An innovative “cooling glass” developed by University of Maryland researchers offers a groundbreaking, electricity-free solution for reducing indoor heat and carbon emissions, marking a significant…
Viruses can become “sick” when another virus impairs their function. This often involves a battle for control within a host cell. Satellite viruses, like the…
A new study using nearly eight years of data from the CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) instrument on the International Space Station reports more electrons arriving…
Time travel, a longstanding fascination in science fiction, remains a complex and unresolved concept in science. The second law of thermodynamics suggests time can only…
Researchers discovered a unique viral interaction where a satellite bacteriophage physically attaches to a helper bacteriophage. This groundbreaking finding, originating from what was initially thought…
University of Maryland scientists have pioneered a technology to make lithium batteries safer and more efficient for EVs by suppressing dendrite growth. While promising, there…
The Bakken Shale Formation has offered a new insight into Earth’s geological history, revealing a major trigger for several biotic crises during the late Devonian…

In a new study, entomologists show that the lifespan for individual honey bees kept in a controlled, laboratory environment is 50% shorter than it was in…
The scientists discovered that even if a dry period just impacts one particular section of the forest, the damage it causes extends beyond that zone…
Viruses are using information from their environment to “decide” when to sit tight inside their hosts and when to multiply and burst out, killing the…
