Use of a novel electrolyte could allow advanced metal electrodes and higher voltages, boosting capacity and cycle life.
Many people likely lost sleep over COVID‑19. A study of twins led by Washington State University researchers found that stress, anxiety and depression during the first few weeks of the pandemic were associated with less and lower quality sleep.
A new study led by researchers at Washington State University has identified a protein that could be the key to improving treatment outcomes after a heart attack.
No billionaires live among the Tsimane people of Bolivia, although some are a bit better off than others.
Breast cancer screening took a sizeable hit during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggests new research that showed that the number of screening mammograms completed in a large group of women living in Washington State plummeted by nearly half.
Employer COVID‑19 safety measures influenced worker precautions even when they were not on the clock, according to a new study out of Washington State University.
For college students under pressure, a dog may be the best stress fighter around.

New research led by scientists at Washington State University has found that a protein known as GBP5 appears to play a key role in suppressing inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, a potentially debilitating disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own joint tissues.
COVID-19 has created new problems for pregnant women in the United States, a group that already faced the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world even before the pandemic.
People who talk with their doctors are more likely to get vaccinated during a pandemic, according to a study of evidence collected during the “swine flu,” the last pandemic to hit the U.S. before COVID-19.

A record-setting rainstorm over Kauaʻi in April 2018 resulted in severe flash flooding and estimated damage of nearly $180 million
Bacteria alter their swimming patterns when they get into tight spaces—hurrying to escape from confinement, according to a published study by researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
A new study led by University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center researchers found that Hawaiʻi patients with cancer who were enrolled in therapeutic clinical trials had significantly more positive care coordination experiences.
Vibrio vulnificus, a “flesh-eating” bacterium that lives naturally in the water of the Ala Wai Canal in Waikīkī is likely to increase substantially in coming decades, but infections are rare.
An international team of researchers, including several from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, has quantified five critical ecological processes on more than 500 coral reefs worldwide to understand how these processes relate to each other, what may distinguish the most functional reefs, and what that means for our management of reef functioning. They said this research drastically changes the way we need to approach coral reef restoration.
Antarctic sea-ice has expanded over the period of continuous satellite monitoring, which seemingly contradicts ongoing global warming resulting from increasing concentrations of greenhouse gasses.
A new species of wasp was discovered on the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa campus. Mymarommatoidea—a group of miniscule but very beautiful wasps, around 0.5 mm in length—had been emerging from branches of a banyan tree on campus. Living individuals in their natural environment have never been recorded in scientific literature.
