The most genetically isolated population of polar bears on the planet, they have limited access to sea ice and use ice from Greenland’s glaciers to survive
Study finds all brown bears today have some polar bear ancestry due to genetic admixture that occurred during a warm interglacial period more than 100,000 years ago
Researchers used miniature video cameras to study how free-ranging elephant seals use their whiskers to track down prey in the darkness of the deep ocean
This machine-learning system can simulate how a listener would hear a sound from any point in a room.
Researchers have identified the genes involved in biosynthesis of guanitoxin, a potent neurotoxin produced by some freshwater harmful algal blooms
A new survey summarizes scientific recommendations for conservationists and land managers tasked with managing biodiversity in a changing climate
A new approach sheds light on the behavior of turbulent structures that can affect the energy generated during fusion reactions, with implications for reactor design.
In June 2020, the University of Copenhagen's Global Health Section, Statens Serum Institut and Folkehøjskolernes Forening collaborated on a study that investigated how staff and students reacted when folk high schools reopened under new COVID-19 guidelines.
In recent years, as the impacts of climate change have become more pronounced, tree-planting has frequently been touted as a “natural climate solution” to capture and store planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions while also conserving biodiversity and improving quality of life for people.
The forecasts could help fishing fleets, ocean managers, and coastal communities anticipate the effects of marine heatwaves
Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas made when fossil fuels burn incompletely. It’s also a silent killer.
Researchers have developed a technique that could help fine-tune the production of monoclonal antibodies and other useful proteins.
By analyzing enzyme activity at the organism, tissue, and cellular scales, new sensors could provide new tools to clinicians and cancer researchers.
Sperm counts have halved in the last 50 years – one possible explanation could be because the sex chromosomes are fighting each other, new Danish research suggests.
A new study suggests mobile data collected while traveling over bridges could help evaluate their integrity.
Pacemakers and other medical devices, as well as long-distance drones and remote sensors, could require fewer battery replacements with new approach.
Parts of the human genome now available to study for the first time are important for understanding genetic diseases, human diversity, and evolution
A new study assesses the planetary context in which the detection of methane in an exoplanet’s atmosphere could be considered a compelling sign of life
A new study led by UC Santa Cruz researchers suggests that pumas in the Santa Cruz Mountains don’t make accurate assessments of where they are most likely to be killed by humans, especially when it comes to the threat of being killed in retaliation for loss of livestock.
Branchlike metallic filaments can sap the power of solid-state lithium batteries. A new study explains how they form and how to divert them.
