People dreaming of travel post-COVID-19 now have some scientific data to support their wanderlust.
MIT neuroscientists have identified a brain circuit that stops mice from mating with others that appear to be sick.
Findings show how the trace metal is chemically altered in the anoxic, modern ocean and provide the basis for investigating paleorecords of atmosphere composition shifts.
The bacteria that cause brucellosis need to steal food from their hosts’ bodies to survive, and Washington State University researchers may have identified an accomplice: a protein in the host cell.
CRISPR CRISPR has great potential within disease control due to its ability to modify our DNA. New research can prevent situations where CRISPR edits the wrong genes.
A team of researchers have spent years taming mysterious marine microbes from the open ocean to grow in a lab, to investigate their feeding habits.
The discovery of two new and unusual species of diatoms (phytoplankton) in Hawaiian waters was announced by a team of University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers in the Department of Oceanography’s Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE), along with collaborators at the University of California Santa Cruz, and California State University San Marcos.
An asteroid bigger than the Mānoa campus at the University of Hawaiʻi, discovered by a UH Institute for Astronomy (IfA) telescope atop Haleakalā, Maui, is only the second-known object of its kind ever found.
The coexistence of diverse microbes in the open ocean is made possible by staggering the timing of nutrient uptake, according to a study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution by a group of researchers from 13 institutions, including the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
One in three hospitalized youth in Hawaiʻi had obesity, underscoring the need for greater attention to obesity in the inpatient setting and targeted interventions to reduce obesity among younger hospitalized patients.
A deadly parasite in cattle may initially infect animals with multiple strains of the disease Bovine Anaplasmosis at the same time, according to a study led by Washington State University researchers.
Certain ultralight bosons would be expected to put the brakes on black holes, but new results show no such slowdown.
New, reversible CRISPR method can control gene expression while leaving underlying DNA sequence unchanged.
Everything in our universe moves, but the timescales needed to see motion are often vastly greater than human lifetimes.
Coral reefs are hotspots of biodiversity and are amazingly productive with a vast number of organisms interacting simultaneously.
Native marine macroalgae, also known as limu (seaweed), thrive in environments created by natural groundwater seeps, specifically benefiting from the combined effects of enhanced nutrients despite lowered salinity levels, according to a review published by a team of University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers.
Local fisheries and their associated biodiversity benefit from the transfer of larvae between reefs, with some benefitting more than others, prompting recommendations to protect larval connectivity among coral reefs.
World-renowned microbiome research at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa received a major boost by the National Science Foundation.
Astronomers at the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy (IfA) are part of a team that recently discovered three planets orbiting dangerously close to stars nearing the ends of their lives.
The first on-the-ground detection of water on the Moon’s surface was reported by an international team of researchers, including Shuai Li, a planetary geologist at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
