While many changes happened during the pandemic, one instance of change involving fishing around Hawaiʻi Island showed the importance of the activity for residents to researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, thanks to photos on social media.
A potential link between intestinal bacteria and the disproportionately higher rates of certain chronic disease and mental health risks among Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) has been discovered by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Thanks to “jumping” genes, the genomes of social species have become larger than those of their nonsocial relatives.
Multiple large heatwaves the size of Mongolia occurred at the same time nearly every day during the warm seasons of the 2010s across the Northern Hemisphere, according to a study led by Washington State University researchers.
In recent years, polar bears in the Beaufort Sea have had to travel far outside of their traditional arctic hunting grounds which has contributed to an almost 30% decrease in their population.
Thanks to “jumping” genes, the genomes of social species have become larger than those of their nonsocial relatives.
A University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo professor of geography is part of an international research team that collected plant-trait data from the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), to compare against a global data set of plant form and function.
Two new viruses are infecting hibiscus plants in Hawaiʻi and could pose a threat to the state flower, according to researchers in the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. Their findings were published in Viruses
Irreversible loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, and a corresponding rapid acceleration of sea-level rise, may be imminent if global temperature change cannot be stabilized below 1.8°C, compared to preindustrial levels.
Nearly 100% of Hawaiʻi residents aged 18—35 surveyed, utilized some form of digital or social media to find information about COVID-19 or related topics, according to research by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health.
Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) women diagnosed with breast cancer have higher rates of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC), the most aggressive form of breast cancer compared to other racial/ethnic populations in Hawaiʻi
There may be a more efficient future for water repellent materials and methods thanks to new research from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Engineering
Searching through existing data spanning 9 billion years, a team of researchers led by scientists at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has uncovered the first evidence of “cosmological coupling”—a newly predicted phenomenon in Einstein’s theory of gravity, possible only when black holes are placed inside an evolving universe.
Ultrathin electronics can now be laminated onto curved surfaces using heat-shrinkable polymers
A University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center research team led by Michele Carbone and Haining Yang may have discovered a key to increasing the survival rate of Mesothelioma, one of the deadliest cancers, that could also ultimately be used to treat other types of cancer.
Exploring how whales can influence the amount of carbon in our air and waters and potentially contribute to the overall reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide is the focus of new research.
A novel virus, potentially fatal to whales and dolphins, has been discovered by researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi Health and Stranding Lab.
Molecular dynamic simulations show how a protein pump transports calcium to help control muscle contractions
Four political science PhD students surveyed residents from six Latin American countries about their willingness to get a COVID vaccine. What they learned could help reduce vaccine hesitancy here in the United States and around the world.
Efforts to sequence the genomes of the world’s animals tend to focus on those that most resemble humans with the work conducted almost entirely in the Global North, according to an analysis led by Washington State University.
