New research suggests the influx of Ukrainian refugees across Europe will improve long-term gross domestic product (GDP) for European countries that invest in infrastructure and other capital improvements.
A newly discovered plant-eating dinosaur may have been a species’ “last gasp” during a period when Earth’s warming climate forced massive changes to global dinosaur populations.
When given cash with no strings attached, low- and middle-income parents increased their spending on their children, according to Washington State University research.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have identified significant differences in the gut microbiome of female southern white rhinos who are reproducing successfully in captivity,
Vision transformers (ViTs) are powerful artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that can identify or categorize objects in images – however, there are significant challenges related to both computing power requirements and decision-making transparency.
When young adults are more interested in socializing and casually dating, they tend to drink more alcohol, according to new research led by a Washington State University professor.
A new study finds a chemical formed when we digest a widely used sweetener is “genotoxic,” meaning it breaks up DNA.
In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers demonstrated that it’s possible to make carbon dioxide capture filters using 3D printing.
The color changes reflect significant shifts in essential marine ecosystems.
In two new studies, North Carolina State University researchers designed and tested a series of textile fibers that can change shape and generate force like a muscle.
CLIMATE The first experiments with glacial rock flour from Greenland show that it can capture significant amounts of CO2 and provide a wider array of nutrients than commercial organic fertilizers, resulting in improved crop growth. In the long term, the glacial rock flour can be of great importance in stopping climate change. The researcher behind the studies calls it a "promising, scalable solution."
North Carolina State University researchers have developed a computational model that allows the military to make more efficient use of helicopters,
A new technology called RIBOmap can give researchers valuable insight into how protein production in animal and human tissue is altered in disease.
In a study tracking climate-induced changes in the distribution of animals and their effects on ecosystem functions,
A new study shows that truncated versions of the Tau protein are more likely to form the sticky filaments seen in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease.
A new study from North Carolina State University finds carrying pollen is a workout that significantly increases the body temperature of bumble bees.
Distinctive EEG patterns indicate when a patient’s state of unconsciousness under general anesthesia is more profound than necessary.
LIFE STYLE A drug that was originally developed to treat diabetes and severe overweight might also help people with nicotine dependence, concludes new research from the University of Copenhagen.
Whitehead Institute researchers find many transcription factors bind RNA, which fine-tunes their regulation of gene expression, suggesting new therapeutic opportunities.
A new approach opens the door to a greater understanding of protein-microbe interactions.
