After nearly four decades, the world’s longest-running soil warming experiment is revealing a surprising result: even “stable” carbon in forest soils can break down as temperatures rise, releasing more CO₂ into the atmosphere. The findings […]
Understanding how people use the spaces they inhabit—where they live, work, and gather—is key to effective urban planning that meets their needs. For example, knowing which routes are most commonly used to travel from residential […]
Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption. Materials physics shows that this is possible; the same semiconductor material can, in principle, […]
Regulators often move in and out of revolving doors between government and the industries they oversee. They can bring valuable expertise. But their ties also can raise questions about whose interests their knowledge ultimately serves. […]
To reliably complete various manual tasks, robots should be able to handle a variety of objects, ranging from items found in households to tools used in specific professional settings. While many existing robotic systems can […]
A longstanding challenge in materials engineering has been how to extend the fatigue life of critical nickel-based superalloy structures (e.g., Inconel 718) that contain holes. These hole structures, commonly used for bolts and fasteners in […]
Workplace hearing loss is one of the most common work-related illnesses. While hearing loss is preventable with earplugs, they can be uncomfortable, and users often remove them despite the risks. Low-frequency sounds, such as rumbling […]
Even though he wanted to bike commute from his Capitol Hill home to the University of Washington, Jared Hwang often took transit because he struggled to find a good bike route. Apps like Google Maps […]
Cyclists can feel safe at the very moment they are most at risk, according to new Monash research that could reshape how cities design shared streets. The study, published in Accident Analysis & Prevention, found […]
As female leaders continue to face heightened scrutiny in politics and public life, new research from Monash University reveals female candidates face distinct constraints in how they communicate with voters. The study is published in […]
