New 'Mars GPS' lets Perseverance pinpoint its location within 25 centimeters
Imagine you're all alone, driving along in a rocky, unforgiving desert with no roads, no map, no GPS, and no more than one phone call a day for someone to infor...
How the humble silkworm could help us discover new anti-aging treatments
When scientists want to study aging and how to slow it down, they often turn to microscopic worms or lab mice among other models. The former are too different f...
Archaeologists identify elders in Iron Age Israel through household artifacts
A new study from Bar-Ilan University is shedding light on a long-overlooked social group in archaeology: the elderly. While research on women and children has f...
Fungus with species-jumping genes threatens coffee crops. 'Resurrecting' fungal genomes may help understand it
For anyone who relies on coffee to start their day, coffee wilt disease may be the most important disease you've never heard of. This fungal disease has repeate...
Machine learning algorithm fully reconstructs LHC particle collisions
The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle collisions at the LHC. This new approach ca...

Researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences have devised a new way to make...
The Peace-Athabasca Delta is at risk. Here's what we can do to evaluate the threats
River deltas are among the most complex and productive environments on Earth. Yet, they face serious threats from upstream industrialization and climate change,...
CEOs who experience natural disasters are more likely to lead safer workplaces
Every year, millions of workers are injured or die on the job, imposing enormous human and economic costs. The socio-economic impact of workplace safety is hard...
Olympic Games and climate action: Time for a fundamental shift, say researchers
The carbon footprint of the Olympic Games remains substantial, despite reforms by the International Olympic Committee. A new study by the University of Lausanne...
Corals in extreme coastal bays show greater resilience to climate stress
Corals living in coastal bays with strongly fluctuating temperatures and environmental conditions are better able to withstand heat and other stressors than the...
Antibiotic resistance is rising: A membrane protease could be E. coli's weak spot
A University of Alberta research team has identified a new drug target to treat harmful E. coli bacteria—which cause nearly 250,000 deaths a year from urinary t...
