Understanding anti-blackness at Hispanic-serving research universities

At Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), conversations about diversity often center on supporting Hispanic/Latine students. New research from scholars at University of New Mexico highlights an important and sometimes overlooked issue--the experiences of Black students at these un

Grasses provide most of the world's calories—but we're only now starting to learn how they

If we want to dismiss something as irrelevant, we'd say that it's "as boring as watching the grass grow." And yet grasses—including corn, wheat and rice—make up most of the plant-based calories humans eat, as well as most of the calories fed to livestock. Perhaps we should have b

X-ray tracking reveals uneven expansion in young supernova remnant G292.0+1.8

By analyzing data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, Dutch astronomers have investigated a young, oxygen-rich supernova remnant known as G292.0+1.8. Results of the new study, published June 29 on the arXiv preprint server, yield important insights into the expansion of this r

'Their story is our story': Pigeons and humans, 3,500 years together

They have been our meat and our messengers, a source of fertilizer and a religious symbol: while pigeons are now mostly reviled as dirty city pests, they long played an important role in human society.

A robot that reads bacteria by touch, without staining or chemical labels

Fast identification of bacteria is important in health care, food safety, environmental monitoring and infection control. One of the most common first steps is gram classification, which separates bacteria into gram-positive and gram-negative groups. This information can help gui

Chemists make elusive carbon-bridged sandwich molecule once thought too strained to exist

Progress in chemistry is often gradual, with some of its most important advances taking years—sometimes decades—to unfold. A case in point is the discovery of a novel "ferrocenophane" from the class of compounds known as "sandwich molecules"—so named because of their particular s

For Black girls, puberty is more than physical—it transforms conversations about identity

Some of the most meaningful changes during puberty may not happen in the body alone. They may also happen in conversation. A new University of Michigan study suggests that as Black girls move through puberty, conversations with their mothers become an important space for making s

The family tree of viruses just grew, and it paves the way for a new approach to agricultu

Researchers have discovered that a group of viruses known to infect an agriculturally important plant pathogen has remained genetically stable for an astonishing four decades. The discovery of a disease-fighting virus that doesn't mutate at a rapid rate points the way toward new

Evolutionary history shapes plant carbon storage strategies worldwide

Two types of carbohydrates are important to plants—structural carbohydrates (which form cell walls) and nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs). The latter group represents plants' stored energy reserves, which can be used to survive cold or drought; regrow after damage; recover from

New atomic trap boosts quantum performance by using surface forces

Researchers at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin have developed a new method for trapping and controlling atoms near an ultrathin glass fiber. This has significantly improved the atoms' ability to store quantum information—an important step forward for future quantum technologies.
