Why can't physicists decide if warp drives are real?

In the years since Miguel Alcubierre came up with a warp drive solution in 1994, you would occasionally see news headlines saying that warp drives can work. And then a few months later you'll see that they've been ruled out. ...

Family businesses are more sustainable, study finds

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), in collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU) and Universidad de Salamanca, has carried out scientific research that indicates that family businesses show more environmentally ...

Exploring the future of frozen water

As the world focuses on glacier preservation on UN World Water Day, researchers at the University of Waterloo are exploring the glaciers of the Yukon's St. Elias Mountains. These massive bodies of ice, part of the planet's ...

Improving GLP-1 drug delivery by 'painting' it on antibodies

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are peptide-based therapeutics for treating diabetes and for weight loss. Unfortunately, shortages and high costs have made it difficult for people to start and maintain treatment.

Restored stream sees return of wild salmon population

Almost everywhere in California, salmon are on the decline. But in Putah Creek—a restored stream running through the University of California, Davis, campus—wild salmon are not only increasing, they are also completing ...
