A new study finds that the young scientists who most embrace interdisciplinary research face “career impediments” not seen in their peers who focus their work only within their own disciplines.
The world’s fastest supercomputer helped researchers simulate synthesizing a material harder and tougher than a diamond — or any other substance on Earth.The study used Frontier, the HPE Cray EX supercomputing system at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, to predict the likeliest strategy to synthesize such a material, thought to exist only within the interiors of giant exoplanets, or planets beyond our solar system – at least so far.
The Department of Commerce and NOAA has announced $27 million in funding for projects to prevent and remove marine debris in coastal and Great Lakes communities as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have developed a self-powered “bug” that can skim across the water, and they hope it will revolutionize aquatic robotics.
A large trial of strategies to reduce distracted driving showed that those that were “gamified” yielded a lasting reduction in handheld phone usage while driving
Three recent papers authored by Ted Schuur, Regents’ professor of biological sciences at Northern Arizona University, organized through the Permafrost Carbon Network, investigate the biological processes taking place in the warming Arctic tundra and provide insight into what we can expect from that region as the climate continues to change.
Research conducted by Daniel Hungerman, a professor of economics at the University of Notre Dame, found that removing tax-based incentives for charitable giving caused one in five households to stop itemizing their taxes, creating a loss of nearly $20 billion annually for the nonprofit sector.
The economic impact of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome increased 80% between 2010 and 2020, costing the pork industry more than $1 billion per year in lost production, according to a new study. Researchers say improved biosecurity is essential to reversing the mounting losses.
New research from the University of Washington shows Elon Musk’s projection for the latest Neuralink project rests on the flawed premise that implanting millions of tiny electrodes into the visual cortex, the region of the brain that processes information received from the eye, will result in high-resolution vision.
The American Medical Association recently passed a resolution to encourage education for physicians on spiritual health. Healthcare industry leaders believe integrating spirituality into healthcare... ...
