Researchers developed nanovesicles that change fluorescence based on water pressure. The sensitivity depends on the stiffness of the nanovesicle structure.
Cornell researchers developed a faster two-photon fluorescence imaging technique that may allow real-time observation of cell metabolism. The method was described in a study published Sept. 4 in Science Advances.
A study of 4,200 adolescents found that cyberbullying often occurs alongside physical and verbal aggression in schools. The researchers suggest this may indicate a broader pattern of violence.
Scientists have developed a new class of materials whose properties can be modified by changing the metal composition. The study suggests potential applications in gas storage and sensing.
Researchers developed a sensing method that detects particles without labels beyond sensor surfaces. The technique may improve detection of rare targets such as cancer cells in blood samples.
Washington State University researchers suggest forming a national consortium of land-grant universities to address increasing cyber threats to U.S. agriculture and food systems.
A study suggests U.S. universities have not significantly increased the racial diversity of their faculty, despite growing diversity among student populations.
Researchers used light to read electron spins inside porous crystals, a method that may support future quantum chemical sensors. The study involved multiple institutions and is still in early experimental stages.
A study suggests expanded financial audit reporting may be affecting multinational corporate behavior. Detailed audit requirements appear to be reducing the practice of shifting money across borders.
Researchers found fragmented bones and skull pieces in early Scandinavian homes, suggesting frequent violence occurred in domestic settings during the Iron Age and Viking Age.
Engineers tested mobile homes under hurricane-force winds and found significant structural vulnerabilities. The findings suggest improvements may be possible but require further research.
A large-scale study suggests women score higher on emotional intelligence tests than men, though the researchers note the findings may reflect social factors rather than inherent differences.
Researchers observed previously unseen chemical stages in the formation of β-lactam antibiotics like penicillin, which may aid future antibiotic development. The study used advanced imaging techniques to track the process in real time.
A quadruped robot covered over 26.2 miles of uneven, hilly terrain alongside human runners without recharging. The study suggests the robot's energy efficiency may be due to its gait and power management system.
A study from Lund University found that only 9% of major companies in sectors affecting biodiversity use biodiversity indicators. The researchers suggest this may limit their ability to make sustainable decisions.
A study commissioned by the Climate Research Initiative Netherlands found that large-scale carbon removal efforts require careful consideration of both ecological and social factors. The researchers suggest that current methods may have unintended consequences if not managed properly.
A study suggests preschool boys tend to choose characters in larger groups, while adults' preferences may reflect political attitudes. The findings are based on a small sample and require further validation.
A study suggests written language may slow cultural change by preserving traditions, but the findings are preliminary and based on limited data.
A study suggests AI, automation, and robotization may affect work engagement. The researchers found mixed results depending on the role and context of AI implementation.
The use of data in professional sports has become commonplace, but opinions on its impact on the enjoyment of the game remain split, according to the report.
The study suggests that steam coating alters surface roughness and pitting resistance in aluminum. Film thickness and surface morphology influence corrosion behavior, but results are based on laboratory experiments.
The study suggests that confidence in a relationship's future may influence feelings of romantic security. Researchers found that perceptions of closeness, trust, and connection are tied to expectations about the relationship's longevity.
A study suggests auditors are more likely to consider CEO misconduct as material when adopting an investor perspective. The research indicates that professional roles influence how auditors assess executive behavior.
Researchers developed a type of tattoo ink that can be made temporarily invisible using light. The method involves a chemical reaction triggered by specific wavelengths of light.
A report suggests AI is being integrated into Canadian settlement services for immigrants. The researchers found that while AI is expanding service delivery, its role should focus on supporting rather than replacing human workers.
A study suggests that offering alcohol-free beer on tap may not reduce pub revenues, according to research from the University of York. The findings are based on an evaluation of how introducing alcohol-free beer in three locations affected customer choices and sales.
A study suggests both autistic and nonautistic suspects may be judged more harshly if their interview behaviors are perceived as unusual. The findings challenge assumptions about how interview behaviors are interpreted.
Researchers explored how AI and mixed reality could support police in complex situations. The study suggests these tools may improve decision-making during training, but risks were also noted.
A study suggests that most trading card packs do not disclose the odds of obtaining rare cards. The researchers examined packs from multiple card types and found that rare cards are uncommon in most cases.
A study suggests that including LGBT stories in primary school literature may be linked to more inclusive attitudes among students. The researchers observed changes in attitudes after exposing students to such stories.
A study of industry records suggests a U.S. beef trade association recognized cattle's role in global warming by 1989 but prioritized public relations over addressing climate impacts.
The study suggests that informal food vendors provide essential nutrition in low-income and middle-income cities. Researchers observed vendors selling fish, vegetables, and meals in accessible locations.
A study suggests African economies may benefit from integrating digital technology with mineral processing. The researchers found that combining these areas could support more cohesive development strategies.
