The first RNA-guided DNA-cutting enzyme found in eukaryotes, Fanzor could one day be harnessed to edit DNA more precisely than CRISPR/Cas systems.
A WSU research team has created a recyclable carbon-fiber reinforced composite that could eventually replace the non-recyclable version used in everything from modern airplane wings and wind turbines to sporting goods.
MAGE merges the two key tasks of image generation and recognition, typically trained separately, into a single system.
Scientists have identified the presence of a non-tobacco plant in ancient Maya drug containers for the first time.
A short science lesson can help sway public opinion on climate change, research from Washington State University indicates.
Training artificial neural networks with data from real brains can make computer vision more robust.
The disorganized arrangement of the proteins in light-harvesting complexes is the key to their extreme efficiency.
The images shed light on how electrons form superconducting pairs that glide through materials without friction.
A new approach for identifying significant differences in gene use between closely-related species provides insights into human evolution.
New soft-bodied robots that can be controlled by a simple magnetic field are well suited to work in confined spaces.
A University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researcher is a part of a team that developed a synthetic way to transform nitrogen into a bioavailable form that could allow for the production of ammonia fertilizer at a much lower cost and ultimately lead to greater food production across the globe.
An innovative scientific instrument developed by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers is expected to be a game changer in the search for life—existing or extinct—on Earth and other planets.
How the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic created a perfect storm in which private laboratories can earn huge profits from PCR testing while potentially impacting health care premium costs, is described in a June 9 Journal of General Internal Medicine paper published by a team of researchers, including three economists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Social Sciences.
“Regenerative” tourism is when visitors travel with a mindset to leave a destination better than it was before they arrived, and experiences go beyond a traditional vacation
How do cooks determine if their pan of oil is ready for deep frying? One time-honored technique involves dipping a wooden spoon or chopstick into the oil, and if it starts steadily bubbling, the oil is ready.

UC San Diego scientists find stem cells’ unique way of discarding misfolded proteins could be the key to maintaining long-term health and preventing disease
Scripps Oceanography scientists and collaborators provide first-of-its-kind assessment of hypoxia, or low oxygen levels, across 32 coral reef sites around the world
Scripps Whale Acoustics Lab teams up with shipping giant Maersk to identify vessel designs that reduce radiated noise
In both mouse and human motor neuron studies, a DNA designer drug restored levels of a protein necessary to keep motor neurons functioning, returning activity impaired in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; findings could lead to clinical trials.
