Algorithms can predict what movies or songs you might like, but they can also predict which species a predator would most likely eat.
New Material Could Hold Key to Reducing Energy Consumption in Computers and Electronics
A University of Minnesota Twin Cities team has, for the first time, synthesized a thin film of a unique topological semimetal material that has the potential to generate more computing power and memory storage while using significantly less energy.
Study: The Ocean’s Color Is Changing as a Consequence of Climate Change
The ocean’s color has changed significantly over the last 20 years, and the global trend is likely a consequence of human-induced climate change, report scientists at MIT, the National Oceanography Center in the U.K., and elsewhere.
Salinity Changes Threatening Marine Ecosystems, New UNF Study Shows
A groundbreaking study published today reveals the critical yet severely understudied factor of salinity changes in oceans and coastlines caused by climate change.
New Radar Technique Lets Scientists Probe Invisible Ice Sheet Region on Earth and Icy Worlds
Scientists at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) have developed a radar technique that lets them image hidden features within the upper few feet of ice sheets.
Warmer Ocean Temperatures Increase Risk of Salmon Bycatch in Pacific Hake Fishery
Rates of Chinook salmon bycatch in the Pacific hake fishery rise during years when ocean temperatures are warmer, a signal that climate change and increased frequency of marine heatwaves could lead to higher bycatch rates, new research indicates.
June Marked by Record-Setting U.S. Heat Waves, Severe Weather
June 2023 was record hot for some parts of the U.S., while other locations were roiled by severe weather and poor air quality, according to experts from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.
New Study is First to Find Exposure to Neurotoxic Rodenticide Bromethalin in Birds of Prey
In 2020, Tufts Wildlife Clinic Director Maureen Murray, V03, published a study that showed 100% of red-tailed hawks tested at the clinic were positive for exposure to anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs).
Global Cooling Caused Diversity of Species in Orchids, Confirms Study
Research led by the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath looking at the evolution of terrestrial orchid species has found that global cooling of the climate appears to be the major driving factor in their diversity.
Working to Make Steel Greener, Cleaner
