These operations were carried out as part of the France-Atlantique project, for which the investme...

 Research shows that 15-minute cities can reduce the need for cars and create greener and more human-friendly cities. Experience from Odense and Ballerup indicates that citizens prioritize quality of life and green cities over efficient transport.Our interviews show that people's desires are about quality of life and not so much about efficien...

 A new princely tomb attributable to the Picene culture , dating back to the 7th century BC, has emerged from the subsoil of Contrada Nevola , in Corinaldo , in the province of Ancona , thanks to an excavation campaign led by the University of Bologna . The work of the archaeologists has brought to light a large quadrangular pit (about 3.80 by...

 When people think of greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, what often comes to mind are airplanes and land vehicles like cars or trucks. But as efforts to slow climate change are ramping up, the spotlight is on another form of transport: ships.The U.N.'s International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set targets to reduce shipping gree...

 By 2030, the UK Government wants offshore wind to produce enough electricity to power every single home in the country.This aim will be at the centre of the UK's drive towards net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with offshore wind power capacity rising from 30GW to 40GW.Being home to over a third of the world's offshore wind farms – including ...

 Researchers have identified the specific locations from which most of the approximately 200 Martian meteorites originate. They've traced the meteorites to five impact craters within two volcanic regions on the red planet called Tharsis and Elysium. Their study was published recently in the journal Science Advances.Martian meteorites find thei...

 The research, led by NTU Singapore, showed that when there is variety in agricultural landscapes, more diverse wildlife thrives on the farms.The optimum approach would be to grow different crops like vegetables and fruit trees on the same farm in varying field sizes and layouts, as well as have semi-natural landscape features that are not cro...

 A UAV (or drone) in flight can fall victim to different types of attacks. At Télécom SudParis, Alexandre Vervisch-Picois is working on a method for detecting attacks that shook ones concerning their position. This research could be used for both military and civilian applications.He set out to deliver your package one morning, but it never ar...

 At approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, the Milky Way's vastness and the broader, ever-changing dynamics of the cosmos defy any attempt to fully understand our home galaxy and its history. Even today's most powerful telescopes and astronomy tools can't give us a clear and complete picture of the Milky Way from an outsider's point of...

 In looking up at the sky during these early weeks of spring, you may very well see a flock of birds moving in unison as they migrate north. But how do these creatures fly in such a coordinated and seemingly effortless fashion?Part of the answer lies in precise, and previously unknown, aerodynamic interactions, reports a team of mathematicians...

 The new hubs, which are being supported by a £160 million investment, were announced today by Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, Peter Kyle. He said: 'We want to see a future where cutting-edge science improves everyday lives. That is the vision behind our investment in these new quantum technology hubs, by supporting ...

 UvA researchers present the AlgoSo cA I Opinion MonitorCurious about the AI use of, for example, 35-44 year olds? Or confidence in AI for a cancer diagnosis? With the UvA's AlgoSoc AI Opinion Monitor you can see how different groups in the Netherlands think about AI and to what extent they use it. 70% of Dutch people do not (yet) use generati...

 A breakthrough in electrolyte design has enabled battery charging at very low temperatures and at unprecedented speed.A new electrolyte designed by Zhejiang University researchers enables lithium-ion batteries to be charged at temperatures between –70 °C to 60 °C, and reach up to 80% capacity within 10 minutes at room temperature. Their findi...

 Research reveals ants inflict pain with neurotoxinsUQ researchers have shown for the first time that some of the world's most painful ant stings target nerves, like snake and scorpion venom.Dr Sam Robinson and colleagues at UQ's Institute for Molecular Bioscience discovered the ant neurotoxins while studying the Australian green ant and South...

 Our researchers are joining forces with peers at the National Trust to improve the UK's biodiversity and manage precious landscapes. In the face of rapid environmental change and declining biodiversity, the University of Exeter and the National Trust are driving closer collaboration between their research teams to mitigate new challenges. Thi...

 In the 1880s Heinrich Hertz discovered that a spark jumping between two pieces of metal emits a flash of light – rapidly oscillating electromagnetic waves – which can be picked up by an antenna. To honour his groundbreaking work, the unit of frequency was named "Hertz" in 1930. Hertz's findings were later used by Guglielmo Marconi (Nobel Priz...

 NMBU's researchers will use novel methods to examine how climate change impacts Nordic bat populations across seasons and latitudes, with the goal of informing future conservation strategies.The Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) has received funding for a new project that will expand our understanding on how climate change affects ...

 DURHAM, N.C. – In the several decades since sea otters began to recolonize their former habitat in Elkhorn Slough, a salt marsh-dominated coastal estuary in central California, remarkable changes have occurred in the landscape.Erosion of creekbanks and marsh edges in areas with large otter populations has slowed by up to 90%, at a time when r...

 Being nursed by a single parent could be an evolutionary strategy to curb the spread of harmful microbes in mammals, according to a novel theory developed by mathematicians.The dense rainforest canopies of Malaysia are home to the only known case of a wild male mammal that produces milk. The Dayak fruit bat is a vanishingly rare case of male ...

 A team of scientists has sequenced the Australian bilby's genome and captured biological information on how they grow and evolve, an important tool for conservation of the threatened species.Dr Rich Edwards, from Minderoo OceanOmics Centre at UWA's Oceans Institute, was co-author of the study led by Professor Carolyn Hogg at the University of...
