Scientists report that underwater noise pollution — from both large and small vessels — forces northern and southern resident orcas to expend more time and energy hunting for fish. The din also lowers the overall success of their hunting efforts. Noise from ships likely has an outsized impact on southern resident orca pods, which spend more time in areas with high ship traffic.
Young athletes face an array of nutritional risks that could hamper their performance, recovery from injury, and overall wellness, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Scottish Rite for Children found.
The following is a list of Washington University in St. Louis faculty experts who can discuss a variety of topics related to the election, politics and national and local issues.For assistance, contact Sara Savat at 314-935-9615 or [email protected] Butler, professor of political science, Arts & Sciencesdaniel.
As prescription oral chemotherapies have become a common form of cancer treatment, some patients were paying more than $10,000 a year for medications. A new study finds that efforts to cap prescription drug spending are yielding significant out-of-pocket savings for these patients.
A report released today by the Center for State Policy Analysis (cSPA) at Tufts University's Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life analyzes the risks and potential of Massachusetts Ballot Question 3, which would clear a path to unionization for rideshare drivers using an approach that’s largely untested in the United States.
NYU Tandon School of Engineering is spearheading a novel initiative aimed at expanding access to semiconductor design education, supporting key objectives of the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act and bolstering NYU's growing prominence in chip design.
Argonne’s entrepreneurship program embeds early-stage startup founders for two years at the lab. They are mentored by a lab scientist. In addition, the program also provides support at the local, regional and national levels including entrepreneurship training and a networking ecosystem to eliminate the hurdles traditionally faced by early-stage cleantech startups.
Appalachian State University has chosen Figshare as its new institutional repository platform to share, showcase and manage its research outputs.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Research Highlights provides a glimpse into recent basic, translational and clinical cancer research from MD Anderson experts.
Professor Juejun Hu was admitted by Tsinghua University as top scorer in the science college entrance examination of Fujian Province.
A real-time adaptive optics system was developed, characterised and applied to measure the 3D flow field through an oscillating surface of a water drop on an opaque Gas Diffusion Layer. A case study shows that the system corrects successfully measurement errors of the flow field that are caused by the refraction of light at the time-varying water-air interface.
Violent blows or jolts to the head can cause traumatic brain injury (TBI), and there are currently about five million people in the U.S. living with chronic neurodegeneration and related impairments due to TBI.
Giulia Galli has been awarded the prestigious Hirschfelder Prize in Theoretical Chemistry. She is being recognized for her groundbreaking work in developing computational methods to predict and design material properties.
The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) announced that they have experimentally verified that KSTAR's superconducting magnets maintain maximum performance even after 16 years of continuous operation.
Mark Awad, MD, PhD, has been appointed Chief of the Thoracic Oncology Service within the Solid Tumor Oncology Division, Department of Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).
Girls exposed to certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be more likely to start puberty early, according to new research published in Endocrinology, the flagship basic science journal of the Endocrine Society. EDCs mimic, block or interfere with hormones in the body's endocrine system.
Historically, Lake Okeechobee was thought to be impaired only by phosphorus, focusing efforts on reducing agricultural runoff. However, new comprehensive sampling across the Lake Okeechobee Waterway and its connected estuaries shows that toxic algal blooms also are driven by rising nitrogen levels from human waste and urban runoff. Increased nitrogen, worsened by extreme rainfall, significantly fuels bloom severity. Findings underscore the need for integrated nutrient management and improved wastewater treatment to protect the lake and its estuaries.
A new facet engineering approach achieves controlled nanowire dimensions with high crystalline quality, enabling on-substrate vertical emitting lasing from ordered InGaAs/InP multi-quantum well nanowire arrays grown on InP substrates.
