Strangles is one of the most common infectious diseases of horses worldwide, but accurately determining whether a horse has been exposed to the bacterium that causes it can be challenging. Researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS)
How potentials and electric fields together control reactions on catalyst surfaces and more — today's student signal.
Researchers at the Interface Science Department (ISC) have shown that electrochemical reactions at solid-solution interfaces can be impacted by two closely related, yet, distinct factors. The applied potential can drive a reaction forward. Additionally, electric fields in the ext
Bigger than the RMS Titanic and faster than the RMS Queen Mary, the SS United States was a nautical wonder during the mid-20th century—the nation's premier luxury ocean liner that once ferried presidents and Hollywood elite across the Atlantic in opulence.
Scientists from the Physics Department and Organic Electroactive Materials research group at Durham University have made significant advances in understanding how materials absorb and release light in two recently published research papers in Nature Communications.
For the first time, researchers in Australia have identified and tracked the weather systems that are collectively more important to rainfall across the tropics than tropical cyclones. The work, published in the journal Weather and Climate Dynamics, has advanced a new way to inve
The Sunday roast and the backyard barbecue have long been Australian rituals. The country is one of the world's biggest consumers of red meat. The average Australian ate about 22 kilograms (49 pounds) of beef in 2024.
A new study by researchers at the Indo-French Cell for Water Sciences (IFCWS), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), introduces a new framework for water budgeting in agricultural regions that includes farmers' social categories that are usually neglected. The work is published in
Plants continuously adapt to environmental changes, and temperature is a key signal for growth and flowering. How plant thermometers, or "thermosensors," work at the molecular level is not well understood.
Something funny happened at work, and there is one person you really want to tell. You stare at their name in your contact list. You know that if you call, no one will answer. They're gone.
Ancient manuscripts, including the 1,000-year-old York Gospels, have revealed traces of a deadly sheep virus whose history stretches back more than 3,700 years. Scientists discovered that the virus has remained remarkably unchanged for millennia, turning historic parchment into a
New research from Murdoch University has revealed that Carnaby's cockatoos depend on small, fragmented patches of native vegetation to survive in heavily cleared landscapes—a finding that could play an important role in protecting the endangered species.
Riders of shared e-scooters are much more likely to attribute their near misses to inexperience than riders of privately owned e-scooters, a longitudinal study led by QUT road safety researchers has found.
Researchers at The University of Queensland are on a quest to identify key aroma compounds that could make no- and low-alcohol (NOLO) wine more attractive to drinkers.
Climate change has caused substantial alterations in forest ecosystems worldwide through changes in temperature and precipitation patterns. A new study from Osaka Metropolitan University (OMU) suggests that these effects are also evident in Japan, where forests are undergoing cha

Today, tropical waters typically host a wider range of marine animals than polar waters. This decline in marine biodiversity from the equator toward the North and South poles is known as the latitudinal diversity gradient.
Inside each cell is a dynamic world of molecules and chemicals, signals and receivers, and construction and destruction. With all this activity, it's inevitable that cellular parts get worn down over time. Thankfully, cells have evolved an efficient recycling process that breaks
A majestic and all but indestructible 20th-century ocean liner that once ferried royal leaders, movie stars and even the "Mona Lisa" to the United States was being deliberately sunk Wednesday to become the world's largest artificial reef.
Swiss researchers have found a new way of detecting the notorious date-rape drug GHB in urine for up to 72 hours after ingestion, in a possible boon to sexual assault investigations.
A European spacecraft has begun close inspections of an asteroid rammed by NASA four years ago in a planetary defense test.
The divisions over baboons run deep in Simon's Town, where their defenders and haters have clashed on social media and sometimes in real life for years.
Researchers at the Interface Science Department (ISC) have shown that electrochemical reactions at solid-solution interfaces can be impacted by two closely related, yet, distinct factors. The applied potential can drive a reaction forward. Additionally, electric fields in the ext
Earth's water may have been born in the planet's fiery atmosphere rather than delivered by icy comets or asteroids. Scientists discovered that rocky pebbles reacting with hydrogen under extreme heat can produce water in minutes, potentially generating hundreds of oceans' worth du
