An international team of scientists including Rutgers researchers has found that modern rates of sea level rise began emerging in 1863 as the Industrial Age intensified, coinciding with evidence for early ocean warming and glacier melt.
Low-cost jelly-like materials, developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge, can sense strain, temperature and humidity. And unlike earlier self-healing robots, they can also partially repair themselves at room temperature.
Under a 15-year strategic collaboration agreement signed between Moderna and Thermo Fisher Scientific, both the firms will work together to ensure large-scale manufacturing of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine, and other investigational mRNA drugs in the USA.
Some corals can recover after massive mortality episodes caused by the water temperature rise. This survival mechanism in the marine environment — known as rejuvenation — had only been described in some fossil corals so far.
By identifying a protein that helps regulate blood glucose and lipids, researchers hope for the rapid development of treatments more effective than current insulin therapy.
Researchers at the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country and Colorado State University (USA) have developed a new class of biorenewable, biodegradable plastics. The scientists claim that their plastics are an improvement on existing ones and would promote the circular economy.
A new DNA test, developed by researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney and collaborators from Australia, UK and Israel, has been shown to identify a range of hard-to-diagnose neurological and neuromuscular genetic diseases quicker and more-accurately than existing tests.
Researchers from University of Massachusetts Lowell, University of South Carolina, and Hong Kong Polytechnic University published a new paper in the Journal of Marketing that examines how pet-related experiences affect people’s consumption-related decisions.
