Using associative learning, in some ways a pigeon’s peck can mirror high tech. A University of Iowa study discovered that pigeons and artificial intelligence share…
Scientists create a new model to detect COVID-19’s effects using 2D chest X-rays. For patients dealing with lingering respiratory symptoms from COVID-19, a traditional chest…
Early crust on Mars may be more complex than researchers previously thought—and it may even be similar to Earth’s original crust. The Martian surface is…
At one time or another, we’ve all felt paralyzed by a threat or danger. Now scientists have traced where that reaction to a threat arises….
Researchers find crocodile species that likely preyed on early humans. Millions of years ago, giant dwarf crocodiles inhabited Africa that loved to eat our human…
Scientists have learned how discrete aurora is formed on Mars. In a new study, the physicists report that the upstream solar wind properties interacting with…
A University of Iowa neuroscience research team has identified a fundamental biochemical mechanism underlying memory storage and has linked this mechanism to cognitive deficits in…
With so many health experts, public officials, and organizations pushing for COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters, you may be wondering why vaccinated individuals are still getting…
About 400,000 years after the universe was created began a period called “The Epoch of Reionization.” During this time, the once hotter universe began to…
As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led…
The aurora borealis, or northern lights, that fill the sky in high-latitude regions have fascinated people for thousands of years. But how they’re created, while…
Invasive species, beware: Your days of hiding may be ending. Biologists led by the University of Iowa discovered the presence of the invasive New Zealand…
The famed northern and southern lights have been studied for millennia, but they still hold secrets. In a new study, physicists led by the University…
To come into being, galaxies need a steady diet of cold gases to undergo gravitational collapse. The larger the galaxy, the more cold gas it…
Physicists report accelerated electrons linked with cosmic rays. More than 40 years since they launched, the Voyager spacecraft are still making discoveries. In a new…
A halo is a large region filled with hot gas that surrounds a galaxy, also known as a “circumgalactic medium.” The heated gaseous halo around…
The Milky Way galaxy is in the recycling business. University of Iowa astronomers have determined our galaxy is surrounded by a clumpy halo of hot…
Researchers at the University of Iowa and the University of Georgia have developed a vaccine that fully protects mice against a lethal dose of MERS,…
