An international team of virologists, mammalian ecologists and zoologists has uncovered the evolutionary origins of the hepatitis E virus. In their study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, ...
Among the many things global warming will be melting this century—sea ice, land glaciers and tourist businesses in seaside towns across the world—is permafrost. Lying underneath 15% of the northern hemisphere, permafrost ...
University of Pittsburgh researchers have identified evidence of H5N1 adaptation in domestic cats. Work centered on a rural outbreak in South Dakota, where multiple cats died after showing neurological and respiratory symptoms.
A team of bioengineers from the Biohub at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has created a simulation to mimic the way the influenza A virus moves through host tissue, presenting a ...
Chondritic meteorites (chondrites) are some of the oldest rocks in our solar system, forming 4.5 billion years ago. Therefore, their primitive composition means that they offer a window into the origins of planet formation, ...
Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have observed a dusty star-forming galaxy known as SPT 0538−50. Results of the observational campaign, presented Dec. 4 on the arXiv pre-print server, ...
The reliable control of traveling waves emerging from the coupling of oscillations and diffusion in physical, chemical and biological systems is a long-standing challenge within the physics community. Effective approaches ...
An international team of marine biologists, oceanographers and cetacean specialists has found evidence of a male humpback whale traveling a record-breaking distance, likely in order to breed. In their study published in the ...
A mathematician at Yonsei University, in Korea, claims to have solved the moving sofa problem. Jineon Baek has posted a 100+-page proof of the problem on the arXiv preprint server.
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected a new exoplanet orbiting a distant star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-4994 b, is warm and slightly smaller ...
