How international aid fragmentation affects corruption in developing countries
An SKKU research team led by Professor Travers B. Child of the SKK Graduate School of Business (SKK GSB) has become the first in the world to use micro-level da...
When polymers meet primitive membranes: How molecular cooperation may have helped life begin
A new study suggests that simple molecules on early Earth may have worked together to create more stable, cell-like structures, offering fresh clues about one o...
Tropical species near thermal limits as global warming compresses safety margins
With global warming and extreme weather intensifying, can animals raise their thermal tolerance to cope with a continuously warming environment? A joint researc...
How changing environments can preserve an ancient microbial survival strategy
A research group led by Tetsuhiro Hatakeyama from the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science Tokyo has revealed how a seemingly self-de...
Seabirds trade their own survival to raise more chicks after energy-intensive breeding seasons
Wild seabirds that face high energy demands during the breeding season go on to migrate farther and raise more chicks the next year, but at a cost to their own...
Researchers develop model that predicts which Red Sea fish are most likely to invade the Mediterranean
More than 120 fish species have migrated from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean since the Suez Canal opened more than 150 years ago. Now, researchers at Tel Aviv...
Kids who own cellphones have poorer reading comprehension scores than those who don't, researchers find
School cellphone bans might seem like a good way to improve learning for elementary school children, but new research published in Behavioral Sciences shows tha...
Listening to living soil may help people reconnect with nature
Strengthening the bond between people and nature—that is the aim of a German–Dutch EU project involving Oldenburg. The reasoning behind this is that people who...
Molecular switch that activates cell growth signaling may offer more precise route for anticancer therapy
Cells carry their own growth switches. When enough nutrients—amino acids in particular—are available, cells flip this switch on and begin to grow. Researchers a...
Prolonged stretching reorganizes tissue scaffolds and uncages cell nuclei
How do tissues cope with being stretched for hours or even days? A study led by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) has uncovere...
New thermodynamic framework explains pressure and edge currents in spinning active particles
Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), the Technical University of Darmstadt, Sapienza University in Rome and the University of Camerino (b...
How NASA plans to build the Habitable Worlds Observatory
We've been covering the journey of the Habitable Worlds Observatory for some time now. Over the past few years, it's gone from a proposal to a relatively fleshe...
