As the Earth’s climate warms, abnormal heat waves remain an increasingly dire health hazard.
A probiotic bacterium called Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HA-114 prevents neurodegeneration in the C. elegans worm, an animal model used to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
To better understand the evolution of flowers, a research team in biology from Université de Montréal, the Montreal Botanical Garden and McGill University have succeeded in using photogrammetry to quickly and precisely build, in three dimensions, a model of a flower from two-dimensional images.
Nuclear fusion scientists have developed a machine learning model to automatically spot and keep track of blobs of plasma that form inside nuclear reactors, paving the way to a better understanding of how plasma behaves.
Rats practice running through mazes, cats envision future hunts in their heads—scientists are learning more than ever before about animal dreamers.
Vaxess, a Cambridge startup with ties to Harvard, MIT, and Tufts, raised $27 million to test its technology in clinical trials after developing the idea for more than a decade.

Drylands make up nearly half the Earth’s land surface, and the effects of grazing livestock on their ability to support people, plants and animals is a key question as the global climate changes and warms.
A new serological test in which an NAU professor played a pivotal role in developing can not only help humanity prepare for and respond to the next pandemic, but it also can be pivotal in the search for viral triggers of diseases like diabetes and celiac disease.
Is there life in Martian caves?
AUSTIN, Texas — A computer model has been created by researchers at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin that determines the rate at which Greenland’s glacier fronts are melting.
AUSTIN, Texas — Comet strikes on Jupiter’s moon Europa could help transport critical ingredients for life found on the moon’s surface to its hidden ocean of liquid water — even if the impacts don’t punch completely through the moon’s icy shell.
AUSTIN, Texas — Evidence for the earliest known Maya calendar has been found in San Bartolo, Guatemala, by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin.
AUSTIN, Texas — Talking with patients about nutrition can be delicate, and few medical doctors have training in nutritional science. But now, physicians will be able to get assistance from a new artificial intelligence system designed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin.
