Single-cell imaging and machine learning reveal hidden coordination in algae's response to light stress
Researchers from several Parisian institutions have worked together to develop a non-destructive approach to study how unicellular organisms respond to stress,...
Volunteers need training and support to deal with disclosures of child abuse in community sport
A new study by Victoria University (VU) reveals volunteers involved in community sport need more support when recognizing and responding to disclosures of abuse...
New imaging technique maps membrane lipids in 3D at nanoscale
Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats (lipids) and proteins. Those special...
Urban stormwater ponds support rich bird life
Urban stormwater ponds provide important habitats for birds, including both resident and migrating species, according to research led by the University of Toron...
New research reveals high option trading fees and barriers to competition

Satellite-driven model provides 'more realistic and reliable' predictions of sand and dust storm emissions
The technology used to predict sand and dust storm (SDS) severity has for decades systematically overestimated when and where sediment is transported across Ear...
Belt-like VO₂(B) single crystals unlock high-sensitivity gas detection at room temperature
An international research team has successfully synthesized oriented belt-shaped vanadium dioxide (VO2(B)) single crystals via a hydrothermal reduction method,...
Genomic test could help stop destructive Asian spongy moth in its tracks
Invasive species cost Canada billions of dollars each year. Now, a team led by UBC researchers has developed a new genomic test that can trace the Asian spongy...
Why Americans think they won't benefit from Social Security
Social Security's trust funds are projected to run out by 2035, but that doesn't mean retirees will be left with nothing. New research from the Cornell SC Johns...
'Gray-box' AI reveals why catalysts work while speeding discovery
Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) powered by artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly accelerating materials discovery, but can they also explain their results?...
New NMR method allows the observation of chalcogen bonds
Toward the right side of the periodic table below oxygen, are the chalcogens, or "ore-forming" elements. The chalcogens that occur naturally, including sulfur,...
