Webb unveils stunning ejecta and CO structures in Cassiopeia A"s young supernova
The SETI Institute announced the latest findings from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of the supernova remnant, Cassiopeia A (Cas A). These observations of the youngest known core collapse supernova in the Milky Way provide insights into the co.....»»
Restructuring middle managers—findings from a case study of a major bank
Middle managers play an important role in an organization undergoing structural change. They are the ones who must implement the changes, but conversely, as employees, they will be subject to the very changes they put in place. This can often put the.....»»
Impacts of extreme drought on forest ecosystems reveal species-specific adaptation differences in Northeast China
A recent study from China has shed light on the profound impacts of extreme droughts on forest ecosystems, particularly in water-limited regions. The findings revealed significant differences in how various tree species respond to such stressors......»»
Hubble finds evidence for rare black hole in Omega Centauri
An international team of astronomers has used more than 500 images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope spanning two decades to detect seven fast-moving stars in the innermost region of Omega Centauri, the largest and brightest globular cluster i.....»»

Astronomers find the nearest massive black hole, a missing link in massive black hole formation
Newly identified fast-moving stars in the star cluster Omega Centauri provide solid evidence for a central black hole in the cluster. With at least 8,200 solar masses, it is the best candidate for a class of black holes astronomers have long believed.....»»
Surprise findings: American voters largely agree on issues including abortion, immigration and wealth inequality
As the presidential election campaign heats up, media coverage suggests Americans are hopelessly divided and headed for a difficult fall—perhaps also a tense January......»»
A reduction in Iberian pork preservatives is achieved thanks to a yeast
In the face of European regulations mandating salt and nitrite reductions in food, a team from the University of Cordoba has tested the potential of a yeast as a natural preservative in Iberian pork loin from the Pedroches Valley. The findings are pu.....»»
Extreme Wildfires Have Doubled in Frequency and Intensity in the Past 20 Years
These findings align with other evidence that wildfires are getting worse—such as the total area burned each year ratcheting up......»»
Researchers engineer poplar trees to synthesize valuable chemical squalene, normally harvested from shark livers
What do poplar trees, sharks and biofuels have in common? While it might sound a bit like a riddle, a team led by Michigan State University biochemists has reported exciting findings concerning all three in the quest for cleaner energy......»»
Age data show planetesimals provided building materials for water-rich planets in the early solar system
Age data for certain classes of meteorite have made it possible to gain new findings on the origin of small water-rich astronomical bodies in the early solar system. These so-called planetesimals continually supplied building materials for planets—.....»»
Intracellular mechanisms shown to promote spread of deadly bacterial infection
Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered novel protein mechanisms that promote the rapid spread of Vibrio vulnificus, a rare but lethal bacteria that can cause vibriosis and sepsis, according to findings published in the Proceedings of the.....»»
What do research organizations think about open access publishing?
A new report by COAlition S presents findings and recommendations on open publishing (open access) based on a large consultation among 11,600 researchers from around the world. The report, "'Towards Responsible Publishing': Findings from a global sta.....»»
Two new variable stars detected in globular cluster NGC 6558
An international team of astronomers has conducted a survey of variable stars in the field of a globular cluster known as NGC 6558. As a result, they identified dozens of variables, out of which two turned out to be new cluster members. The finding w.....»»
Well-performing pupils don"t need to attend academically selective schools to thrive, study finds
Findings published in a new paper in the British Journal of Educational Studies challenge the idea that academically selective schools are necessary for clever pupils to achieve good outcomes......»»
Discovering new anti-aging secrets from the world"s longest-living vertebrate
New experimental research shows that muscle metabolic activity may be an important factor in the incredible longevity of the world's oldest living vertebrate species—the Greenland shark. These findings may have applications for conservation of this.....»»
Astronomers observe a strong shock front in galaxy cluster SPT-CLJ 2031-4037
Using NASA's Chandra X-ray spacecraft, astronomers from the University of Alabama in Huntsville have observed a merging galaxy cluster known as SPT-CLJ 2031-4037. They detected a rarely seen strong shock front in this galaxy cluster. The finding was.....»»
Who Wants to Have Children in a Warming World?
Jade Sasser’s new book focuses on the racial dimensions of eco-anxiety. Among her findings: Women of color are likelier to say climate change will make them have fewer children than they want......»»
