A single fix reverses the case for rolling back vehicle emissions standards
Two administrations, the Biden administration and the second Trump administration, reached opposite conclusions about whether vehicle emissions standards should...
Q&A: What dinosaur teeth reveal about diet and evolution
What did dinosaurs eat? Teeth provide important clues to understanding the ecology of dinosaurs, which became extinct approximately 66 million years ago. Their...
Femtosecond nano-imaging reveals ultrafast optical control of phonon polaritons
A collaborative research team has successfully visualized in real space the ultrafast optical modulation of hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) in a van der W...
Managing chronic conditions together may be key to longer lifespan, canine study finds
As dogs age, many develop more than one chronic health condition. New research from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) show...
ESA JUICE probe targets dark Jovian moon Kallichore in 2031
Jupiter hosts more than 100 moons, with most attention focused on the four Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. This is primarily due to their act...
Organic crystal reveals how Joule heating stabilizes resistive switching
Metal-insulator transitions (MITs), in which a material changes from a metallic state with low resistivity to an insulating state because of a change in an exte...
Antarctica is home to microbes found nowhere else on Earth
Scientists have often wondered about species that are unique to Antarctica. But the focus has mainly been on animals, like feathery penguins. CIRES researchers...
Looking for Earth 2.0 in binary systems
While astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets over the last few decades, the true prize continues to elude them—they have yet to find an Earth-mass, rock...
Industrial-scale microbial foods—growth strategies for the next-generation protein market
The question is no longer whether microbial foods can be made. The question now is who can be first to turn them into an industry. KAIST researchers have analyz...
A Permian fossil may reveal the oldest known flowering-plant structure
Despite the importance and dominance of angiosperms ("flowering plants") in the current ecosystem, it is rather surprising that we know so little about their or...
Farm-based nanopore sequencing study reports reliable genetic testing results
Fast, on-farm genetic testing for cattle is practical and achievable for northern producers, according to University of Queensland research. In partnership with...
New method swaps single atom in a molecule to speed drug discovery
Swapping out one letter in a word can entirely change its meaning. Similarly, swapping one atom in a molecule can completely change its identity. A group of che...
