Traces of a giant landslide deep in the southern Baltic Sea—researchers investigate a potential tsunami
Off the coast of Blekinge, in southern Sweden, at a depth of around 50–60 meters, the bottom sediment has scars that are tens of kilometers long and appear to have been caused by a huge submarine landslide. However, what caused this landslide and e.....»»
Reindeer vocalization can offer cues to potential mates, study suggests
The sounds produced by male reindeer probably tell potential mates a lot about the caller: their age, size and weight. These are all important considerations for a female during the rut, according to a new Concordia-led study......»»

Companies that self-regulate to curb harmful practices increase profits, finds study
Companies in China that self-regulate to reduce harmful social practices—an increasingly prevalent strategy—are more likely to attract reputation-sensitive buyers and increase their exports to the Western world, new Cornell research finds......»»
Tick tubes help reduce the parasites on mice, but time and frequency matter
Ticks are a nuisance across many areas of the U.S., capable of spreading harmful pathogens to both animals and humans. A new study led by researchers at Penn State has analyzed the effectiveness of a simple, inexpensive strategy for controlling ticks.....»»
New AI tool generates realistic satellite images of future flooding
Visualizing the potential impacts of a hurricane on people's homes before it hits can help residents prepare and decide whether to evacuate. MIT scientists have developed a method that generates satellite imagery from the future to depict how a regio.....»»
New mechanism in bacterial DNA enzyme opens pathways for antibiotic development
Researchers from Durham University, Jagiellonian University (Poland) and the John Innes Center have achieved a breakthrough in understanding DNA gyrase, a vital bacterial enzyme and key antibiotic target. This enzyme, present in bacteria but absent i.....»»

Gene regulation study reports surprising results: Extensive regions of DNA belong to multiple gene switches
Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are therefore separated from each other, even if they.....»»
