Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in collaboration with the Dexeus University Hospital have captured unparalleled images of a human embryo implanting. This is the first time that the process has been […]
In southwestern Kenya more than 2.6 million years ago, ancient humans wielded an array of stone tools—known collectively as the Oldowan toolkit—to pound plant material and carve up large prey such as hippopotamuses.This post was […]
Humans adapt to floods through private measures, early warning systems, emergency preparedness and other solutions. A new attribution study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows that such adaptation other than structural […]
Much previous work in the social sciences has involved researchers—often but not always from the Global North—collecting data from rural communities in the Global South on a wide range of topics from public health to […]
The magnitude 7.7 earthquake in Myanmar on 28 March 2025 caused widespread damage and over 3,800 fatalities, and also resulted in strong shaking and a building collapse in Bangkok, more than 1,000 km away. Preliminary […]
Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn’t a given. Scientists at Penn State have found a new […]
A new generation of CRISPR technology developed at UNSW Sydney offers a safer path to treating genetic diseases like sickle cell, while also proving beyond doubt that chemical tags on DNA—often thought to be little […]
Does keeping authors’ identities secret during peer review make the process more fair? A new large-scale field study, led by Indiana University College of Arts and Sciences Professor Tim Pleskac in collaboration with Ellie Kyung […]
