People with more mobility in the labor market experience less discrimination
Employees who can easily change jobs are less likely to experience workplace discrimination. When dealing with a discriminatory employer, job mobility acts as a...
Hitting bacteria hard and early with diverse phage cocktails may curb resistance
As multidrug antibiotic resistance emerges as a potent public health challenge, medical science has renewed attention on the potential for bacteriophage therapy...
Evolution favors flatter paths when fitness outcomes are equal, study finds
A surprising discovery by Technion researchers sheds new light on the dynamics of evolution. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, t...
Tiny oxygen gaps may determine whether next-generation memory films store data well
Researchers have captured in real time the "birth moment" when the performance of a next-generation memory material is determined. The key lies in controlling o...
Boosting soybean protein: Zinc and sulfur essential in sustainable crop production
Soybean is a critical element of the global food supply: Between its use for animal feed and human consumption, it accounts for roughly two-thirds of plant-base...
Primed and ready to fight, a nematode pheromone arms plants to battle pathogens
When cold and flu season comes around, we take steps like getting our flu shots and taking immune supplements to strengthen our bodies' defenses against pathoge...
Vehicle-mounted spectroscopy system detects methane in real time
Researchers have developed a vehicle-mounted spectroscopy system that can reliably detect methane in real time while driving. Using a moving vehicle to detect m...
Specific cover crops may help attract insects that target harmful pests
Different cover crops may affect how plants defend themselves against pests—including by attracting more insects that eat harmful caterpillars—according to a ne...
Discovery reveals rapid pathways to complex aromatic molecules in space
A team of researchers led by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Department of Chemistry has uncovered a faster way large carbon-based molecules may form in spac...
Molecular makeover brightens organic light near 1,000 nanometers
Near-infrared organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that emit about 1,000 nanometers could support biomedical and security technologies. Yet pushing organic lig...
Study reveals inter-city collaboration on emission reduction boosts sustainability performance
With Hong Kong recently recording record-breaking high temperatures, extreme weather has once again raised public awareness of global warming and emission-reduc...
Short, intense storms gain intensity across Hawaiʻi
While long-term data show that Hawaiʻi is getting drier overall, short, intense downpours that cause sudden, dangerous flash floods are getting stronger on the...
