A new study has found that birds that are more social are more likely to use novel sources of food.
Virginia Tech has hired Megan Duffy of Marquette to replace Kenny Brooks as its women's basketball coach.
A team planting a community garden got more than they bargained for after stumbling on the historic remains.
Researchers show that using magnetic fields can boost electrocatalysis for sustainable fuel production by enhancing the movement of the reactants, which improves the efficiency of energy-related reactions.

A $62 million project to dredge Puerto Rico’s biggest and most important seaport has started amid fierce opposition from environmentalists and a pending lawsuit. Crews will remove nearly 3 million cubic yards of marine floor to open the San Juan Bay to larger vessels including tankers that will serve a new liquid natural gas terminal. Officials say the dredged material will be deposited into the Atlantic Ocean two nautical miles north of the island in a move approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Читать дальше...
Parts of the central U.S. were left bereft of critical climate warnings after the National Weather Service suffered a five-hour network outage.
To better understand COVID-19's spread during the pandemic, public health officials expanded wastewater surveillance. These efforts track SARS-CoV-2 levels and health risks among most people, but they miss people who live without shelter, a population particularly vulnerable to severe infection. To fill this information gap, researchers tested flood-control waterways near unsheltered encampments, finding similar transmission patterns as in the broader community and identifying previously unseen viral mutations.
Until now, groundwater -- a critical water resource around the globe, especially in dry regions -- has been largely unstudied in its importance and role in sustaining ecosystems. New groundbreaking research examines the relationship between groundwater and ecosystems across California.
A new study finds that universities scoring strongly on measures of sustainability are associated with innovation and economic growth in their surrounding communities. However, the study did not find similar connections between university sustainability performance and environmental sustainability in their home communities.
Nets legend Vince Carter is receiving the highest honor his sport has to offer.
Researchers have developed a programmable meta-fluid with tunable springiness, optical properties, viscosity and even the ability to transition between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid. The first-of-its-kind meta-fluid uses a suspension of small, elastomer spheres -- between 50 to 500 microns -- that buckle under pressure, radically changing the characteristics of the fluid. The meta-fluid could be used in everything from hydraulic actuators to program robots, to intelligent shock absorbers that... Читать дальше...
Police have appealed for help in finding a wanted man from Wolverhampton.
A genomic study of human and selected nonhuman primate centromeres has revealed their unimaginable diversity and speed of evolutionary change. Although centromeres are vital to proper cell replication by assuring faithful transmision of genetic materials when cells divide, the complexity of their genomic organization had been almost impossible to study. The lack of centromere sequences hindered exploration of how these regions help maintain genetic integrity. Now, advanced technologies have shown... Читать дальше...
Rigid and centralized decision-making practices might be harming how highly conscientious employees—those who are diligent, productive, and ethically inclined—are perceived by others, according to new research by The University of Western Australia.
