New research has found a connection between pleasant weather conditions and higher investment in lottery-like stocks.

A study has found that frequent mowing of Solanum elaeagnifolium, also known as silverleaf nightshade, may help create a ‘superweed.’ A professor of entomology and plant pathology has been studying silverleaf nightshade for more than a decade. New find…

A new study indicates that airplane noise may increase one’s risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases, a cluster of conditions such as heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and hypertension. The study found that people who were exposed to airplane noise l…

MIT researchers developed a technique to combine robotics training data across domains, modalities, and tasks using generative AI models. They create a combined strategy from several different datasets that enables a robot to learn to perform new tasks…

Researchers call for strengthening existing planetary protection policies beyond the space surrounding Earth to include requirements for preserving the Lunar and Martian environments.

Researchers combine AI and mobile health to predict recovery from lumbar spine surgery.

A glacier’s flow depends on how microscopic defects move through the ice, according to new research that also yielded a new model for predicting how glaciers will flow, ultimately contributing to sea-level rise.

A new scientific model is giving researchers an unprecedented, global look at the activities of clams, worms, and other invertebrate animals that burrow at the bottom of the ocean.

Researchers conducting a study at a high-traffic intersection in a Jersey Shore town have found that the installation of a bike lane along the road approaching the convergence reduced driving speeds.

Obeldesivir (GS-5245), a novel investigational small molecule oral antiviral, represents a new tool in the ongoing effort to prepare for future pandemics.

The movement of carbon between the atmosphere, oceans and continents — or carbon cycle — regulates Earth’s climate, with the ocean playing a major role in carbon sequestration. A new study finds that the shape and depth of the ocean floor explain up …

A new computational machine learning method developed by computational biologists can help researchers discover spatial patterns of gene expression in diseased tissue.

Researchers develop a vastly more productive way to convert carbon dioxide into useful materials and compounds.

In times of crisis, effective humanitarian aid depends largely on the fast and efficient allocation of resources and personnel. Accurate data about the locations and movements of affected people in these situations is essential for this. Researchers ha…

A recent study suggests that the SIX2 protein may be a possible factor underlying increased plasticity of prostate cancer cells and treatment resistance.

Biological processes depend on puzzle pieces coming together and interacting. Under specific conditions, these interactions can create something new without external input. This is called self-organization, as seen in a school of fish or a flock of bir…
