What do wooden casks tell us about trade and everyday life between 1300 and 1800? Ph.D. candidate Jeroen Oosterbaan studied ...

Migratory birds such as the pied flycatcher typically have wintering locations in Africa close to others from the same breeding population. That means that birds breeding in the Netherlands run into ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), in collaboration with researchers ...

For nearly 50 years, scientists have suspected that microscopic marine plankton play a role in cloud formation over the oceans. Now, an experiment led by the University of Helsinki suggests that it ...

In an international experiment, researchers observed Jahn–Teller polarons—quasiparticles that could play an important role in future ultrafast spintronic devices. These polarons emerged within the ...

Chiral 2D metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are among the most promising materials for future technologies that exploit the ...

Forests and land play an important role in absorbing carbon dioxide emissions, but current models and forecasts don't ...

For decades, stories about the ancient Mediterranean have centered on the grand cultures of Greece, Rome, Phoenicia and Egypt ...

After a heat wave, we crave relief, not more extreme weather. But increasingly, we have to contend with a succession of ...

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behavior emerges from the materials themselves, ...

Nearly every massive galaxy observed hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that some of these supermassive black holes may even be too big for ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed an ultrasensitive immunoassay-based analytical platform that can detect and quantify trace amounts of "Small Excised Damaged DNA ...
