In the past 20 years, the Arctic has lost about one-third of its winter sea ice volume, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Washington and the California Institute of Technology.
Humans re-shape the environments where they live, with cities being among the most profoundly transformed environments on Earth.
System developed at the University of Michigan saves time and money in the race to create better batteries for the electric vehicle revolution
In about a fifth of the cases of Parkinson’s disease, look to a small, malfunctioning protein in the lysosome as a risk factor, say University of Michigan researchers.
A joint research group led by Genki Kanda at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) has developed a robotic artificial intelligence (AI) system for autonomously determining the optimal conditions for growing replacement retina layers necessary for vision.
A new study that considered multiple aspects including sexual identity and disabilities confirms a long-held belief: White, heterosexual men without disabilities are privileged in STEM careers.
Finding forming planets is a tough but important job for astronomers: Only three planets have ever been discovered caught in the process of forming, and the most recent of these was found just weeks ago.
Around 13,200 years ago, a roving male mastodon died in a bloody mating-season battle with a rival in what today is northeast Indiana, nearly 100 miles from his home territory,
In the early 1960s, University of Michigan alumnus Marshall Nirenberg and a few other scientists deciphered the genetic code of life, determining the rules by which information in DNA molecules is translated into proteins, the working parts of living cells.
A new study from the University of Michigan describes one of the first entirely new drug delivery microencapsulation approaches in decades.
Passive solar evaporation system could be used to clean wastewater, provide potable water, or sterilize medical tools in off-grid areas.
A new analysis offers guidance on the size of nanoparticles that could be most effective at stopping internal bleeding.
New research suggests that a tapeworm often found in the gut microbiome of Atlantic Salmon, commonly used for aquaculture, serves as host for its own microbial community, potentially rewriting the ways parasitic infections of host animals should be handled.
The material could replace rare metals and lead to more economical production of carbon-neutral fuels.

A new methodology simulates counterfactual, time-varying, and dynamic treatment strategies, allowing doctors to choose the best course of action.
Despite dramatic improvements in air quality over the past 50 years, people of color at every income level in the United States are exposed to higher-than-average levels of air pollution.
A newly published study has found a method to extract reliable insights into host population genetics through a two-step imputation of intestinal and faecal samples.
Scientists at the University of Washington and Emory University report that an antibiotic sprayed on orchard crops to combat bacterial diseases slows the cognition of bumblebees and reduces their foraging efficiency.
