mass loss in dwarf galaxies formed in a simulation
Texas A&M research lays the groundwork toward building electrical stimulation implants.
As climate change brings greater threats to coastal ecosystems, new research can help planners leverage the wave-damping benefits of marsh plants.
Individuals who put strain on the power grid during peak times would pay more than those who relieve stress through the use of solar power or lower consumption.
First-of-its-kind Training Available on Coursera to Equip the Public with Foundational, Real-world Understanding of Value-based Care
A new control system, demonstrated using MIT’s robotic mini cheetah, enables four-legged robots to jump across uneven terrain in real-time.
Some four months ago, a devastating flood ravaged the Chamoli district in the Indian Himalayas, killing over 200 people. The flood was caused by a massive landslide, which also involved a glacier. Researchers at the University of Zurich, the WSL and ETH Zurich have now analyzed the causes, scope and impact of the disaster as part of an international collaboration.
The method could be a route to quicker, less invasive cancer diagnoses.
Indigenous peoples pass on their knowledge of medicinal plants orally. If their languages go extinct, valuable medical knowledge will be lost. A study by the University of Zurich estimates that 75 percent of the world’s medicinal plant applications are only known in one language.
Adding coffee pulp to forest floors dramatically restored deteriorating tropical forests in Costa Rica. That’s according to new research from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Astronomers at the W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea are part of a team that came across a very rare find nestled billions of light years away that could help to quantify the universe.
Researchers have created 3D molecular maps of bacteria, viruses and biochemicals across coral colonies along with their interacting organisms such as algae and other competing corals.
Children are particularly vulnerable to the negative health effects of sugary drinks, yet prior to a recent law aimed at improving healthy options for Hawaiʻi’s keiki, it was rare to find healthy beverages as a “default” option with kids’ meals in Hawaiʻi restaurants.
Drone technology by the University of Hawaiʻi Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP) was used to document rapid weight loss in a group of distressed pygmy killer whales off Maui in 2019.
The first imaging of substantial freshwater plumes west of Hawaiʻi Island may help water planners to optimize sustainable yields and aquifer storage calculations.
When people think of sea-level rise, they usually think of coastal erosion. However, recent computer modeling studies indicate that coastal wastewater infrastructure, which includes sewer lines and cesspools, is likely to flood with groundwater as sea-level rises.
As global warming threatens to decrease crop yields, a newly discovered gene may help plants resist heat stress, strengthening our agricultural response.
