New research suggests that no matter what we eventually determine the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees to be, we'll learn it was a primate that climbed trees.
The complete genome of the tuberculosis bacterium was sequenced and published in 1998. Since then, scientists have deciphered about two-thirds of TB's genes. Or have they?
Billions of federal dollars are invested in public transportation each year, but those investments may yield greater ridership gains in smaller and midsize transit systems, particularly in the South and West, than in the nation's largest metropolitan areas, according to a new stu
"Students are funneled into echo chambers, lured into extremist content through innocent avenues such as gaming and workout videos, then exposed to extreme misogyny, racism, homophobia and transphobia." That's how one Australian teacher described what they're seeing in their clas
Humpty Dumpty had all the king's horses and all the king's men, but it wasn't enough to put him back together again. This raises the question: How many horses and men did he actually need?
A breakthrough in AI-driven crop disease detection is set to reduce harvest losses and chemical-related health risks, thanks to a first-of-its-kind tomato leaf dataset comprising almost 9,000 images.
By the early 1990s, there were only around 20 Florida panthers left on the planet.
Ling LeBeau and Steve Schaffling spent five years building and refining a framework for supporting international students at Syracuse University, culminating in the establishment of the International Student Success Model, launched by the Office of Academic and Career Advising/Of
Bird flu is circulating among birds on the Australian mainland. So, with the confirmed number of detections growing, you may be wondering about the risk of birds infecting humans.
The Nigerian fishing community being eaten up by the Atlantic and more — today's student signal.
The beach shrinks every year in Ayetoro, in southern Nigeria, and what is left is peppered with the remains of homes swallowed by the ocean—some years ago, some just months prior.
Hurricane Lala was pulling away from Hawaii's Big Island early Sunday as heavy rain and strong winds struck the U.S. Pacific state and officials warned of potentially dangerous flooding.
Students around the world are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT to find answers to questions about physics, according to a new study led by researchers at Bar-Ilan University.
There is no question that the current global temperature increase is human-caused. Global warming has long since emerged as the dominant signal amid natural climate fluctuations. However, identifying how this warming manifests regionally remains a key challenge.
Every year, thousands of tons of radish by-products generated during kimchi production are discarded despite containing valuable carbon and nutrient resources. Researchers at the World Institute of Kimchi (WiKim) have developed a genome-scale model-guided microbial engineering st
Histone variants help establish DNA methylation at transposons (jumping genes) while preventing this epigenetic modification from spreading to essential genes in plants, a study from the Institute of Science Tokyo reveals. By revealing how these chromosome-associated proteins gui
Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered that neurons in a locust's brain can distinguish among multiple PFAS compounds, including PFOS, one of the world's most common "forever chemicals," at environmentally relevant concentrations.
Sunflowers are unable to fully recover from drought, new research has found, contradicting previous findings on the plant's ability to reverse drought-induced failure of water-transporting tissues and revealing new insights into how drought affects plants.
It took nearly 15 years, researchers around the world and enough computing power to search through a universe of possibilities to answer one question: Who goes first?
New research suggests that no matter what we eventually determine the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees to be, we'll learn it was a primate that climbed trees.
Physicists at the University of Twente have improved the standard test for the quality of individual particles of light. By letting three photons interfere at the same time instead of two, they draw more information from every measurement. Their experiment outperforms even a perf
Flinders University researchers examined AOD VET provision in Australia in 2024, comparing it with a 2011 review, and found there has been a contraction in programs despite a major increase in the share of private providers—while demand for qualified support workers continues to
When people think about climate change and animals, they might picture melting sea ice, drought-stricken landscapes or species struggling in the wild. Far less attention is given to the animals living in our care. Yet as heat waves become more frequent, intense and unpredictable,
Children and seniors who have difficulty chewing and swallowing conventional tablets may have an easier way to find pain relief. Cornell researchers have developed an ultrafast-dissolving nanofiber film that can deliver a cocktail of three drugs so quickly and effectively that 90
