The ESCAPE mission will study the evolution of exoplanet atmospheres
The habitable zone concept is useful for understanding which worlds might, possibly, maybe, be habitable.
Reading daily ocean temperatures from red algae
Understanding how marine ecosystems respond to a warming ocean requires detailed records of past temperatures.
The proton is more quantum than we thought
Our understanding of the internal structure of protons is largely based on classical physics, but data compiled from accelerator experiments has uncovered quantum behaviour that has never been seen before.
Researchers develop new framework for understanding how emotions shape behavior online
Every day, billions of people scroll through social media posts, online reviews and news feeds filled with emotional content—from glowing five-star reviews to rage-inducing social media rants. Those emotions can quietly shape what people buy, what they believe and how they act.
Over 100 South American lakes could become climate-change early-warning observatories
More than 100 shallow lakes stretching over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) along the Atlantic coast of southern Brazil and Uruguay could become one of the world's most important natural laboratories for understanding how climate change and human activities reshape freshwater ecosys
New research offers managers a framework for understanding who wins in AI ecosystems and w
An article published in the Strategic Management Journal, "Value Creation in Innovation Ecosystems," by Ron Adner and Rahul Kapoor, offers a framework for understanding competitive advantage in today's rapidly evolving AI landscape. While debates about AI often focus on models, p
Milky Way-like simulation reveals how central galactic structures grow together
Understanding the formation and evolution of the centers of galaxies is one of the most intriguing challenges in astrophysics. The new study aims to unveil the physical processes that led to the formation of two striking features surrounding the black holes at the centers of most
From growth to function: Gene helps human heart cells decide when to mature
Understanding how heart muscle cells stop dividing and acquire the characteristics needed to sustain lifelong cardiac function remains one of the greatest challenges in cardiovascular biology. Leveraging human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology, a team led by Associat
How digital interferences shape parent-child time
New research is giving children a voice in understanding how technological interruptions affect parent-child relationships. A paper, "Distracted, Interrupted, or Disrupted: A Pathway Model of Technoference," led by Associate Professor Cara Swit from Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | U
Fossils from Wyoming's Smiley Draw deepen understanding of early primate evolution
A new study from the University of Kansas complicates the picture of primates living in North America some 55 million years ago during the Eocene, a warm period that allowed mammals to diversify quickly.
Could understanding leaf surfaces lead to new ways to prevent crop disease?
Fungal diseases that affect grain crops can be devastating to global agriculture and food security. Fungicides are the most common preventive measure, but as fungal diseases become more prevalent, the pathogens become increasingly resilient.
