Understanding anti-blackness at Hispanic-serving research universities
At Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), conversations about diversity often center on supporting Hispanic/Latine students. New research from scholars at Univer...
Geoscientists reveal how Earth's forces are shaping the 'Roof of the World'
Geoscientists at the University of Glasgow have helped reveal new evidence about the formation of one of the highest mountainous areas on Earth—the Tibetan Plat...
To ancient astronomers, Theta Eridani was brighter for 1,000 years—now we know why
There's a bit of a historical mystery surrounding the star Theta Eridani. Ptolemy in the second century A.D. and al-Sufi in A.D. 964 both recorded Theta Eridani...
New sensors capture warning signs before fish deaths in Lake Victoria
Researchers from King's College London recorded the warning signs of a major low-oxygen event in Lake Victoria just hours before fish deaths were reported by lo...
Dark energy flips its sign, but the Hubble tension refuses to budge
For nearly a century, astronomers have known that the universe is expanding. In the late 1990s, two independent teams, the Supernova Cosmology Project, led by S...
Children back group claims over evidence, but privacy reduces bias, experiments reveal
As we move closer to Election Day 2026, voting preferences are moving back into focus—and with them, analyses of what drives partisanship at the polls. However,...
Why natural forests survive heat waves better than planted forests
When a record-breaking drought and heat wave swept across China's Yangtze River Basin in 2022, forests across the region faced an extreme test. The event provid...
Moderate warming rewires one-third of microalga's genes, study finds
Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii alters the activity of about one-third of its protein-coding genes...
Visible light triggers three-step cascade to make 3D drug-like molecules
A team led by chemist Frank Glorius, a professor at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the University of Münster, has developed a new light-driven reaction s...
New 3D COF structure could help tune porous materials for batteries and cleanup
A research team synthesized and determined the structure of a borate-linked 3D crystalline covalent organic framework, TCTP-COF, via electron diffraction for th...
Researchers find simple solution for extending the lifespan of LEDs made from glowing quantum dots
A new study led by MIT researchers could drive the development of more energy-efficient digital displays—such as flat-screen TVs, augmented and virtual reality...
Ancient DNA challenges family assumptions in medieval Scandinavian graves
When archaeologists find adults and children buried together in medieval graves, it is often assumed that they were members of the same family. A new study from...
