A new study by University of Chicago Booth School of Business Professor Nicholas Epley and Ph.D. candidate Juliana Schroeder found that when hypothetical…
Bacteria usually live in species-rich communities and frequently exchange nutrients and other metabolites. Until now, it was unclear whether microorganisms…
Our daily sleep-wake cycle is governed by an internal 24-hour timer, the circadian clock. However, there is evidence that daily activity is also influenced by…
The new device developed by research groups lead by Professor Takayasu Sakurai at the Institute of Industrial Science and Professor Takao Someya at the…
The findings appear Feb. 23 online in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives. A PDF is available on request.
The new catalyst developed by Professor Kyoko Nozaki's research group at the Graduate School of Engineering enables selective cleaving (hydrogenolysis) of…
Beta Pictoris remains the only directly imaged debris disk that has a giant planet (discovered in 2009). Because the orbital period is comparatively short…
A research group led by Professor Hiroshi Kawarada (Faculty of Science and Engineering) has developed a highly efficient transistor used to reduce energy…
While public interest on possible extrateestrial life is increasing, only a fraction of the biodiversity of our own planet is known. Current estimates suggest…
Small wireless computing devices, ranging from the size of a matchbox to the size of a dime are going to change the way Florida monitors its water quality, sea…
The new findings depict three distinct stages of evolution in groups of gold nanorods from the initial rod-shape to the intermediate-shape to a sphere-shaped…
Graphene – a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon with highly desirable electrical properties, flexibility and strength – shows great promise for future electronics,…
What's new is that these evolutionary changes are happening much more quickly than previously thought, and have potential impacts on ecosystem function on a…
