A team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), presents new details of an oceanic transform fault at the Gofar fault in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The NSF funded work reveals unexpected brine deposits beneath the seafloor near the fault, which could change the way we conceptualize oceanic transform faults.
University of Rhode Island animal science and technology majors are working on conservation efforts for the imperiled New England cottontail rabbit, considered a vulnerable species in the region because of their decreasing population. The students are helping efforts at Providence鈥檚 Roger Williams Park Zoo.
A new autonomous drone system could provide ecologists with deeper insights into animal behavior in the wild, a study suggests.
The sigma meson exists only for a fleeting moment before decaying into a pair of pions, making it hard to study. Nuclear physicists recently combined modern supercomputer calculations with more traditional theoretical tools to study the sigma meson, producing the first accurate theoretical view of the sigma as a system of quarks and gluons. This will aid in understanding the role the sigma meson plays in proton-neutron interactions and other phenomena.
The April 2025 issue of FASEB BioAdvances delves into the effects of global warming on obesity, innovative treatments for hypertension and kidney injury, gene recombination in neural tissues, and the future of precision medicine through AI and biomedical informatics.
The latest research advances from Cedars-Sinai investigators.
Robots have long captured our collective imaginations. In today鈥檚 world robotics are an essential driver behind next-generation products, medical innovations, educational advances and more. Case Western Reserve University innovations are leading the way.
Robert Barrack, MD, the Charles F. and Joanne Knight Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at WashU Medicine, led a long-term study that showed that patients who received a Birmingham hip resurfacing procedure maintained a higher level of athletic activity years after their surgery than those who received a total hip replacement.
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have found that tapping into the body鈥檚 own immune system and activating a type of immune cell known as B cells, could be the key to boosting the effectiveness of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte, or TIL therapy. Results of their study were published in the Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer.
