Dr. Michelle LaRue, an associate professor at the University of Canterbury, is revolutionizing wildlife ecology by using high-resolution satellite imagery to study emperor penguins from space.
A Mexican delegation is coming to retrieve 84 Mesoamerican axes currently in transit at UdeM, underscoring the need to raise public awareness of the looting of archaeological artifacts.
Dr. Jacqueline Gottlieb from Columbia University shares groundbreaking insights into the science of curiosity. Known for her research on cognition and decision-making, Dr. Gottlieb explains that curiosity isn鈥檛 just about learning鈥攊t鈥檚 a complex process where our brains assess uncertainty and prioritize valuable information
Plants widen microscopic pores on their leaves in response to heat. But scientists lacked an understanding of the mechanisms behind this 鈥渟weating鈥� function. Now, biologists have unlocked the details behind these processes and identified two paths that plants use to handle rising temperatures.
David Nagib, an organic chemist and a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at The Ohio State University, has been selected as a finalist for the 2024 Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists.
Inspired by the dynamic color-changing properties of squid skin, researchers have developed a method to manufacture a heat-adjusting material that is breathable and washable and can be integrated into flexible fabric. The composite material operates in the infrared spectrum and consists of a polymer covered with copper islands.
Dr. Dave Rackstraw, a senior scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is transforming science education using smartphones.
Dr. Robert Ferl, a molecular biologist and professor at the University of Florida, discusses his work on understanding how organisms, particularly plants, adapt to extreme environments, including space. He highlights his recent spaceflight aboard Blue Origin鈥檚 New Shepard, where he conducted experiments to study the effects of space travel on plants.
The spectacular entry of a meteorite into Earth鈥檚 atmosphere over South Africa鈥檚 Eastern Cape Province on Sunday 25 August has unleashed a chain of events that would not be out of place in a Hollywood movie script.
A multi-institutional team of researchers developed a stand-alone box model to predict aqueous and cloud chemistry of biomass-burning phenols based on laboratory measurements.
Algunos libros de la 茅poca victoriana fueron te帽idos con pigmentos t贸xicos. Las 煤ltimas investigaciones sobre estos 鈥渓ibros venenosos鈥� utilizaron una t茅cnica no aplicada previamente a los libros para evaluar una colecci贸n universitaria, y los investigadores descubrieron que algunos vol煤menes ten铆an posiblemente niveles inseguros. Presentar谩n sus resultados en la ACS Fall 2024.
Dr. Carl Lipo from Binghamton University studied Easter Island (Rapa Nui), where he has conducted extensive research on the famous moai statues and the island鈥檚 history.
Thanks to sensor technology and mathematical modeling, smart dummies provide new insights into how workplaces can be brought to a comfortable temperature in an energy-efficient way and how to prevent patients from getting cold feet in the operating theater.
A southern pudu fawn, one of the smallest deer species in the world, is debuting at the Queens Zoo. Born on June 21at about 2 pounds, the fawn shares a habitat with its parents at the Queens Zoo鈥檚 Wild Side. The species, when fully grown, can weigh up to 15 to 20 pounds and stand 14-17 inches tall.
Benjamin Manard, an analytical chemist at the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will receive the 2024 Lester W. Strock Award from the Society of Applied Spectroscopy.
An international research team led by the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science (CeMESS) at the University of Vienna has discovered that comammox bacteria, first identified by them in 2015, can grow using guanidine, a nitrogen-rich organic compound, as their sole energy and nitrogen source.
Christopher Topp, PhD, Member and Principal Investigator of the Danforth Plant Science Center and his lab members Marcus Griffiths, PhD and Kong Wong, PhD, have teamed up with colleagues at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Kaiyu Guan, PhD, Bin Peng, PhD, and Sheng Wang, PhD, to explore the impact of cover crops on soil health and corn production to improve agriculture sustainability.

A study published in ACS鈥� Environmental Science & Technology estimates that soil stores substantially more mercury than previously thought, and it predicts that increases in plant growth due to climate change may add even more.
Beach-loving environmental researchers wondered how a highly active hurricane season impacts beaches along the coast.
Afin d'intensifier les efforts de protection des lions d'Afrique centrale, une 茅quipe d鈥櫭ヽo-gardes et de biologistes camerounais du minist猫re des For锚ts et de la Faune (MINFOF) et de la Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) a pos茅 des colliers GPS sur sept des grands f茅lins du parc national de Bouba Ndjidda, ce qui porte 脿 dix le nombre de lions munis d'un collier.
