University of Toronto researchers have uncovered how bacterial viruses protect their progeny in order to maximize their reach. The phenomenon, described in a study published in Nature, relies on viral proteins to fine-tune ...
The brains of politically extreme individuals, whether left- or right-leaning, appear to respond to and process political information in surprisingly similar ways, according to research published in the Journal of Personality ...
High-performing employees are more likely to leave organizations whose evaluation systems strictly cap the number of employees recognized as "the best," Cornell research finds.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have unveiled Rainbow, a first-of-its-kind multi-robot self-driving laboratory that autonomously discovers high-performance quantum dots—semiconductor nanoparticles critical ...
Something silent and sinister is happening in Australia's mountain ash forests. As temperatures rise, these ecosystems are slowly, steadily losing their trees—and with them, their ability to store carbon.
Psychologists have long considered how a tendency towards irrational thinking or particular personality traits might predict people's interest in conspiracies. Yet these individual factors do not explain the group processes ...
Researchers at Tohoku University have created a new catalyst that can partly renew itself while working, opening possibilities for more durable materials in energy and chemical applications. The catalyst is designed for the ...
In the past, scientists believed that the fast-acting biochemistry of genes and proteins was responsible for directing the forces that shape developing organs. But a new study from Syracuse University shows that steady, powerful ...
The first time I saw the Ada Tree, I felt tiny. It was October 2015, just days after arriving in Victoria to study mountain ash forests. During a visit to the Central Highlands, we went to see the Ada Tree—one of the largest ...
Heat-stressed Victorian mountain ash forests are thinning fast, turning from carbon sinks to carbon sources, new research reveals.
