Scientific discoveries and research
If plants had never learned to grow in multiple directions, our world would look very different. No trees, flowers, or other complex plants—and theref...
Nonstructural disaster measures, including early warnings and evacuation systems, helped improve coastal resilience and reduce storm-surge impacts in...
Stanford scientists have discovered a new type of immune cell that kills surrounding cells via explosion—a cellular detonation so fast and complete th...
Researchers have developed a fish-like robot that shows how some species of modern fish are able to walk on land, and could help unravel how early ver...
Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter their above-ground structur...
Balancing economic growth and environmental protection is not easy. Consider wetlands, which provide flood protection, aid water quality, and are linc...
Numerical simulations in physics often require estimating a multitude of parameters, making the process computationally expensive and complex. Researc...
By definition, elementary particles can't be broken into smaller pieces. But in a new theoretical study published in Physical Review Letters, Johannes...
Changing market conditions are increasing the need for cost-effective ways to produce biorenewable chemicals, biofuels and materials that can serve as...
Turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) may not be beautiful, but they are certainly adaptable. A new study published in the Journal of Raptor Research, titl...
A fault line running alongside the Hunua Ranges in South Auckland is now identified as active and has the potential to cause a major earthquake with s...
MIT engineers are testing a new propulsion system that combines the power and speed of conventional chemical thrusters with the precision and fuel-eff...
