Dr. Farid Saleh, lead author from the University of Lausanne and Yunnan University, along with an international research team, recently discovered evidence of giant arthropods dominating the seas 470 million years ago at the Taichoute fossil site in Morocco. These remarkable findings shed light on the ancient ecosystems of the now-deserted Taichoute region, challenging previously described Fezouata Shale sites located 80km away.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed an innovative inhalable powder that enhances the body's natural defense mechanisms against viral invasion. The powder, known as Spherical Hydrogel Inhalation for Enhanced Lung Defense (SHIELD), reinforces the mucosal layer of the lungs and airways, reducing infection rates.
A new report by the Global Carbon Project science team revealed in 2022 that global carbon emissions in 2022 reached record levels, posing a severe threat to efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
On February 2023, researchers from the University of Bristol, led by Professor Tim Caro and Dr. Martin How, uncovered the reason behind the distinctive thin stripes and sharp outlines found on zebra fur. Published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, the study reveals that these specific characteristics effectively deter horsefly attacks by eliminating the attractiveness of large monochrome dark patches to the insects.
A new study publish earlier this year and conducted by researchers at North Carolina State University and the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has revealed a groundbreaking technique that can improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries, according to a news release. The research opens up possibilities for enhancing the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries, which have significant implications for portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage.
Many people likely lost sleep over COVID‑19. A study of twins led by Washington State University researchers found that stress, anxiety and depression during the first few weeks of the pandemic were associated with less and lower quality sleep.
A new study led by researchers at Washington State University has identified a protein that could be the key to improving treatment outcomes after a heart attack.
