Monsters slither throughout the crooked mangroves and serrated sawgrass of Florida's Everglades, 20 feet long and up to 200 pounds of sinewy muscle built by devouring everything in their path.

In human medicine, the ability to measure frailty is a vital aspect of geriatric care. Doctors may recommend one treatment over another based on an elderly person's frailty score, and nursing homes may adjust care protocols as frailty increases.

The key to solving the Libyan political conflict lies within the country rather than with the international community, analysis says.

A striking image made with the James Webb Space Telescope reveals intricate details of Herbig-Hario 211 (HH 211), the gaseous outflow surrounding a very young star in its earliest stages. The object is about 1,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Perseus. The image shows a gaseous outflow from a young sun that isContinue reading "Webb captures an infant star’s outflow " The post...

At a time when politics and science are at odds with the truth, conspiracy theories are on the rise and misinformation is rampant, Rutgers researchers say facts do matter and explain why beliefs are more rational than they might seem.

In movies, when we see fiery car crashes or flaming planes on runways, we know they are not real. But in the real world, fuel fires must be quenched with special kinds of chemicals, and the ones that have been most commonly used are known as aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs). However, environmental and health concerns about AFFFs have launched widespread efforts to detect, monitor and eventually...

There is little evidence that counter-terrorism training for staff in crowded places in Britain is effective with the current approach seeming to be "quantity over quality," a new study finds.

Researchers have developed a new method for making tiny stretchable antennas from a hydrogel and liquid metal. The antennas could be used in wearable and flexible wireless electronic devices to provide a link between the device and external systems for power delivery, data processing and communication.

A Kiel research team has used a near-natural compost mesocosm experiment to demonstrate that worm hosts and the associated microorganisms jointly mediate adaptation to a novel environment

Massachusetts will no longer buy single-use plastic products, the governor announced to start the week.

The risk of incarceration for Black men in the United States was cut nearly in half between 1999 and 2019, according to a new study that assesses the impact of falling rates of imprisonment in each of the 50 states.

As our climate rapidly changes, greater numbers of trees are dying from diseases like oak wilt. Oak wilt is a fungus that moves through the vascular system of oak trees causing rapid mortality. The disease can be stopped if foresters know where the disease outbreaks occur before they spread.

Standardized and overly simplistic questionnaires are only scratching the surface of what employees think of their leaders, according to new research from Binghamton University's School of Management (SOM), and negative behavior may be slipping through the cracks.

Adding more natural areas across our towns and cities could cool them by up to 6°C during heat waves, according to new research from the University of Surrey's Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE).

Scientists in China have fabricated a high-strength elastomer with self-healing properties. The polymer has significant potential in the field of flexible electronic devices.

The newly upgraded Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory successfully produced its first X-rays, and researchers around the world are already lined up to kick off an ambitious science program.

Many pathogens, including the virus that causes COVID-19, are thought to have originated in wild animals before spilling into human populations.

Polarimetric imaging can uncover features invisible to human eyes and conventional imaging sensors, and it is becoming an ever more essential technique in modern society. Conventional polarimetric imaging systems require complex optical components and moving parts, making system miniaturization difficult.

More than 200 years later, historians are still gleaning some unexpected insights from the French Revolution—not about tyranny or liberty—but rather, inflation.

Researchers and businesses are increasingly drawn to alternative protein sources as they grapple with the challenge of meeting the growing global demand for protein. Among the unconventional sources, microorganisms stand out for their remarkable protein content.

A research group has synthesized a 2D copper-based complex and expanded it into a 3D structure by adding H4SiW12O40 and rare earth metal. Through this synthesis method the team obtained three isostructural 3d−4f metal-incorporated POMs.

β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA), a non-protein amino acid initially discovered in Cycas in 1967, has gained attention for its potential association with neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
