Wild dogs make the longest recorded journey of any terrestrial mammal in Africa
African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) travel incredibly long distances to search for a mate and new places to breed. They typically embark on these mammoth treks as...
Avoiding a sticky situation: How cells stop messenger RNAs from clumping together
Messenger RNA, or mRNA, is best known for carrying genetic instructions from DNA to the cellular machinery that makes proteins. But all RNA molecules have anoth...
Frontline safety concerns mount among property managers, new survey shows
Safety and security challenges are creating unprecedented strain for frontline property management professionals, according to a new bilingual survey conducted...
CubeSat instrument extends solar storm warnings 10x
The sun is the reason life exists on our small, blue planet. It provides solar radiation that warms the planet and ignites intricate biochemical processes like...
Satellite data reveal ESG scores track public image more than actual forest loss
Environmental sustainability researchers at NUS found that widely used environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings often fail to reflect companies' actua...
Biophysical model suggests how cells optimize information gathering without using too much energy
In both biological and engineered systems, cells and sensors must make sense of noisy, changing signals to function. However, collecting and using this informat...
Local experience shapes how coastal communities understand and respond to climate change
While people across the globe are experiencing various impacts of climate change, governments and communicators often use top-to-bottom, uniform communication s...
Fertilizer study reveals where the world can boost food production and cut pollution
Global consumption of fertilizer has doubled since 1980, but some regions that have historically overused fertilizer, including China and parts of Europe, have...
New research calls for more consistent, child-centered policing to build trust and protect children
New research co-led by the University of Bedfordshire and the University of Lancashire has highlighted the need for more consistent child-centered and safeguard...
Marine bacteria team up to break down one of the ocean's toughest carbon-storing molecules
Deep in the ocean, brown algae and diatoms produce a complex carbohydrate molecule called fucoidan, which helps form their protective outer layers. The fucoidan...
Scientists create 'super ice' that is ten times stronger and far harder to shatter
Ice is cheap, abundant and surprisingly strong. But it has one major weakness: Cracks can race through it, causing it to shatter without warning. Now, scientist...
Advanced X-ray crystallography determines structure of macromolecule at unprecedented resolution
Proteins are high-performance molecular machines that carry out nearly every biochemical function inside living cells. To understand how they achieve this, scie...
