Hoover the ‘talking seal’ famously imitated human speech. But can baby seals already adapt their voices to sounds? Researchers have now studied seal pups only a few weeks old. The pups lowered the pitch of their voice when they heard louder noises. Thi…
A new study that modeled changes in the world’s 45 different ‘life zones’ from climate change revealed that climate impacts may soon triple over these areas if the earth continues ‘business-as-usual’ emissions.
Researchers have shown that antibody levels against SARS-CoV-2 (the COVID-19 virus) stay more durable — that is, remain higher over an extended period of time — in people who were infected by the virus and then received protection from two doses of m…
New results relied on a cleaner technique to manipulate the flow of electricity, giving graphene greater conductivity than metals such as copper and gold, and raising its potential for use in telecommunications systems and quantum computers.
The theory has been touted as a possible explanation for America’s longstanding gender wage gap. But new research suggests women exhibit their competitiveness differently.
It is estimated that about 5-10 volcanoes worldwide are capable of producing a super-eruption that could catastrophically affect global climate. One of these volcanoes hides below the waters of Lake Toba in Sumatra and has caused two super-eruptions in…
A team of researchers has discovered unexpectedly familiar behavior in the antiferroelectric material known as zirconium dioxide, or zirconia.
Researchers show it is possible to improve specific human brain functions related to self-control and mental flexibility by merging artificial intelligence with targeted electrical brain stimulation.
As COP26 leaders gather in the UK, new research shows a temperature increase of around 1.5°C — just under the maximum target agreed at the COP23 Paris meeting in 2017 — can have a marked impact on algae and animal species living on our coastlines.
Monoclonal antibodies protected aged, diabetic rhesus macaque monkeys from disease due to SARS-CoV-2 and reduced signs of inflammation, including in cerebrospinal fluid, according to a new study.
