New research offers managers a framework for understanding who wins in AI ecosystems and why
An article published in the Strategic Management Journal, "Value Creation in Innovation Ecosystems," by Ron Adner and Rahul Kapoor, offers a framework for under...
Unexpected bond-breaking order reveals a new path to bioluminescence
The dancing lights of fireflies and the eerie blue sparkle in crashing waves get their glow when a molecular square of carbon and oxygen atoms breaks. New resea...
A resilient native seagrass species could help reshape coastal restoration
Seagrasses are among the most important foundation species in coastal ecosystems, providing habitat for marine life, stabilizing sediments and helping improve w...
Could understanding leaf surfaces lead to new ways to prevent crop disease?
Fungal diseases that affect grain crops can be devastating to global agriculture and food security. Fungicides are the most common preventive measure, but as fu...
Astronomers catch massive star's death from the first explosive moment
In March 2026, the Einstein Probe detected a brief flash of soft X-rays emitted from a galaxy about 500 million light-years away. The flash, dubbed EP260321a, i...
New approach to cleaning the inner walls of a fusion system removes another obstacle to near-endless energy
Fusion systems need inner walls that can withstand extreme heat. One promising solution uses liquid lithium to protect the walls, held like water in a sponge ma...
How the 'fecal revolution' changed Earth's ecosystems
An international study led by Flinders University has found a fertile area of inspiration to explain an important step in evolution—and it's a whole lot of poop...
What makes us happy?
Maybe to some degree. But a new international study suggests the communities we live in matter a whole lot, too. Researchers analyzed responses from 97,220 peop...
Repetitive genomic regions link structural genomic variation to species diversity
Researchers sequenced the genomes of three medaka, or Japanese rice fish, a common model organism used in biological research, nearly 10 and 20 years ago. While...
Magnetic dopants help quantum dots use light for chemical reactions
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have demonstrated a new quantum-dot mechanism that could significantly expand the reach of light-driven chemistry....
Iron and cobalt both curb stainless invar expansion, but iron leads
Invar alloys resist expanding or contracting with temperature, a property valuable for precision instruments, but it has been unclear how this "invar effect" pl...
Fire department leaders drive crew fitness, study finds
For firefighters, physical fitness is a matter of safety, survival and long-term health. While past research has largely focused on individual habits, a new stu...
