Prescribed burns may generate over 20% of fine particle pollution in southeastern US

Prescribed fires are vital for reducing wildfire risk and sustaining forest biodiversity. But they also contribute significantly to air pollution and smoke exposure, according to new research from the University of Georgia. The issue is especially pertinent to the southeastern Un

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

Purine-heavy DNA sequences protect Bacillus subtilis genes from Rho termination

In the study of bacteria, a longstanding dogma has held that two molecular machines—RNA polymerase, which leads the way in transcribing DNA into RNA, and ribosomes, which bring up the rear translating RNA into proteins—worked so closely in tandem that they were effectively attach

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

Beyond the 24-hour day: How employee biological clocks and beliefs drive workplace coopera

Employees' biological clocks do more than determine when they reach for coffee; they fundamentally shape how, when and why people help each other at work. A study published in Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes introduces the concept of "time-extension self-effi

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

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

Hantaviruses may have co-evolved with rodents for ages, helping explain silent spread

What does a hantavirus do inside its rodent hosts? How do these viruses move through animal populations? And how is it that they cause almost no apparent symptoms in rodents, yet can be nearly fatal in humans? Specially Appointed Professor Hiroaki Kariwa has been studying hantavi

A strange LIGO signal could reveal the missing link behind dark matter

An unusual gravitational wave signal has renewed hopes that primordial black holes, long considered purely theoretical, may finally be within reach of discovery. If confirmed, they could solve one of astronomy's greatest mysteries by explaining the nature of dark matter.

Weatherwatch: How thunder is made

Sound of thunder varies depending on distance of listener from lightning as atmosphere muffles and absorbs sound A bolt of lightning heats the air almost instantly to as high as 30,000C, causing explosive expansion and a supersonic shock wave that becomes thunder. What that thund

Mapping men's violence programs reveals major Indo-Pacific research gaps

Domestic and family violence (DFV) rates in the Indo-Pacific are among the highest globally, but there is a lack of focus, both in research and policy, on the issue across the region. In the first analysis of its kind centered on the Indo-Pacific, Griffith University researchers
