Researchers explored the evolution of metal-binding proteins across billions of years. Addressing one of the most profoundly unanswered questions in biology, a Rutgers-led team has…
Cyber attackers could target 3D printed objects in health care, aerospace, and other fields. Cybersecurity researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick and the Georgia Institute…
A new Rutgers study will examine how COVID-19 is affecting individuals in a number of cognitive-related areas, including memory loss, “brain fog,” and dementia. “Many…
Researchers studied mercury accumulation in the migratory species around the world. Bluefin tuna, a long-lived migratory species that accumulates mercury as it ages, can be…
Exposure to antibiotics in utero or after birth could lead to brain disorders in later childhood, says Rutgers researcher. Antibiotic exposure early in life could…
A massive volcanic eruption in Indonesia about 74,000 years ago likely caused severe climate disruption in many areas of the globe, but early human populations…
COVID-19’s socio-economic effects will likely cause another severe production crisis in the coffee industry, according to a Rutgers University-led study. The study, which appears in…
A Rutgers-led team of researchers has developed a microchip that can measure stress hormones in real time from a drop of blood. The study appears…
Surprising finding challenges current theories on how galaxies grow. Three dozen dwarf galaxies far from each other had a simultaneous “baby boom” of new stars,…
Highlights Need to Protect Orangutan Habitat Wild orangutans are known for their ability to survive food shortages, but scientists have made a surprising finding that…
Antarctic ice sheet is more likely to remain stable if Paris climate agreement is met. The Antarctic ice sheet is much less likely to become…
Scientists’ findings suggest corals will withstand climate change. Charles Darwin, the British naturalist who championed the theory of evolution, noted that corals form far-reaching structures,…
Study suggests reducing fishing and addressing environmental changes would help cod recover. Overfishing likely did not cause the Atlantic cod, an iconic species, to evolve…
Global increase from melting ice and warming oceans is most significant change since 1800. The rate of sea-level rise in the 20th century along much…
Genetic code evolution and Darwin’s evolution theory should consider DNA an “energy code.” Darwin’s theory of evolution should be expanded to include consideration of a…
How did rocks rust on Earth and turn red? A Rutgers-led study has shed new light on the important phenomenon and will help address questions…
Unprecedented warming in equatorial Pacific Ocean could last up to seven years. A nuclear war could trigger an unprecedented El Niño-like warming episode in the…
How to Identify Heat-Stressed Corals Researchers have found a novel way to identify heat-stressed corals, which could help scientists pinpoint the coral species that need protection…
