In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the University of Copenhagen apply a new technique allowing them to disentangle 500 million-years-old rocks millimeter-by-millimeter, resolving the deposition of these rocks at the scale of millennia and thus setting completely new standards for determining actual time in the ancient rock record.
SMART researchers find explanation for why some patients might experience diarrhea after taking amoxicillin-clavulanate.
Everyone knows eating fruits and vegetables is good for your health. But these days, stores offer a dizzying array of options: organic, conventional, CSAs, local agriculture. Which ones are best for your health?
A new technique boosts models’ ability to reduce bias, even if the dataset used to train the model is unbalanced.
Climate change causes species to track the changing climate and affects their interactions in biological communities. A new study using large-scale data from plant-hummingbird networks helps to improve our understanding of how biological communities will react to future climate conditions.
Researchers find similarities between how some computer-vision systems process images and how humans see out of the corners of our eyes.
Using powerful tools and techniques developed in the field of structural biology, researchers at the University of Washington and Scripps Research have discovered new details about the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV.
European green crabs feast on shellfish, destroy marsh habitats by burrowing in the mud and obliterate valuable seagrass beds.
An international research team, including scientists from the University of Washington, has established a new upper limit on the mass of the neutrino, the lightest known subatomic particle.
Blood clots form naturally as a way to stop bleeding when someone is injured. But blood clots in patients with medical issues, such as mechanical heart valves or other heart conditions, can lead to a stroke or heart attack.
The release of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas responsible for almost a quarter of global warming, is being studied around the world, from Arctic wetlands to livestock feedlots.
The Middle Ordovician – 470 million years ago – witnessed the greatest rise in marine biodiversity in all of Earth history. Climate change played a major role in this event as the onset of colder temperatures coincided with the start of the biotic radiations. A new study lead by researchers from University of Copenhagen now provides further evidence for this ancient ice age, revealing new insights about distinct phases of ice-sheet growth nearly half a billion years ago.
The computer-vision technique behind these maps could help avoid contrail production, reducing aviation’s climate impact.
A method for stabilizing the interfaces in solid-state lithium-ion batteries opens new possibilities.
A new approach enables architects to use discarded tree forks as load-bearing joints in their structures.
A team led by scientists at the University of Washington and special agents with the U.S.
Professor and Center Director Tom Gilbert is exploring the possibilities of bringing back the extinct Christmas Island rat through genomic sequencing in a new study published in Current Biology. However, the hologenomic perspective brings nuance to the core of de-extinction.
MIT chemical engineers create affordable, sustainable soap-based system to eliminate emerging micropollutants in water.
Farmers struggling to adapt to rising temperatures in tropical regions can unleash the benefits of natural cooling, alongside a host of other wins, simply by dotting more trees across their pasturelands.
Chemical engineers use neural networks to discover the properties of metal-organic frameworks, for catalysis and other applications.
