Any attempts to build peace in Syria must address the factors which led to the country being a failed state before civil war began, research says.
Most people have heard the predictions that cities on the American coasts are in danger of being swallowed by the sea. A new finding by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) could be key to helping engineers manage river restoration and coastal erosion.
An international group of scientists has tested the nearly neutral theory of evolution, proposed in 1973 by Japanese geneticist Tomoko Ohta. He predicted that natural selection will have a different evolutionary effect on species depending on the organism's population size.
Newly discovered genetic commonalities and differences among the most prevalent types of canine soft tissue sarcomas, a common and potentially deadly tumor, could pave the way for more accurate diagnosis and better treatments in the future.
A natural habitat's ability to withstand and recover from damage can be empirically monitored from space – and the method may prove important during upcoming decades of climate and land-use change.
Experiencing loneliness appears to lead to a higher risk of future unemployment, according to new research.
A disease in elk that causes deformed hooves and eventually leads to lameness and death is also associated with abnormal, asymmetrical antlers, a Washington State University-led study of hunter reports has found.
New research has discovered that some patients with motor neuron disease (MND) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) carry the same rare genetic defects that cause other neurodegenerative diseases.
Research paper in Nature Communications Earth and Environment shows progress in Australia towards United Nations goals, making rivers more able to recover from flood, drought and other impacts.
Wildlife watchers generally welcome species that have arrived in the UK due to climate change, new research suggests.
A microwave technology invented at Macquarie University will improve the manufacture of solar cells and make them easier to recycle.
Sounds made by humpback whales – including a previously unknown call – have given researchers a glimpse of their lives in the high seas.
Protected areas such as national parks have a "mixed impact" on wildlife, according to the largest ever global study of their effects.
By examining connections between information-seeking, learning and motivation, new study offers pointers for public-education campaigns and classrooms.
A complex array of smoking behaviours and identities among young adults explains why public health initiatives around smoking prevention and cessation are not working for this age group, according to latest research led by Dr Ria Poole at the University of Exeter.
Children differ dramatically from adults in their moral views on animals, new research shows.
Two Macquarie University researchers have been named as 2022 New South Wales Young Tall Poppies by the Australian Institute of Policy and Science (AIPS) for their ground-breaking research and contributions to their respective scientific fields.
