The discovery of two new and unusual species of diatoms (phytoplankton) in Hawaiian waters was announced by a team of University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers in the Department of Oceanography’s Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE), along with collaborators at the University of California Santa Cruz, and California State University San Marcos.
Uptake and continued use of the NHS Covid-19 app last year depended on people’s trust in the UK Government, their concern about privacy, and crucially whether other people in their social networks endorse it, a new study shows.
UCLA-led team of astronomers finds no young binary stars near Milky Way’s black hole
Identifying traits that help wildlife adapt to urban living can help cities bolster biodiversity through better urban planning
New research by YSE Professor Kenneth Gillingham found that the recent increase in electric vehicle adoption is due largely to technological improvements such as increased battery range and faster charging.
A team of researchers at the University of Michigan has developed an ultrathin ferroelectric semiconductor, measuring just 5 nanometers thick, with the potential to revolutionize computing and power next-generation technologies.
Less than 15% of the 92 million tons of clothing and other textiles discarded annually are recycled—in part because they are so difficult to sort. Woven-in labels made with inexpensive photonic fibers, developed by a University of Michigan-led team, could change that.
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a free, user-friendly tool that makes use of multiple computational models to help solid waste systems achieve their environmental goals in the most cost-efficient way possible.
Engineering researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated a new type of flexible, robotic grippers that are able to lift delicate egg yolks without breaking them, and that are precise enough to lift a human hair.
A team of communication experts calls for researchers and organizations to take a global view when assessing how to use social media for crisis communication efforts, particularly in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
New research from North Carolina State University offers insight into why Facebook’s targeted advertising can sometimes be more like a wild pitch.
Researchers have developed a new membrane technology that allows for more efficient removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from mixed gases, such as emissions from power plants.
Researchers have developed a technique that leverages hardware and software to improve file system security for next-generation memory technologies called non-volatile memories (NVMs).
A new drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots has been developed by a University of Bristol team, using a new method of electromechanical zipping that does away with the need for conventional motors and gears.
Researchers at the University of Bristol have reportedly discovered an alloy that increases strength at more than -250 degrees Celsius, which would make it the toughest material known to man.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Harvard University have developed a method to dramatically extend the lifetime of organic aqueous flow batteries, improving the commercial viability of a technology that has the potential to safely and cheaply store energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar.
A NASA study has pioneered the use of virtual reality (VR) and scents to aid in the behavioral changes that can occur during long space missions, such as the moon or Mars.
A team of researchers from the UK and Japan has found that the tiny defects which limit the efficiency of perovskites – cheaper alternative materials for solar cells – are also responsible for structural changes in the material that lead to degradation.
As the Earth’s climate continues to change, natural resource managers are faced with the challenge of forecasting how populations will respond to these changes.
A research team from the University of Houston, in collaboration with researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, has developed a cutting-edge microscope that offers a deep understanding of the functioning of batteries by unveiling their inner workings.
