Regenerative grazing study reveals trade-offs for sheep farmers

A new Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) study has found that while regenerative agriculture practices can improve soil ...

Female birds more likely to sing when their extended family helps with childcare

Most of us have heard the phrase "it takes a village" when it comes to childcare. This age-old saying holds true for some ...

Geneticists challenge common model of how cells retain their identity

One of the most widely accepted models for how cells remember their identity may be incorrect. This is shown in a new study ...

Age, disease, or both? A new perspective on paleopathological research

Nutrition, disease, accidents, physical activity and labor—many of the things that humans do or experience leave traces in our skeletons. Even thousands of years after death, these traces can provide ...

A pathway to achieve high well-being and a safe climate without relying on GDP growth

Governments' attempts to achieve climate goals are falling short, in large part because wealthy economies are continuing to pursue economic growth. As these economies ramp up production and ...

Quantum dots generate entangled photon pairs on demand

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated how quantum dots can be engineered to consistently generate pairs of entangled photons. By carefully tailoring the photonic environment ...

Physicists observe rare nuclear isomer in ytterbium-150 for first time

Nuclear isomers are crucial probes for studying the structure of nuclei. Unlike chemical isomers—which have the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms—nuclear isomers are nuclei ...

Safer space travel: Scientists create a cosmic ray simulator

Cosmic rays are one of the greatest challenges for space travel and pose a considerable risk to humans and materials. For the first time on European soil, an international research team in ...

Spatially decoupled catalyst sites boost CO₂-to-methanol yield threefold at 300°C

Efficient methanol synthesis is considered a promising approach for carbon resource recycling. Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol is thermodynamically favored at low temperatures, but ...

Galactic islands of tranquility: 'Little red dots' may have brewed life's building blocks

Astronomers have found that both the core of our Milky Way and the earliest proto-galaxies in the universe share a surprising ...

Fish stocks are on the line: Climate change impacts global fishing yields

As the saying goes, there are plenty more fish in the sea—but climate change is rapidly challenging that notion, with fish stocks around the world under threat. New modeling from Monash University ...

Cracking the code: How a 'prediction machine' is resurrecting the Singapore Stone

Several years ago, my linguistic research team and I began developing a computational tool we call "Read-y Grammarian." Our ...
