[ad_1] According to new research involving the University of Plymouth, animal groups consider multiple factors before deciding whether to fight rivals. Before one-on-one fights, animals are known to make decisions based on factors including the size and strength of the opponent, the outcome of recent fights, and the importance of …

[ad_1] Who says you can’t get hotter with age? Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and other institutions have found that, on average, the temperature of galaxy clusters today is 4 million degrees Fahrenheit. This is 10 times hotter than 10 billion years ago and four times hotter than the Sun’s …

[ad_1] The universe is getting hotter, a new study has discovered. The study, published Oct.13 in the Astrophysical Journal, probed the thermal history of the universe over the past 10 billion years. He found that the average gas temperature in the universe increased more than 10 times over that time …

[ad_1] Mongooses rarely leave the group they were born into, so members are usually genetically related. The new study, published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how females bypass the problem of inbreeding. The research team, led by the University of Cambridge and the …

[ad_1] The fast, low-cost technique is the first to analyze DNA left in animal feces to map complex networks of species interactions in a terrestrial system. It could help redefine conservation as we know it, identify otherwise hard-to-find species, and lead a global effort to restore large areas. Watch the …

[ad_1] Metal-organic structures (MOFs) are a class of porous and crystalline materials that are synthesized from inorganic metal ions or clusters attached to organic ligands. Two of these materials are shown, HKUST-1 and MIL-100 (Fe). (Credit: Tania Evans, Georgia Tech) An artificial intelligence technique, machine learning, is helping to accelerate …

[ad_1] Paleoanthropologists have discovered a two-million-year-old adult hominid skull – the first known and best-preserved specimen of Paranthropus robustus ever found. Researchers from the Department of Archeology at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, led the excavation, reconstruction and analysis of the rare male fossil from the main Drimolen quarry …

[ad_1] Diversity in Hawaiian corals is likely driven by coevolution Diversity in Hawaiian corals is likely driven by coevolution. A study funded by the National Science Foundation of the United States conducted by researchers from the University of Hawaii at Mānoa revealed that diversity in Hawaiian corals is likely driven …

[ad_1] The integrated detector combines a silicon photonic chip with a silicon microelectronic chip, delivering an advanced speed in quantum light detection. Bristol researchers have developed a tiny device that paves the way for higher-performance quantum computers and quantum communications, making them significantly faster than the current state of the …

[ad_1] Spending time regularly in nature appears to have strong psychological benefits. As more compelling evidence comes in, doctors are prescribing more and more time outdoors, in the green or near water to give our mental health a boost. While these recommendations may help some people, new research suggests there …
