New research exposes humans' early ecological versatility

A recent study by University of Helsinki researchers sheds new light on the ecological adaptability of early humans at the time when they first expanded their range outside Africa, from 2 million to 1 million years ago.

Study examines link between underwater landslides and tsunamis

Scientists have calculated a way to determine the speed of past underwater landslides. To do so, researchers from The Ohio State University studied the remains of an underwater landslide just off the coast of Oregon—dubbed ...

Biobased mulch spray curbs weeds in vegetable crops

Biobased sprayable mulch (BSM) films are a potential alternative to herbicides, polyethylene plastic mulch film, and hand weeding for specialty crops. Researchers at the American Society for Horticultural Science have developed ...

Pushing the limits of gas sensing technology

The world has become increasingly industrialized over the past few centuries, bringing all sorts of technology and conveniences to the masses. However, workers in industrial environments are often at risk of exposure to many ...

Study leverages chiral phonons for transformative quantum effect

Quantum materials hold the key to a future of lightning-speed, energy-efficient information systems. The problem with tapping their transformative potential is that in solids, the vast number of atoms often drowns out the ...
