How do we survive when the world strikes again? How do we cope when crisis hit? An extreme external incident where the food supply fails and resources dwindle. Should we store food, leave our homes or seek help from the neighbors? ...
Climate change is melting away glaciers around the world, but in the Andes Mountains, a wild relative of the llama is helping local ecosystems adapt to these changes by dropping big piles of dung.
Researchers at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering have used machine learning to design nano-architected materials that have the strength of carbon steel but the lightness of Styrofoam.
Proteins, the pillars of cellular function, often assemble into "complexes" to fulfill their functions. A study by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Weizmann Institute, in collaboration with the Technion, reveals why ...
Researchers from Kyushu University, Japan have revealed how a special type of force within an atom's nucleus, known as the three-nucleon force, impacts nuclear stability. The study, published in Physics Letters B, provides ...
Alcohol sales spike after a public mass shooting, according to a study published in PNAS Nexus. The increase in alcohol consumption could further increase firearm-related violence in affected communities.
In the quest to take the "forever" out of "forever chemicals," bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them, but certain microbes can actually ...
