AI is reshaping how entrepreneurs think and adapt, study suggests
Artificial intelligence is changing not only how entrepreneurs run their businesses, but how they think about risk, opportunity and adaptation, according to new...
A possible first-ever Einstein probe observation of a black hole tearing apart a white dwarf
On July 2, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose brightness varied rapidly during a routin...
Q&A: Expert discusses the 'gay voice' stereotype
Dr. Fabio Fasoli is an expert in social communication, with a specific focus on LGBTQIA+ and gender minorities. An aspect of his research that has attracted sig...
Moving beyond money to measure the true value of Earth science information
They're all around us: sensors and satellites, radars and drones. These tools form vast remote sensing networks that collect data on the climate, the ground, th...
Silent witnesses: Pets offer a fur-ensic tale
New research confirms the potential for police forensic investigators to carefully consider the presence of pets at crime scenes as a credible new avenue for fi...
When heat flows backwards: A neat solution for hydrodynamic heat transport
When we think about heat traveling through a material, we typically picture diffusive transport, a process that transfers heat from high-temperature to low-temp...
Football-sized fossil creature may have been one of the first land animals to eat plants
Life on Earth started in the oceans. Sometime around 475 million years ago, plants began making their way from the water onto the land, and it took another 100...
