Science, engineering, and discovery — the research and breakthroughs that matter.

For many business leaders, digitalization is associated with promises of greater efficiency and productivity. However, a new study by professor of accounting Jukka Sihvonen from the University of Vaasa, Finland, suggests that increasing digitalization may also raise a company's r

The Southern Ocean may seem far removed from the North Pacific or the Gulf of Maine, but its waters are linked to all the world's major ocean basins through a vast circulation system.

Finding a signal from an extraterrestrial civilization takes more than just pointing a telescope in the right direction. We may also need to listen at exactly the right time.

Veterinarians often have limited access to one of the most effective tools for controlling life-threatening bleeding complications in dogs: platelets.

A research team led by professors Xu Guowang and Liu Xinyu from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with researchers from Dalian University of Technology, has developed a high-coverage lipidomics workflow and

Rising sea levels might seem like someone else's problem if you live inland. But even miles from the coast, changing sea levels can affect the food we eat, the goods we buy, the energy we use and the taxes we pay.

Should an area be fenced off, should animals be sterilized or relocated—or, as a last resort, selectively culled? As the long-running controversy over white-tailed deer in the Montreal suburb of Longueuil's Michel-Chartrand Park has shown, managing wildlife in peri-urban parks is

Tree planting provides wood, biomass and climate benefits, but the location where those new forests are established matters. An international study by researchers in Spain, Chile and Finland shows that converting nonforested land into planted forests can increase wildfire activit

Stanford engineers and colleagues designed a chip that can take a muddled mixture of light from multiple lasers and output clean beams of light. It's the first time researchers have demonstrated a device that can take in mixed, or partially coherent, light and sort its photons in

A survey of 50,000 people across 92 countries finds global mental health may be languishing, including in the wealthiest countries, and especially among young people, who in previous generations had comparatively higher levels of mental health.

Monarch butterflies get tiny trackers to help scientists follow their mysterious migration and more — today's news signal.

As a child, Rebeca Quiñonez-Piñón wondered where monarch butterflies stop for a meal and a night's rest on their long migrations across North America. Now she and other scientists are attaching tiny tracking devices to hundreds of butterflies to find those critical stopover locat

Eighty-eight years after pioneering British archaeologist Starkey was shot dead while traveling from the ancient city of Lachish to Jerusalem, researchers say they have uncovered compelling new evidence explaining who was behind his murder—and why he was targeted.

When is the best time to apply nitrogen? What plant response was there to fertilizer or any number of other treatments? There is a general answer to those questions now, but what if plant breeders and agronomists could download data from continuously monitored cornstalks and ears

College undergraduates are anxious about climate change, with many feeling powerless and frustrated about Earth's future, yet resources to help students cope are in short supply, according to new interdisciplinary University of Utah research. The sentiment isn't limited to studen

Around one in 15 adults has experienced AI-generated image-based abuse, according to a new study. The general-population survey of more than 7,200 adults in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia found 7% had experienced at least one form of AI-generated image-based

Want more engagement on social media? Stop repeating yourself. Just don't change who you are in the process. That's according to new Case Western Reserve University research suggesting that public figures can increase engagement by varying their topics and wording while "maintain

Scientists from Skoltech, together with colleagues from the Kharkevich Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lomonosov Moscow State University and other organizations, conducted a comparative study of the 3D genome organization in neu

Scientists generate vast amounts of research data, but connecting information across studies can be difficult. The NIH Common Fund Data Ecosystem is working to change that by making research data sets from 18 NIH programs easier to find, connect and analyze.

For many business leaders, digitalization is associated with promises of greater efficiency and productivity. However, a new study by professor of accounting Jukka Sihvonen from the University of Vaasa, Finland, suggests that increasing digitalization may also raise a company's r

Researchers at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) are studying the relationship between the genetics of Nelore cattle and the microorganisms in their guts (microbiota). Nelore cattle are the most widely raised beef breed in Brazil. The goal is to develop st

Climate observers have long tied the strength of a major ocean current to water temperatures in the so-called "cold blob" in the North Atlantic Ocean. The 965,000-square-mile (2.5 million square kilometers) area south and southeast of Greenland cooled by as much as 1.8 degrees Fa

Our noses are home to many different species of bacteria living side by side. One of them may be S. aureus. Many people carry this bacterium without knowing it, although it can cause serious infections. Why S. aureus colonizes some people persistently but not others remains only

A study led by researchers from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) and the Blood and Tissue Bank (BST) has developed and validated a manufacturing platform for extracellular vesicles that meets pharmaceutical quality requirements, marking a key step toward their
