With A Little Twist, Researchers Delve Into A Quantum Physics Puzzle

The best known semiconductor—silicon—famously blurs the line between metal and insulator. Sometimes it conducts electricity, like copper, and other times it stops electrical currents, like a block of wood.

Tiny Wireless Device Sheds Light On Combating Obesity

Texas A&M researchers have designed a device that stimulates the endings of the vagus nerve, which is responsible for the regulation of food intake.

We’re Paying For Emissions We’ve Already Released

Global warming in excess of 2 degrees Celsius has already been set into motion by past emissions, says a team of researchers including a Texas A&M professor.

Study: Black Americans, Women, Conservatives More Hesitant To Trust COVID-19 Vaccine

Thirty-one percent of respondents to a Texas A&M-led survey said they don’t intend to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Lung Maintains Long-Term Memory of COVID Infection

After infection with SARS-CoV-2, where does the immune system store the memory to provide long-term protection against reinfection?

The COVID-19 Pandemic Has Intensified Discrimination Against East Asians, South Asians, and Hispanics in the U.S., Says New Study

For close to two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc across the United States where we have witnessed untold deaths, experienced severe illness, and withstood economic uncertainties.

Generative AI Imagines New Protein Structures

MIT researchers develop "FrameDiff," a computational tool that uses generative AI to craft new protein structures, with the aim of accelerating drug development and improving gene therapy.

Impact Of Sewage Pollution On Reefs Explored By UH Researchers

Pollution from on-site sewage disposal systems and injection wells is impacting coral reefs worldwide. Through onsite testing and reef surveys at Puakō, Hawaiʻi Island, researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, UH Mānoa and other organizations found sewage pollution was moderate on the offshore reef from seeps, and that water motion mixed and diluted the pollutant.

Debunking Alien Theories, New Study Tries To Explain UH-Discovered ʻOumuamua

Mysteries have swirled around the origin of interstellar object ʻOumuamua since astronomers on Haleakalā first discovered it in 2017 with the University of Hawaiʻi Pan-STARRS1 (Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System) telescope

A New Way To Look At Data Privacy

Researchers create a privacy technique that protects sensitive data while maintaining a machine-learning model’s performance.

Black Mosses Reveal Climate Change Effects On Antarctic Glaciers

As glaciers in Antarctica have melted, previously ice-entombed black mosses have been exposed. A team led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers conducted extensive analyses on these mosses discovered in the northern Antarctic Peninsula, which revealed sensitive glacier behavioral responses to the climate over the past 1,500 years.

Russia-Ukraine War Has Global Impacts On Conservation Research

The war in Ukraine and the international isolation of Russia has harmed biodiversity conservation according to a new study, published in Frontiers in Conservation Science.
