Study finds Earth’s frozen surfaces became less susceptible to thawing, potentially locking in more carbon than expected.
SPINAL CORD Damage to the spinal cord can be extremely disabling. Now research from the University of Copenhagen shows that the cells of the spinal cord do not behave as expected – a discovery that may prove important in connection with future treatment.
Washington State University researchers have developed a way to assess soil health by measuring the electric current produced by its tiniest microbes.
BRAIN Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have discovered that fluid does not necessarily enter the brain the way one thought. According to one of the researchers behind the study, the result may lead to fewer major brain operations.
How people interpret musical notes depends on the types of music they have listened to, researchers find.
The dining time of different insects impacts a plant’s defenses and nutritional quality—a complexity uncovered in new research with implications for pest management strategies.
When it comes to craft beer, the flavor doesn’t have to be all in the hops.
WEIGHT In Denmark, more and more people suffer from overweight and obesity. A new study suggests that children with parents with obesity begin to develop overweight and obesity at earlier ages than children with parents with normal-weight. This may result in an increase in serious diseases.
SuperUROP scholars apply deep learning to improve accuracy of climate models, profitably match computers in the cloud with customers, and more.
A tiny bee imposter, the syrphid fly, may be a big help to some gardens and farms, new research from Washington State University shows.

A new agricultural innovation from Washington State University may solve an ancient predicament: how to protect crop plants from cold damage at bud break.
AIR QUALITY Contrary to what one might expect, air quality did not improve during mild covid-19 lockdowns in all cities. In fact, the emission of harmful gasses from transport has in some places increased, even during stringent covid-19 lockdowns, research from the University of Copenhagen shows.
It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the word
How do birds avoid collision when flying in dense foliage and other cramped environments with many obstacles? And what does flying in such complex environments entail for the birds?
It was previously thought that damage to the neural pathways was the sole cause of the motor problems that are typical after a brain injury or stroke.
In a new study, researchers at Lund University and Uppsala University have seen a clear connection between how long a person sleeps and a number of biomarkers linked to cardiometabolic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Using a supercomputer simulation, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has succeeded in following the development of a galaxy over a span of 13.8 billion years.
Newborn babies are already being screened for mutations and genetic tests help families with hereditary breast cancer.
For the first time, researchers have been able to prove that city lights limit the ability of nocturnal animals to navigate by natural light in the night sky.
