Parents, wealth, race drive girls’ chances to play sports
The likelihood that a girl will participate in high school sports in the United States is driven not so much by individual choice, new research suggests. Instead, decisions made by parents, the wealth of one’s family and community, and racial
Building bionic jellyfish for ocean exploration
Jellyfish can’t do much besides swim, sting, eat, and breed. They don’t even have brains. Yet, these simple creatures can easily journey to the depths of the oceans in a way that humans, despite all our sophistication, cannot. But what
Could fiber optic cable help scientists probe the deep layers of the moon?
An increasing number of seismologists are using fiber optic cables to detect seismic waves on Earth — but how would this technology fare on the Moon, and what would it tell us about the deep layers of our nearest neighbor
Astronomers reveal a new link between water and planet formation
Researchers have found water vapour in the disc around a young star exactly where planets may be forming. Water is a key ingredient for life on Earth, and is also thought to play a significant role in planet formation. Yet,
Poor spatial navigation could predict Alzheimer’s disease years before the onset of symptoms
People at risk of Alzheimer’s disease have impaired spatial navigation prior to problems with other cognitive functions, including memory, finds a new study led by UCL researchers. The research, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association,
Slimming down a colossal fossil whale
A 30 million year-old fossil whale may not be the heaviest animal of all time after all, according to a new analysis by paleontologists at UC Davis and the Smithsonian Institution. The new analysis puts Perucetus colossus back in the
Small dietary changes can cut your carbon footprint by 25%
The latest Canada’s Food Guide presents a paradigm shift in nutrition advice, nixing traditional food groups, including meat and dairy, and stressing the importance of plant-based proteins. Yet, the full implications of replacing animal with plant protein foods in Canadians’
Uncertainty in measuring biodiversity change could hinder progress towards global targets for nature
More than ever before, there is a growing interest in dedicating resources to stop the loss of biodiversity, as recently exemplified by the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) decided at COP15 in December 2022. The GBF focuses on understanding why
Astronomers discover heavy elements after bright gamma-ray burst from neutron star merger
An international team of astronomers — including Clemson University astrophysicist Dieter Hartmann — obtained observational evidence for the creation of rare heavy elements in the aftermath of a cataclysmic explosion triggered by the merger of two neutron stars. The massive
