Using drones, 17 distinct behaviors of narwhals were captured in the wild. Findings reveal complex behaviors of the Arctic’s iconic whale never seen before. This highly gregarious whale uses its tusk to investigate, manipulate and influence the behavior of a fish, the Arctic char. The study also provides the first evidence of play, specifically exploratory-object play, and the first reports of kleptoparasitism, a “food thief” situation, among narwhals and glaucous gulls.

A new fellowship at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is offering child neurologists a rare opportunity for advanced subspecialty training in neurodevelopmental disabilities. The Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (NDD) Fellowship at CHLA is one of just two newly launched programs in the nation. The 12-month program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Researchers call for regional and context-specific approaches to these extreme events
Early life undernutrition may be associated with lower induction or persistence of antibody responses to certain vaccines. Addressing child undernutrition may improve vaccine efficacy and reduce the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases.
An international team of researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a new method for analyzing actinides. The method provides unique insights into the electronic structures and bonding properties of these heavy, radioactive elements in the bottom row of the periodic table.
A new study has unveiled the potential of hydrogen-bonding crosslinked supramolecular polymer materials derived from N-acryloyl glycinamide (NAGA). These innovative materials exhibit exceptional mechanical strength, self-healing properties, and tunable functionalities, positioning them as versatile solutions for industries ranging from biomedical engineering to flexible electronics and energy storage.
During the first COVID-19 lockdown, researchers of the University of Vienna assessed the influence of stress, mood, and social interactions on "unhealthy" eating habits in nearly 800 participants across Austria, Italy, and Germany.
McMaster University researchers have identified small molecules in the blood that may impact early childhood development, showing how dietary exposures, early life experiences, and gut health can influence a child's growth and cognitive milestones.
Enabled by supercomputing, UP researchers have led an international team of astronomers that has provided deeper insight into the entire life cycle (birth, growth and death) of giant radio galaxies, which resemble “cosmic fountains” – jets of superheated gas that are ejected into near-empty space from their spinning supermassive black holes.
ISPOR—The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research announced its new Corporate Partnership Program that is designed to provide organizations with comprehensive, year-round engagement with the global health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) audience.
A research team led by Dr. Jeong Gon Son of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Professor Yongtaek Hong of Seoul National University has developed a nanostructure-aligned stretchable substrate that dramatically lowers the Poisson's ratio.
In a four-year EU project led by Empa, eleven collaborators from research and industry succeeded in significantly improving batteries for electric cars. One of the main objectives of the project was to scale up the new materials and technologies so that they can be brought to market as fast as possible.
Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) launched its 10th annual Make March Matter campaign Thursday. Actors and longtime CHLA supporters Chris Pine and Robert Pine joined the hospital at the kickoff event. Saving lives is everyone’s business, and the month-long fundraising drive empowers local businesses to rally community participation to raise $1 million or more in March to support children’s health in Los Angeles.
The Hertz Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering the nation’s most promising innovators in science and technology, has named Chris Loose as chair of its Fellowship and Programs Council and ex-officio member of the board of directors.
Electric vehicles are becoming more popular and are a growing segment of the nation’s automobile fleet. But public health researchers with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center are discovering elevated cancer risks for firefighters and community members alike from electric vehicle fires.
In an effort to bolster its research on next-generation mobility technologies that save lives, the University of Michigan is fusing its longstanding leadership in transportation safety with its distinct expertise in testing connected and automated vehicle technologies.
El carcinoma de células renales es la forma más común de cáncer de riñón. Se puede tomar un tiempo para procesar completamente un diagnóstico y comprender lo que realmente significa.
