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.
“At the root of these works is the issue of poetics — painterly and textual for Jablon, dynamic, multicolor geometry for Odita.”
An exhibition at the Asian Art Museum is only the latest step in a long journey to chart the development of Korean identity through art.
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.
The mid-ocean ‘twilight zone’ holds the key to several tantalizing questions about the marine food web and carbon-sequestering capacity of the ocean. But studying this vast and remote area is extremely difficult. Many inhabitants of the twilight zone a…
Researchers have developed a new test to more easily diagnose medulloblastoma, the most common malignant childhood brain tumor. The test — which can distinguish between extremely high-risk medulloblastoma cases that need radiation therapy from those t…
A new study reveals how sperm change their swimming patterns to navigate to the egg, shifting from a symmetrical motion that moves the sperm in a straight path to an asymmetrical one that promotes more circular swimming.
Genetic detective work has uncovered an obscure ancestor of modern bread wheat, in a finding similar to uncovering a famous long-lost relative through DNA analysis in humans.
New research reveals more information about the first and oldest of the ‘big five’ extinctions. Around 85% of marine species, most of which lived in shallow oceans near continents, disappeared during that time.
New computer simulations predict deep changes in growing conditions affecting the productivity of major crops already within the next 10 years if current global warming trends continue. Maize crop yields are projected to decline by almost a quarter by …
Investors appear to be bullish about the earnings report that’s due out next week, as well as SoFi’s prospects of obtaining a bank charter.
