Bacterial communities in centuries-old lava caves and tubes on Hawaiʻi Island are more diverse than scientists expected, and may help us understand how life might have existed on Mars and early Earth.
Mysteries surrounding the origins of castaway gamma-ray bursts or flashes of intense energy may be unlocked thanks to data collected from some of the most powerful telescopes on Earth including two observatories on Maunakea
A national study looking at the impacts that mandated vaccine policies had on universities and colleges and their surrounding communities found that those policies reduced the overall death rate of the U.S. in fall 2021 by about 5%, roughly 7,300 lives.
Work could lead to heady applications in novel electronics and more.
The millions of people affected by 2020’s record-breaking and deadly fires can attest to the fact that wildfire hazards are increasing across western North America.
The first RNA-guided DNA-cutting enzyme found in eukaryotes, Fanzor could one day be harnessed to edit DNA more precisely than CRISPR/Cas systems.
A WSU research team has created a recyclable carbon-fiber reinforced composite that could eventually replace the non-recyclable version used in everything from modern airplane wings and wind turbines to sporting goods.
MAGE merges the two key tasks of image generation and recognition, typically trained separately, into a single system.
Scientists have identified the presence of a non-tobacco plant in ancient Maya drug containers for the first time.
A short science lesson can help sway public opinion on climate change, research from Washington State University indicates.
Training artificial neural networks with data from real brains can make computer vision more robust.
The disorganized arrangement of the proteins in light-harvesting complexes is the key to their extreme efficiency.
The images shed light on how electrons form superconducting pairs that glide through materials without friction.
A new approach for identifying significant differences in gene use between closely-related species provides insights into human evolution.
New soft-bodied robots that can be controlled by a simple magnetic field are well suited to work in confined spaces.
The reasons behind vaccine hesitancy among Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) in Hawaiʻi at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic are explained in a new University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa study.
A University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researcher is a part of a team that developed a synthetic way to transform nitrogen into a bioavailable form that could allow for the production of ammonia fertilizer at a much lower cost and ultimately lead to greater food production across the globe.
Humpback whales may one day avoid Hawaiian waters due to climate change and rising greenhouse gasses, according the findings of a new paper published in Frontiers in Marine Science by a team of researchers including three University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa graduate students—Hannah von Hammerstein and Renee Setter from the Department of Geography and Environment in the College of Social Sciences, and Martin van Aswegen from the Marine Mammal Research Program in the Institute for Marine Biology.
An innovative scientific instrument developed by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers is expected to be a game changer in the search for life—existing or extinct—on Earth and other planets.
