When macadamia nut oil is processed, what’s left is a byproduct called macadamia nut cake (MNC). Until recently, MNC was considered a waste product and therefore, went straight to the landfill.
Different species of snails in Hawaiʻi host variable amounts of infectious rat lungworm, the nematode (roundworm) known scientifically as Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which causes rat lungworm disease
The unprecedented cost of the 2018 Kiīlauea eruption in Hawaiʻi reflects the intersection of distinct physical and social phenomena: infrequent, highly destructive eruptions and atypically high population growth, according to a new study published in Nature Communications and led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers
Marine protected areas (MPAs) around Oʻahu do not adequately protect populations of herbivorous reef fishes that eat algae on coral reefs.
In a new study funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Small Business Innovation Research program, researchers in the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, IntelinAir, Inc. and Columbia University are investigating whether remote sensing and computer vision can help pineapple growers carry out regular inspection of the field and automated counting of flower intensity.
Global greenhouse gas emissions over the last century have made southern China a hotspot for bat-borne coronaviruses, by driving growth of forest habitat favored by bats
Coral reefs are facing threats that are driving their decline, including the planet’s warming waters.
Turtles worldwide face a grim future and may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of habitat destruction and climate change.
Just as beneficial microbes in the human gut can be affected by antibiotics, diet interventions and other disturbances, the microbiomes of other animals can also be upset.
For many Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders with chronic health conditions, health interventions should include their family members or close friends, according to University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa public health research.
Texas A&M researchers are determining whether robots can be programmed to take over in manufacturing settings when human workers become fatigued.
A new method forces a machine learning model to focus on more data when learning a task, which leads to more reliable predictions.
More effectively measuring tissue stiffness could help treat cancer, sports injuries and more
Ultrastable and made of inexpensive, nontoxic elements, chalcogenide perovskites could find applications in solar cells, lighting, and more.
Researchers from Texas A&M and the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences discovered that sea levels are rising at rates that are close to a tipping point for widespread marsh drowning.

Reducing the complexity of a powerful machine-learning model may help level the playing field for automatic speech-recognition around the world.
A screening method developed by MIT researchers targets hydrogen peroxide in the search for new cancer therapeutics.
One-third of children and adolescents experienced mental health problems during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Switzerland. Parents and young adults also perceived considerable stress, yet the perceived stresses differed from those of children and adolescents, the first Switzerland-wide representative study by the University of Zurich and La Source School of Nursing Lausanne has shown.
