The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) core observatory satellite does both of those things and has been providing that information each time it passes…
Previously known as tropical low pressure area “System 99E,” the storm finally developed after days of remaining unorganized. NOAA's GOES-West satellite…
Robert Abramovitch, an MSU microbiologist, along with graduate student Benjamin Johnson who helped lead the study, have discovered that ethoxzolamide, a…
“For the first time we can perform a genome-wide search to identify the entire set of proteins that play a role in a drug's activity,” says study co-author Dr….
New research reveals that some of the earliest civilizations in the Middle East and the Fertile Crescent may have been affected by abrupt climate change.
Needlescopic surgery, which uses surgical instruments shrunk to the diameter of a sewing needle, is the ultimate form of minimally invasive surgery. The…

One less-studied pattern of evolution on islands is the tendency for animal populations to develop “melanism”–that is, dark or black coloration. J. Albert Uy…
Accordingly, the whole spectrum of biological materials will be covered. Topics will encompass the formation mechanisms as well as the characterization of…
The index has now been falling since February 2015. The flash estimate for June is based on data for 41 ports, which combined account for almost 73% of the…
Baking is energy-intensive. This not only has a negative impact on the environment but also on the baker’s wallet. That is why the NanoBAK2 research project…
By allowing indoor occupants to more precisely control the energy and sunlight passing through a window, the new materials could significantly reduce costs for…
About 30 million people are dependent on the protection by coral reefs as they live on low-lying coral islands and atolls. At present, some of these islands…
