The red streaks crisscrossing the surface of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, are striking. Scientists suspect it is a frozen mixture of water and salts, but its chemical signature is mysterious because it matches no known substance on Earth.
Empathy is critical to having supportive conversations about mental health. But this skill can be tricky to learn, especially in the moment when a person is sharing something hard.
In the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, scientists have been sounding the alarm about the plight of southern resident orcas. Annual counts show that population numbers, already precarious, have fallen back to mid-1970s levels. Most pregnancies end in miscarriage or death of the newborn. They may not be catching enough food.
Research on the impacts of climate change often considers its effects on people separately from impacts on ecosystems. But a new study is showing just how intertwined we are with our environment by linking our warming world to a global rise in conflicts between humans and wildlife.
University of Michigan researchers have discovered a way to chemically recycle polyvinyl chloride (PVC) into usable material, according to a study published in the journal Nature Chemistry, a university news release said.
University of Michigan researchers have developed a new welding process that could revolutionize the way vehicles are made, the school said in a news release.
Researchers at the University of Michigan and Arts et Métiers ParisTech have been able to figure out a 125-year-old medical mystery that could help treat patients with fluid build up in their lungs.
Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a novel artificial intelligence-based approach for identifying high-affinity antibody drugs, a news release said.
Efforts to promote the health of wild bees and managed honeybee colonies should take into account specific habitat needs, such as the density of wildflowers, according to a recent study from the University of Michigan and the University of Washington.
A new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change has revealed that old-growth trees are more drought-tolerant than younger trees and can withstand future climate extremes more efficiently, the University of Michigan said in a news release.
Graphical processing units, or GPUs, are the workhorses behind some of the biggest topics in computer science today, powering the innovations behind artificial intelligence and machine learning.

To understand how driverless vehicles can navigate the complexities of the road, researchers often use game theory — mathematical models representing the way rational agents behave strategically to meet their goals.
Mosaic images from the COSMOS-Web program offer a treasure trove of early galaxies
Research on the feeding behavior of Antarctic minke whales found that a smaller whale could not capture enough food to survive using the lunge-feeding strategy of baleen whales
Elephant seal study reveals a threshold at which a small decrease in the amount of prey females can find during foraging migrations could lead to a sudden drop in reproductive success
Language generators such as ChatGPT are gaining attention for their ability to reshape how we use search engines and change the way we interact with artificial intelligence.
Physicists found that speeding electrons trapped in circular loops in graphene quantum dots are highly sensitive to external magnetic fields
Plant diseases limit the output of agricultural workers and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in global crop production loss each year.
Study suggests changes in hatchery practices could help increase population stability for Sacramento River fall-run Chinook salmon, the backbone of California’s salmon fishery
