Male Neanderthal pelvises resemble those of modern females, challenging decades-old assumptions
A new study by the Department of Anatomy and Anthropology at Tel Aviv University, published in Scientific Reports, offers an explanation for one of the striking...
Trying to compete with China could slow global climate action, report warns
China's dominance of key green technologies is helping to subsidize the global transition to a low-carbon economy, but trade tensions could make it harder for o...
Red blood cells inspire next-generation therapeutic nanocarriers
Red blood cells serve as the foundation for nanocarriers that show promise in a new study as effective and efficient vehicles for gene therapy, tumor targeting...
Time-gating technique sees through deep tissue, dense fog, and other obstacles
From helping doctors detect cancer to guiding self-driving cars through traffic, many modern imaging systems rely on near-infrared light, producing a crisp pict...
Researcher is trying to save biodiverse landscapes, one unkempt garden at a time
You've probably seen it before: A native garden starts out lush and intentional, then slowly unravels. A meadow is overtaken by weeds. Native grasses are cut do...
Hubble solves merger mystery from Milky Way's early years
Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, grew to its current size in part by consuming smaller galaxies. Now, new data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope show definitive...
A weakening Atlantic Ocean current system could accelerate Earth's warming
A current system in the Atlantic Ocean that shapes regional climates and distributes ocean nutrients also serves as a control knob to help regulate temperatures...
Researchers identify ways to reduce the lag between biodiversity data and action
Biodiversity is enormously diverse, unevenly observed and constantly in motion across space and time. This makes it far harder to monitor than many other parts...
Can computers learn what makes the most iconic jazz musicians stand out?
Machine learning models can identify jazz pianists from recordings and reveal the musical "fingerprints" that make individual performers recognizable, according...
Pesticides make Argentine ants go crazy, sending them roaming or clustering before workers die
Don't assume an uptick in ant activity after setting out pesticide traps means the treatment failed. New UC Riverside research shows their behavior changes as c...
Quantum light engine links atom-photon thermodynamics to classical physics
What is heat, and what is useful work if a machine consists only of an atom and light particles? In modern quantum technologies, this kind of question connects...
How rugged gullies protect hidden rainforests in the Greater Blue Mountains
Researchers have uncovered rainforest communities previously hidden within the rugged gullies of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area that are protect...
