Science, engineering, and discovery — the research and breakthroughs that matter.

Firefighters battling devastating fires in France have had to contend with a new threat: immense fire clouds that create their own wind and even lightning that can spark fresh blazes.

An SKKU research team led by Professor Travers B. Child of the SKK Graduate School of Business (SKK GSB) has become the first in the world to use micro-level data to demonstrate that aid fragmentation—the phenomenon in which numerous international aid agencies operate simultaneou

Wild seabirds that face high energy demands during the breeding season go on to migrate farther and raise more chicks the next year, but at a cost to their own survival. An international team led by researchers from Nagoya University raised the energy cost of flight for some bird

Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), the Technical University of Darmstadt, Sapienza University in Rome and the University of Camerino (both in Italy) have calculated the fundamental laws of thermodynamics for a gas composed of spinning particles. In the sc

A simple, low-dose leaf spray could give farmers a practical new tool to keep growing tomatoes on land that salt has rendered increasingly unproductive, according to a study led by a researcher at The University of Texas at El Paso.

Scientists at Houston Methodist Research Institute have developed a biodegradable implant designed to deliver cancer-fighting immunotherapy drugs directly into tumors over an extended period, a strategy that could improve treatment effectiveness while reducing side effects.

For decades, satellites have helped scientists observe Earth's changing landscapes. Now, they could also help answer one of agriculture's most pressing questions: How can the world produce more food while reducing its environmental impact?

The United Nations has fast-tracked a vast antelope migration path in South Sudan onto its List of World Heritage in Danger, the young nation's first such listing.

Low-level clouds over Earth's oceans play a prominent role in keeping our planet cool by reflecting sunlight away from the surface. But their response to climate change has been hard to model. Now, researchers at Caltech and Google have uncovered important insights into how cloud

Positrons—the antimatter counterpart of electrons—are created in high-energy cosmic processes. When normal matter meets its antimatter counterpart, they annihilate, or vanish, and produce a distinctive 511 keV gamma-ray signal. Scientists use this signal to detect where these ann

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have found that today's leading artificial intelligence tools for predicting protein structures routinely generate results that are physically and chemically impossible, exposing critical blind spots in how AI is being applied

Five young Pallas's cats—dubbed the world's grumpiest felines for their sullen facial expressions—went on display at a zoo in Japan on Thursday.

Burying underwear in soil isn't a typical science lesson. But for students on Hornby Island, it's one way they can learn how seaweed supports local ecosystems.

Adolescents in both the United States and the United Kingdom have become increasingly ambitious about their future careers over the past two decades, according to a new study by researchers at Penn State. The team also found that family socioeconomic background plays a different

Interviews with political activists in Southern California showed stark differences in how migrants are viewed: either "like us" and deserving of rights or lawbreakers undeserving of social belonging and benefits.

Firefighters battling devastating fires in France have had to contend with a new threat: immense fire clouds that create their own wind and even lightning that can spark fresh blazes.

Heat warnings have stretched across Canada this summer, from Atlantic Canada and southern British Columbia to the Prairies, central Canada and the Northwest Territories.

Laser dicing, a technique that uses focused laser pulses to separate individual chips from a semiconductor wafer, is increasingly favored over mechanical blade cutting because it can process delicate, low-strength materials with minimal physical stress. However, achieving proper

An international study led by the Universities of Córdoba and Pisa used isotopic analysis to reconstruct the dietary traces left in human remains found in an Italian necropolis, revealing what daily life was like in that community 2,700 years ago. Despite the passage of time, cer

Doctors can often detect diseases in humans using minimally invasive methods, like blood or urine tests, before symptoms become severe. Now, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) are applying a similar concept to coral reefs, showing that the water surrou

Complex simulations—the most intricate of their kind to date—carried out by an international research team led by scientists at Heidelberg University's Institute for Physical Chemistry, have revealed how water governs the way protons move through it. Using their modeling, researc

Archaeological excavations generate a vast quantity of documents of various types and formats, which constitute a scientific heritage of great value. However, the way this data is organized, documented and preserved remains highly varied. This is the main conclusion of the articl

Heavy snowfall in the Argentine Andes has forced more than 100 people to evacuate and stalled almost 1,000 trucks on snow-covered roads, while flights were rerouted Monday.

An SKKU research team led by Professor Travers B. Child of the SKK Graduate School of Business (SKK GSB) has become the first in the world to use micro-level data to demonstrate that aid fragmentation—the phenomenon in which numerous international aid agencies operate simultaneou
