Researchers from the University of Utah and University of California set out to compare how freeway emissions trends differed in their statesâ largest metropolitan areas, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.
The more powerful they get, traditional curved lenses used in telescopes become bigger and bulkier. University of Utah engineers have created the first flat telescope lens that can capture color while detecting light from faraway stars.
A robotic device developed by University of Utah engineers allows eye surgeons to perform high-precision procedures on the retina, the fragile lining on the back of the eye that is less than a millimeter thick.
New research from USC and University of Utah suggests the surface of âlibratingâ inner core is deformed from contact with turbulent liquid outer core.
Mass deportation of undocumented immigrants has been touted by the incoming Trump administration as a way to increase jobs for U.S. citizens and reduce housing costs. But a new study by University of Utah business scholar concludes such a policy would likely backfire because it would drain the construction workforce, significantly slowing an already sluggish rate of new residential construction.
University of Utah atmospheric scientists show proposed "geoengineering" effort to remove methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere could worse air quality while providing minimal climate benefits.
A first-of-its-kind study found subtle, but distinct vowel pronunciations in Pacific Islanders attending more diverse schools in Utah compared to students in a predominately white high school, confirming the theory that groups to differentiate along ethnic lines where more groups share the same social space.
Pioneering researchers of self-generated spin torques have discovered a new one, anomalous Hall torque, that completes a triad of torques likely present in all conductive spintronic materials. Dubbed the Universal Hall Torques, the triad have unique spin behavior favorable to cutting-edge technologies, like human brain-inspired computing that processes massive amounts of data with much greater efficiency.
As creosote spread across the American Southwest 20,000 years ago, natural selection favored changes that led to duplicating genes that produce an abundance of detox enzymes. Gene duplication is likely the first step that enables animals to rapidly adapt to new environmental pressure, a notion challenging conventional wisdom.
Coyote numbers are often higher in areas where they are hunted, according to new research from University of Utah. These counterintuitive findings are based on images from hundreds of trap cameras deployed in nationwide campaign to document wildlife.
Using Census data, University of Utah researchers untangle interplay between urban development patterns and socioeconomic outcomes, revealing non-affluent people who grow up in high-sprawl neighborhoods has less earning potential that those who grow up in denser, more walkable areas.
Meta-analysis of past studies by University of Utah researchers calculates reduced risk of certain cancers for coffee and tea drinkers.
University of Utah economists looked at test scores and school attendance for Chicago-area kids before and after a bug infestation wiped out the city's ash trees. Education outcomes for low-income students went down, highlighting how the impacts of ecosystem degradation are disproportionately felt by disadvantaged communities.
Ozone pollution is getting worse as the climate warms. Now interdisciplinary research from the University of Utah documents compelling link between prenatal exposures on Utah's Wasatch Front and increased risk of intellectual disability.
University of Utah chemists discover how bicarbonate can protect cells from oxidative stress in a study that challenges how cell damage has been studied for decades.
Analysis of 216 extinct species by University of Utah biologists found birds endemic to islands, ccupied ecologically specific niche, lacking flight, with large bodies and sharply angled wings were the ones likely to disappear the soonest after 1500.
Fossils recovered from Utah's West Desert and held in the Natural History Museum of Utah offer new insights into the origins of vertebrate life during the Cambrian Period.
Adolescents in regions with fewer abortion restrictions and those who had an abortion were more likely to have graduated from college, earn higher incomes and have greater financial stability at two time-points over an almost 25-year period. Girls who became teen moms, conversely, were more likely to experience eviction, debt and food insecurity.
How do you electrify a populous cityâs transit without destabilizing its grid? New research into Beijingâs 27,000-bus system explores using depots to generate a solar power.
A Stanford-led study of 25 video interventions points to solutions for reducing polarization, anti-democratic attitudes and support for political violence. Two treatments submitted by University of Utah scholars showed most promise addressing all three of these divisive outcomes.
