Science, engineering, and discovery — the research and breakthroughs that matter.

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.

Prolonged dry spells or droughts can sometimes reduce aquatic diseases, many of which affect people. Yet other times, water scarcity can counterintuitively lead to an uptick in diseases that depend on water.

Topical clove oil for canine sarcoptic mange promises faster, plant-based treatment and more — today's student signal.

As we age, the body appears to sacrifice walking efficiency in exchange for stability. Older adults stiffen the ankle more with each step, which may help prevent falls but also forces the muscles to work harder while producing less forward motion. This leads to shorter strides, s

Canine sarcoptic mange (scabies) is a skin condition in which microscopic mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) infest dogs' skin. The condition is contagious and zoonotic and can be difficult to detect. If left untreated, it can cause bleeding sores, malnutrition, emaciation and secondary b

A recent National Student Safety Survey found that one in six students attending Australian universities had been sexually harassed and one in 20 had been sexually assaulted since starting university.

Scientists are increasingly relying on powerful data sources and tools that they often cannot fully understand, inspect or verify, according to a new study.

The latest study from the Food Systems Countdown Initiative (FSCI) reveals the stark reality of where global food systems transformation stands: for most indicators on health, environment, livelihoods, governance and resilience, a vast majority of countries will not meet the inte

Would you trust your child to stay home alone? For many caregivers, the answer depends on age. But when it comes to safety and independence, neuroscience suggests a different question may be more important: Is your child developmentally ready to stay home alone?

Social media has become an important source of information for consumers making purchasing decisions, with prior research finding that more than 90% of consumers consult social media before making a purchase. For businesses, that makes social media a potential source of informati

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative brain disorder characterized by progressive memory loss and a decline in other mental functions. Past studies have consistently linked this disorder to the accumulation of the protein amyloid-β (Aβ) between brain cells, ultimately result

Much like the automobile a century earlier, generative artificial intelligence has arrived in society with significant concerns. Just as cities and towns learned that cars required limits governing their use and development, many disciplines affected by AI are similarly asking wh

By the early 1990s, there were only around 20 Florida panthers left on the planet.

Young people are significantly more likely than older generations to hold hostile attitudes toward women, and these attitudes are being reflected in classroom behavior, according to new research from the University of Melbourne.

Researchers have identified two new species in the genus Bogidiella, small shrimp-like amphipods that live in subterranean aquatic environments, from cave waters on the Ryukyu Islands, a subtropical island chain in southwestern Japan. These creatures are clear products of their u

Astronomers may finally have a clue to what happens to the mysterious “little red dots” that crowded the early universe. By studying a spiral galaxy nicknamed the “Saguaro,” researchers found a compact, bright red center that closely resembles these distant objects—but with somet

Scientists are searching some of Earth’s oldest rocks for tiny fossils that could reveal how simple microbial life made the extraordinary leap toward plants, animals, and other complex organisms. Solving that ancient mystery may also help determine whether complex life could emer

Astronomers have discovered that the jet of a distant blazar has been gravitationally lensed by an unseen source of dark matter. Led by Silke Britzen at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Germany, the team's results could prove especially important for observations o
