Exercise answer: Research shows it’s how often you do it, not how much
New research indicates a little bit of daily activity is more beneficial than longer periods of exercise spread out across the week -- and...
Study evaluates biodiversity impacts of alternative energy strategies
Climate change mitigation efforts have led to shifts from fossil-fuel dependence to large-scale renewable energy. However, renewable energy sources require significant land and could...
Researchers discover how to stick sensors to skin without adhesive
Imagine if you could attach something to your skin without needing glue. A biosensor, a watch, a communications device, a fashion accessory -- the...
Study suggests one-third of wild bee species in Pa. have declined in abundance
Over a six-year period in southcentral Pennsylvania, measures of biodiversity among wild bee communities declined and one-third of species experienced decreases in abundance, according...
Coronaviruses evolve to recognize glycans of their host species
Researchers have characterized the binding of proteins from several animal and human coronaviruses to glycans called sialic acids, revealing host-specific patterns of binding.
Genome sequenced for pesky pumpkin pathogen
Pumpkin growers dread the tiny tan scabs that form on their fruit, each lesion a telltale sign of bacterial spot disease. The specks don't...
A new dimension in magnetism and superconductivity launched
An international team of scientists has launched a new paradigm in magnetism and superconductivity, putting effects of curvature, topology, and 3D geometry into the...
Early indicators of magma viscosity could help forecast a volcano’s eruption style
The properties of the magma inside a volcano affect how an eruption will play out. In particular, the viscosity of this molten rock is...
Telescope detects unprecedented behavior from nearby magnetar
Captured by cutting-edge radio telescope technology, a chance reactivation of a magnetar -- the Universe's most powerful magnets -- has revealed an unexpectedly complex...
New polymer materials make fabricating optical interconnects easier
Researchers have developed new polymer materials that are ideal for making the optical links necessary to connect chip-based photonic components with board-level circuits or...
