World Cup data reveals initiative alone doesn't improve team performance
Team members' initiative can help teams succeed, but only when it is paired with strong coordination, according to new research from Washington State University.

Synchronized infrared lasers control molecular shape changes and expose hidden fingerprint
Researchers from the Molecular Physics and Physical Chemistry departments of the Fritz Haber Institute have shown how two highly synchronized infrared (IR) laser beams can control molecules as they switch between different structural conformations. Their study provides a new wind
Could 'Trojan horse'-type microorganisms that exploit symbiotic systems be candidates for
Researchers at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), in collaboration with researchers from The University of Electro-Communications (UEC) and Akita Prefectural University, have discovered a new insect pathogen that invades the gut symbiotic org
Brown leaves before fall could signal lasting heat damage, researchers warn
Due to increasing heat and drought, forests are turning brown more often before autumn, when leaf senescence normally occurs. It is often unclear whether the trees are actively shedding foliage to avoid a breakdown in water transport or whether browning leaves are a consequence o
Simulation reveals how glaciers transported rocks across the Alps 24,000 years ago
Many of the boulders scattered across the Swiss landscape did not originate where they now stand. Instead, they were carried by ice nearly 24,000 years ago. For the first time, researchers at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) have reconstructed the journeys of these giant rocks a
Coral loss may erase up to $3 billion in Hawaiʻi reef recreation by 2100
Coral reef decline driven by climate change could cost Hawaiʻi residents between $1.8 billion and $3 billion in lost reef-related activities by 2100, according to a new study published in Ecological Economics. The research projects that these burdens will not fall equally, with l
Discarded plastic bottles help save dolphins from fishing nets
Newcastle University researchers have demonstrated that plastic bottles attached to fishing nets can help dolphins detect and avoid being caught and killed in the deadly gear.
More Canadian than the beaver? Scientists discover a western toad found only in Canada
The beaver and moose may be enduring symbols of Canadian wildlife, but neither is uniquely Canadian from a genetic perspective. But a team of researchers from the University of Ottawa has now discovered something rare: a genetically distinct and exclusively Canadian population of
Airborne AI spots underwater munitions in shallow seas with high precision
A new airborne imaging approach can reliably detect unexploded weapons that lie in shallow coastal waters and remain an ongoing hazard to public safety, marine ecosystems and infrastructure worldwide. By combining advanced multispectral sensing with artificial intelligence, the r
Postwar research compact fueled U.S. prosperity for eight decades, argues commentary
As the United States celebrates 250 years of independence, Science has published a commentary by Johns Hopkins University President Ron Daniels highlighting the impact of the reimagining of the American university pioneered by Johns Hopkins in the late 19th century—and how the be
This satellite constellation transformed earth science by creatively tuning in to GPS sign
When NASA's Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System, or CYGNSS, launched into orbit in 2016, none of the University of Michigan Engineering researchers who developed the system expected it to transform earth science. They certainly had high hopes for the system's original miss
Feline fleas carry bacteria linked to human disease in South Texas, study finds
As human cases of flea-borne murine typhus continue to occur in South Texas, researchers are working to better understand the role cats and their fleas may play in the disease's transmission cycle.
