New UC Riverside research suggests nitrogen released by gas-powered machines causes dry soil to let go of carbon and release it back into the atmosphere, where it can contribute to climate change, suggests the findings of UC Riverside's new research.
Scientists have taken the first step at estimating the best large-scale uses for food processing waste, first analyzing its contents and, based on those findings, proposing production opportunities ranging from sustainable fuels, biogas and electricity to useful chemicals and organic fertili
Researchers report that elephants play a key role in creating forests which store more atmospheric carbon and maintain the biodiversity of forests in Africa.
Scientists have long worked to better understand the immunological responses of the human body throughout various diseases, such as cancer and inflammatory diseases.
In the water from a home aquarium, a brand-new species of microalgae was discovered. While analyzing DNA samples taken from the algae, researchers from the University of Tokyo discovered Medakamo hakoo, whose DNA sequence didn't match any on record.
Investigators have developed an artificial skin that is even more sensitive than human skin in its ability to detect pressure applied by an object as well as its approach.
Advances in understanding the diverse genetic causes of childhood-onset hearing loss suggest that genomic testing could help with treatment planning, including appropriate therapy timing.
There may be greater public health risks associated with the ultraviolet nail polish drying equipment used to cure gel manicures than previously realised.
Professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy at the University of Chicago, Nicholas G. Hatsopoulos, PhD, has long been fascinated by space. Specifically, the physical space occupied by the brain.
Advances in understanding the many different genetic causes of childhood-onset hearing loss indicate that genomic testing could assist in treatment planning, including optimal timing of treatment.
