Atmospheric rivers contribute to the acceleration of glacial melting in northern Greenland, as warming conditions caused by these moisture flows result in meltwater pools and…
In a significant breakthrough for the field of computational chemistry, chemical engineers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have created a model that elucidates how catalytic…
Daily stress can have negative effects on an individual’s health, both physically and emotionally. However, recent research led by David Almeida, a professor of human…
A recent study involving thousands of individuals from around the world has shown that there is significant variation in the amount of water that people…
On Earth, trillions of subatomic particles called neutrinos stream through our bodies every second, but we never notice because they rarely interact with matter. In…
A new study reveals that the brains of humans and non-human primates may be remarkably similar, despite the very distinct physical differences between them. And…
Probiotic bacteria, like elite firefighters heading into the wilderness to combat an uncontrolled blaze, do a better job of quelling gut inflammation when they’re outfitted…
Evidence of high-energy neutrino emission from the galaxy NGC 1068 has been found by an international team of scientists for the first time. First spotted…

An unexpected relationship between two of the most frequent cancer-causing factors might lead to more effective drugs. According to a recent study from the University…
A new model that will allow scientists to better study and treat metabolic illnesses Despite the fact that insulin was discovered more than a century…
A new study finds no indication of structural brain change with short-term mindfulness training New evidence revealed in the mid-twentieth century that the brain might…
Eliminating air pollution emissions from energy-related activities in the United States would prevent more than 50,000 premature deaths each year and provide more than $600…
A new biodegradable gel improves the immune system’s ability to keep cancer at bay after tumors are surgically removed. The gel, tested in mice, releases…
University of Wisconsin–Madison physicists have made one of the highest performance atomic clocks ever. Their instrument, known as an optical lattice atomic clock, can…
To get through a long winter without food, hibernating animals — like the 13-lined ground squirrel — can slow their metabolism by as much as…
A research team at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has identified a new way to convert ammonia to nitrogen gas through a process that could be…
